Welcome to My Blog!


Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

A Weekend to Remember

Posted in Wife Things
Can I just say that this weekend may qualify for one of the more sweet memories I want to keep and cherish? I don't quite know how to put it into words. There are easy things, and then there are the things that challenge me in every way to put into words.

My Hero has been blessed, big time, by his amazing mom. I won't get into the details on that, but suffice it to say she single-handedly impacted our family in a powerful way in a few sentences. One would think words out of a mouth might be encouraging, sweet, and uplifting. Her words were all of that and more. They reflected generosity and grace I can't even put into words. In the words of my dear friend, Pam, 'What a woman!'

My Hero also surprised me with memory for my computer on Saturday night. I'll just say mbps has new meaning to me! Not only do pages load, but they load, like, in seconds. This doesn't happen in 60 seconds or even 30 seconds. (My kids could learn about responsiveness from my computer now.) What a contrast!

What a weekend! I don't know what to say beyond that. I know my Father "owns the cattle on a thousand hills" in a very real way as I reflect on the last 48 hours or so. How cool!
