God works in strange ways many times. This is actually the second time I have written this post, but the first time got deleted. I was immediately filled with frustration when all that work disappeared, but now I’m looking at it as a new opportunity to maybe approach this post in a way I didn’t … [Read more…]
Today is April 1st… When most people think of April 1st, they think of April fools. But my first thoughts of April 1st are that it is the first day of a new month, which means only 2-3 months til my husband comes home from Afghanistan! Homecoming has got to be the most wonderful part … [Read more…]
It was our first anniversary, and my husband was on the other side of the world. I hadn’t seen him in four months. I pretty much spent all of the day in the house, not because I intentionally wanted to or enjoyed being a hermit, it just happened that way. I taught piano lessons in … [Read more…]
I’ve been a wifey for a year now. Tomorrow is our first anniversary! It’s weird to me…(I know, a strange way to begin a blog post about an anniversary)…but it’s true. Because I don’t feel like I’ve been married for a whole year. Russ and I have spent 4 months and 22 days of that … [Read more…]

Where do I begin? In the last 3 days I’ve gone from absolutely loving today, to absolutely hating it. Let me explain… On Thursday, I went to HEB to grab some groceries really quick for dinner. It was like paradise! Balloons, roses, chocolate, strawberries, and hearts were EVERYWHERE!!! I instantly became a pile of melty … [Read more…]
When I hear the word four, I think of so many things. Four can be an eternity, or the blink of an eye. Four more months (maybe) until hubby comes home. We still aren’t for sure, but it’s what I’m holding onto. This four seems like an eternity. Russ and I are both worn thin. … [Read more…]
God has been doing some marvelous things in my life, and teaching me some lessons, but he has used the medium of “change” to do so.
Our life is full of change. It seems like Russell’s schedule is like a ping-pong game. Back and forth. But what I’ve learned about ping-pong is that, even when the ball lands on the same side of the table, it will rarely land in the same place twice. And every time the player has to … [Read more…]
