Jason and I have both been working at our marriage. And you know a happy marriage does take work. That doesn’t sound very romantic, but actually it is! Think dancing in the living room to ’80’s love songs ha ha! And by working I mean consciously, actively putting God first and each other before ourselves. … [continue reading]
A story of hope.
I want to share a story of love and hope with you. I’ve mentioned a few times on my blog that this last year has been tough. Miscarriages, job changes, and much more have also taken a toll on our marriage. I am not going to go into detail. The issues themselves are not my… [continue reading]
My Crazy Dating Ideas
The last couple of years I have thought a lot about dating. My children are still young, but it is in preparation for what we would have them do and why that I have pondered these issues. I have never been in the Courtship camp. Why would have to be another post. But I certainly… [continue reading]

He had had several interviews, but I didn’t think we were at the accepting stage. Jason had been so excited about this… [continue reading]
You said what?
My husband has accepted a position at a new engineering firm. I am really sad to see him leave his job of over eight years because he has enjoyed it all these years, but a growing family and things such as BILLS drove him to interview in search of a salary increase. He has had… [continue reading]
Funny Husband Quotes about cooking

This time of year I see so many dating ideas going around, and I think that’s great! But yes, I kissed dating goodbye. Sound kind of funny coming from a married woman?

Pitch a fit
It was me. I pitched a fit. My husband was standing behind me telling me what to do. I was trying so hard to get it right. He was making me very nervous with the things he kept calling out for me to do. Though I was trying, I just knew I’d end up with… [continue reading]
