I Am Woman…..
I’m always amazed when I do something I thought I couldn’t do, or was impossible. Marathons, losing weight yes, but even little things. Like when I was in high school and I had my first car (89 Dodge Colt). I had a tail light that burnt out. I thought about waiting until my dad got… Continue reading

Amputation Part III
Well, I did it…..I cut off the cable. This decision has been something that has been brewing for a few years. In fact, some 5 or 6 years ago, Eric and I started discussing our television viewing habits. We started small by removing the television from our bedroom. It wasn’t like we felt we were… Continue reading

Kindness
It hasn’t been a particularly rough day. Or week. My son started preschool and it’s been fun and exciting. We’ve been running errands and doing this and that. No big deal. Today Hannah had her 2 year well-child check up. She’s growing like a weed and is in the 80-90th percentiles for height and weight.… Continue reading

Public Speaking, My Story and Comfort Zones
I gave the greeting at church this morning. At our church, that doesn’t mean just standing at a door and shaking hands as people come in. It means getting up on the platform and telling the congregation, in both services, (probably about 600 people) what God is doing in your life/has done recently or what… Continue reading

More Deployment Positives
As I am getting along and finding my groove with the kiddos, I keep thinking of the positives of deployment and more and more are cropping up. I love how no matter what a person looks for – they will find it. If I am looking for the positives or the negatives of a situation… Continue reading

Blegh. On More than One Level
Blegh. There. I said it. I’m feeling a little blue as the reality of going it alone for 9 months sinks in. I know I’m not ALONE alone. There are plenty of people to help out, offer support and are just there for me and the kids. But, it isn’t Eric. There isn’t a replacement… Continue reading
