Welcome to my blog!

Well this is my first posting, and I am super excited. I look forward to sharing some of my life's experiences with you, from my son's teething to the recipe I tried this past weekend, to the disaster I had in the laundry room to my dream landscape plan for my yard. You can expect to see a little bit of everything on here. I hope you enjoy :)





Todays to do's:



Head to the local grocery, to pick up some produce (white onion, bananas, berries, lettuce, bell pepper)



Meeting with our adoption social worker this afternoon, for our once monthly get together



Wash the dishes



Look at paint colors online ( then decide which room I want to paint first), when we bought our home a year ago every room was an off white, well its time for a change



See if I can save the scotch moss in the yard by transplanting it to a sunnier spot (not looking promising)



Read up on herb planting



Head to our friends housewarming party, Congrats Mike & Sara!!





I spend a lot of time making lists because it's one of the best ways for me to plan out my day and stay organized. One of my biggest trials in life is learning to be flexible. God sure pushed me in the right direction when he taught me about true sacrifice when we had our son. Having Michael has meant giving up all of my me time. I thought it would be harder, but I look at his beautiful little face and it's so easy. Speaking of Michael, I would love to post pics of him for you all to see, but because legally we are still his fos-adopt parents I am not allowed to show him on this site or any others that are public. So we'll have a big celebration the day I can finally show him off to ya'll.



A few thoughts to leave you with.........appreciate everything the Lord has given you. Living simply can be extremely gratifying, and learning to give of yourself for the good of others, hard as it may be has so many rewards so strive towards it!! Give your life to the Lord and you will be richly blessed!
