Here's to new beginnings.



So, my husband has been telling me for a while I ought to start a blog. I always translated that husband speak to say that he appreciates the things I do, and thinks I’m worthwhile and valuable. I like that. But when something is said over and over at some point you’ve got to take the suggestion as literal and sincere. That’s how I got here, I am heeding his advice. 

Who am I? Before all else, I am a daughter of the Most High King, I follow Christ and desire most of all to be more like Him in all things. I am a wife, we have been married for 9 ½ years. I adore my husband, Josh; I love him more each day. There are many stories and quite the journey to get where we are. (Isn’t that always so in any relation that has lasted for some time?) I will save the stories of the journey for another day. I am a mother. I have a 10 year old, Hannah, who lights up my life. She is bright and quirky, and much like me, yet so different. 

 If were to ask me what I do, I would probably stutter and stammer and come up with very little to say for myself, when in fact I am quite busy most of the time.  I enjoy cooking; I get bored easily, so I try to offer a wide variety to my family. This is actually selfish, though, it’s to entertain my boredom with food. And I say I like to make a variety but at the same time I go through periods were I will make the same thing over and over, like hot wings for example. Speaking of food, I eat Paleo. I started it because I needed to change what I cooked for my daughter since she cannot tolerate gluten. However, I lost a LOT of weight and really do enjoy eating this way. I do a lot of other things, too. I do in home day care for an incredibly smart and spunky three year old. I am into all kinds of crafts and sewing. The problem is, though, I have horrible follow-through. So, let’s be honest, if I put crafts on here it will be inconsistent at best. 

Given my terrible follow-through, it's hard saying how much I will add to this blog. I'm not keeping high hopes in myself but maybe I will surprise us all.
