gotta love him!!!

doesn't this just about melt your heart???? i love this man of mine. princess had a small 2nd grade award ceremony today at school. she knows i go to most of those things, but last night she let me know i wouldn't need to come because she had invited daddy instead. well, okay then. and guess what?? he went:)

here we just look cute....it had been awhile since he'd pulled off a surprise, but fiddler on the roof might be one of the best!!!

here he is proving to us that an eagle flew over his head on our little hill. okay, dear! i will say it was a rather large bird unlike any others we see perched in that faraway tree. you can tell what i prefer to watch though:) i just find him cute!



it takes a great dad to head out in the freezing temps to teach his princess how to ice skate on our icy lane. i stepped out long enough to take the picture!

this man of mine....i love how hard he works for us. i love that he makes time for his kiddos. i love that most nights we spend the evenings together. i love that he lets me pop in while he is working just so i can give him yet another kiss. i love that he never complains about my meals. i love that he talks to our dog and watches for birds and shares it all with enthusiasm.

i love this man of mine!!!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
