9 years ago

do any of you remember what you were doing 9 years ago today? what was the significance of that day? was there any??? this is what i was doing 9 years ago today...

...i awoke bright and early to a phone call from my best friend who was spending a year in poland as a missionary. she called that morning b/c we were both sad nothing could be worked out for her to be home that day.

...i had several friends in town visiting and hanging out with me

...my dad had spent the day before washing my car and the great little yellow bug convertable he had then(i love that about him!)

...i actually had a manicure and my hair done that day!! can you believe i had those things done???

...i ate a yummy breakfast of yummy muffins from where i worked -the old worlde cup

...i then put on this beautiful dress and had my pictures taken

...then i got to walk down the aisle and see my future husband waiting for me!!!

...then we actually let his brother marry us

...then God had blessed that oct. 24 with sunshine and 70 degree weather for a beautiful party in our local park's conservation clubhouse

...then of course we ate some cake, took some more pictures, and tried to visit with as many friends and family as possible

...next...we were off to indianapolis and i'll spare you those details!!

and 9 years later i sit at the computer in workout clothes with a cup of fat free yogurt, one child off to school, a dog on the couch, another child singing songs and playing ball, and a mountain of things to get done so that tomorrow morning my incredible hubby can once again whisk me away for a weekend far away from home, kids, responsibility, phones...

most importantly...9 years later i love this man even more and God has most definitely blessed us beyond our comprehension!!!

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...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
