changes....


so if you follow this at all, you will know that i've talked a lot recently about my family experiencing change. today the journey began....


hubby quit his job, effective august 1. like as in 2 weeks! wowzers huh!! now most of you are probably assuming i'm going to follow this with what the new job is, but well, there isn't one! funny....i'm sure some people think this is absolutely crazy. we think it is absolutely right. and from those we've talked with they agree. there is a sense of fear and worry, i mean, i work and make a little, but we kinda need more than that. but the call to obey is far greater. and the joy and peace in that obedience is even greater.


i don't know what the next several months will look like. different than what i expected a few months ago for sure. hubby and i will get to spend all sorts of time together. he'll be looking for different opportunities, the kiddos will be in school all day, and i'll be working from home and at home. hmm...i think it will take some getting used to, but i may just find i like having him around alot - or he might not be around much at all. who knows!!!


so we are walking in faith here. it has been a walk already, but we both feel good. there is some excitement. the plan is to venture out on his own in some fashion. the plan is for hubby to live his dreams and passions. he is a very talented man with a lot of wisdom and interests and skills....


and so the journey begins....

Congratulations! It feels like jumping out of an airplane, doesn't it? Don't worry, you have a parachute...it's called God and He will set you down gently exactly where He wants you.

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....
