about a year ago...

...my hubby left his job! and a year ago, while totally supportive and completely thrilled to have him no longer employed where he was, i was a total wreck about him sitting in my space! oh yeah...it was quite the issue. but after a few short months we got into a groove and i love having my hubby home!

this has been an amazing year. honestly, i expected some trials. some times of doubt. i'm not sure why, we were both so sure this was what God was calling us too, but i guess even in that assurance there was room for doubt. but God has been so good and faithful and so real. imagine that?

so i love my hubby, i've established that several times...and in honor of his one year he wanted to have a big party. then changed his mind to something a little later in the season. but we found ourselves childless on that monday evening and i hinted at wanting an old-fashioned date! i didn't say much other than - just a good old fashioned date that we didn't have to come home at a certain time and weren't running errands!

have i said i love this guy? i headed up to his office (currently located about 1 foot from our bed!) and he said if we left at 4:30 we could grab dinner at panera, catch either the proposal or public enemy, and grab some coffee! woo hoo!! this is my man!

so we got ready and took off. i love panera and enjoyed sitting across from my amazing man. on our way to the theater, he asked which i wanted to see. now, honestly, i've wanted to see both. part of me was ready to just give into public enemy - which like i said, i know i'd love, but then the giddy girl on a date popped up and said the proposal!! he smiled and off we went!

it really was a good movie. hubby thinks someone always dies in romantic comedies but noone died here. just good love story....after coffee we headed to lowes. not really sure what we were going to lowes for, i just giggled. i was still alittle giddy. so once inside he headed to the plant section. after recently reading that you should have a house plant for every 100 sq feet of house he went wild and we now have plenty of interesting plants. one in each room!

so, a year has passed, and i'm thankful that i still love my husband, that we have grown even closer together, and well, that when i need to run to the grocery store - the kids can stay home with him!

honestly, i had no idea where this year would take us, but i'm so glad we hopped on for the ride!

i plan on having a one year post in a year...ha...a year from when we moved....you have inspired me. it's amazing how God provides even the little details when we jump on board. i am seeing that almost daily right now. i know He will take care of us as He has cared for you. our situations are different but both involve big change. thanks for your post! love 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....
