Christmas #2
It’s 1:19 AM on Christmas morning. I am awake because I wanted to get real about some stuff and blog about it. But I typed and deleted. And typed and deleted.

Not My Babies!
Everywhere we look, in print, on the tv and in movies, we are told “If it feels good…do it.”
What about “If it IS right?” I’ve been tempted, I’ve been judged, I’ve had real temptation in my life and sometimes I resisted and sometimes I gave in. I know what it’s like to let your ‘feelings’ [...]

Change in Plans?
Well…we moved to Wyoming thinking that we would build our dream house out on our 40 acre lakeside lot. We spent 2 months choosing the site, agonizing over a plan, daydreaming, wondering about builders, what materials would withstand a blizzard or the strong Wyoming winds…

I had such mixed emotions about being [...]

What Happened….
….to my kids?!?!?
My daughters are 11 and 12 and becoming more and more smart-alecky (is that a word?) by the second. They used to be so sweet, respectful, kind. Tonight at dinner they pushed me to the edge….
We’re new here so I asked my coworkers for ideas on what to do for this long weekend [...]

Life is Happening…

The girls started school today – they are riding the bus for the first time and after putting them each on their buses I came home….and [...]

Husband…continued
I talked with hubby today and he is soooo ready to come back to Wyoming. We’re both trying to make sure that everything he needs to do gets done, and that includes getting his truck fixed – it has been known to overheat and the last thing we need is for him to break down [...]

Husband Home???
My husband is back in Washington taking care of some last minute things but his workplace let him know that he doesn’t need to be there, he just needs to call to let them know he’s alive. So….he’s thinking about coming back to Wyoming early! I’m really happy about this possibility…stressing “POSSIBILITY” because it may [...]
