The Getaway
Since having children, we have often sought advice from other, older married couples in our church on what their secret for a great marriage is. Many times they tell us it is important for parents to keep their marriage healthy and in order to do that we must make it a priority to get away together a couple of times a year (at least). A hea [...]
My Cup Runeth Over
I do not mean to be redundant or annoying, but sometimes something is in your face and you just can’t help but appreciate it. This week it happens to be witnessing the love our family has for each other and how well we know each other. I cannot say that ‘gift giving/receiving” is my main love language….but I sure do [...]
My Life Long Covenant to My Valentine...
I love being married.
Let me clarify, I love being married to Kip, my husband for nearly 16 years.
The best years of our marriage began, not surprisingly, once we welcomed our God into our marriage. Is it always perfect? Absolutely not, but we now have all of the tools we need to make it through all of the difficult times.

Fifteen Years of Marriage
Today is a very special day for Kip and I. Fifteen years ago today, we went before God and committed ourselves to each other. It is hard for us to believe that it was really 15 years ago. Time does fly when you are having fun.
What a precious and delicate thing; Marriage.
We have surely had our difficult times (who doesn’t) but we a [...]

The other life lesson that I have always be [...]
Many May Blessings
Some days when you think you just cannot make it through the day, life gives you a reality check.
1. I am so grateful that my children have chosen good, respectful friends at school.
2. I am equally grateful that they have had great teachers this year.
3. I am blessed beyond belief for the husband that I have, who loves us and provides for [...]
Don’t Fear the 3:00AM Monsters
Everything is so magnified and dramatic when you are tired, half asleep and the sun is not out, isn’t it? I am convinced this is when Stephen King gets his best material for a new book.
Well, I had one of those mornings this morning.
It all started last night as we were getting ready for bed. Our ‘letting the dogs out one last t [...]
My Valentine
I would like to preface this with I am NOT spoiled but LOVED!!!
My dear, sweet Valentine bought me the project desk I have wanted for so long. (Seriously – it would be silly not to!) My amazing patience (he he) paid off…well…it really did!!! I watched this desk for m-o-n-t-h-s, I watched it go down to 30% off and then jus [...]
