Grateful...

Have you ever noticed that in the midst of rough times and troubles that we forget all the good things that we have to be thankful for?  My head has been very full lately and I feel like I'm neglecting my thankfulness.  So I decided to make a list....Here goes!

-I have a wonderful husband, who is also my best friend.  He is always there for me and we have an awesome relationship.  I don't know what I would do without him!

-I have two beautiful girls who are healthy and happy.  The Lord is good!

-I'm a sinner saved by Grace!  With that comes the peace that God will take care of us.

-We have a job

-I have a great relationship with my parents/inlaws

-We own our own house

-I'm able to be a stay at home Mom

-I'm able to homeschool the girls

There is sooo much more, but I can see his is going to make for a super long post if I continue!  How about you?  What do you have to be thankful for???

Long overdue post...

I know its been a while.  Whoops.  Things have been a little crazy...I know you have heard that from me before!  I have been super stressed lately and havn't wanted to post anything until I was in a different state of mind.  I HATE depressing posts!  So we are just going to skip that portion.

Marissa is starting school!  My baby is starting school!  I'm in shock.  How did we get here so fast???  Thankfully she actually isn't going anywhere.  Yup, that's right.  We are doing the forbidden homeschooling option.  I had no idea how much opposition I was going to run into when we made this decision.  It doesn't really bother me and I don't really care because we are still going to do it, but I was still surprised.  Anyhow, we decided to use ACE curriculum and I have it already and have already looked it over so I know what I am doing.  Yesterday we went and got school supplies for both Marissa and Madalyn.  Madalyn has a bunch of work books that she will work on throughout the year alongside her sister.  Now that we have everything Marissa is super anxious.  She wants to start right now!  I have to admit I'm a little excited to....I have no idea why, but I am!  

Today is garden day.  I have lots to pick, blanch and freeze.  I love this time of year!  Hope you all have a great day!!!
