This is day 3 with the movers here. Tomorrow is the last day, then we have a party to go to and then a final cleaning. Once that's done, we fly to Hawaii. From Hawaii, after we spend a few days there, we fly on to our new home. I'm not doing the move out … Continue reading Moving Week

L’s Last Day
The movers come to start packing our house tomorrow, so L's last day with us is today. Her coordinator will be picking her up today. Having an exchange student has been a wonderful cultural experience, and L has become family to us. We wanted to take her out for a nice lunch, but the car … Continue reading L’s Last Day
Busy Day
I got up at 5 to drive to another city to drop the car off for shipping. It didn't take that long to get there, but driving on the highway makes me nervous, and if I'd left at the appropriate time, I would have hit traffic. So I left while it was dark. Since I … Continue reading Busy Day
I Belong to My Husband
Can I just say that a traditional marriage is immensely sexy and fulfilling? There is something so powerful about a man who takes charge. Submission is spoken about by feminists and egalitarians like it's slavery. It's treated like a dirty word. But both men and women are more likely to be happy and satisfied in … Continue reading I Belong to My Husband
Laundry Day
I have so much laundry to do today! For a while, the washing machine quit working after the power flickered, which slowed me down. But I'm determined to get another load done, maybe two, before my husband gets home. Everything is wet and gray. I can't wait to move. I am so ready to be … Continue reading Laundry Day
Prayer
I don't know about you, dear reader, but I need a better prayer life. We often think of praying as something you do alone, down on your knees or lying in bed. But if you only pray when you're in one of those two positions, you will not pray enough. After all, life is busy. … Continue reading Prayer

Today I woke up to a wonderful gift, we watched church, and then we got pizza for lunch. After that, we tie dyed … Continue reading Wonderful Weekend
Tea, Digital Art, New Dish
Tomorrow, Mother's Day weekend begins. A is having a Mother's Day tea at her school tomorrow. I'm nervous. Today, I've been sick, and my mood has been changing. I'm very exhausted. But I don't want to miss the tea, so I will be going (unless she's sick in the morning). Speaking of feeling bad, A … Continue reading Tea, Digital Art, New Dish
Busy Weekend
My inlaws arrived for the weekend last night. We went out to a Greek/Italian restaurant. Then today we took the girls to the mall. L got to use her birthday gift certificate at Sephora. Then we went to Target. After that, we grabbed crepes for lunch. Tomorrow is church, and then the girls will go … Continue reading Busy Weekend
