The Job My Father Missed Out On – a Story About God and Waiting

When I was in 5th grade, my father retired from the military. We lived in a small town I loved, and my friends were there who I wanted to go to middle school with. I was broken hearted about having to leave housing and move. Then my father was told about a job locally that … Continue reading The Job My Father Missed Out On – a Story About God and Waiting

Trying to Get on My Feet

I spent too much time laying down this morning. Mentally I am not great. But I have since gotten back up. I've been cleaning baseboards. To do it, I've been using my orange duster. Honestly the constant bending makes me sore. I want a longer duster that I can stay up right with when I … Continue reading Trying to Get on My Feet

Change Over The Years

It's weird to think about, but when my husband and I first married we were egalitarian. I submitted to no one. My husband and I were equal in all decisions. I cleaned, but I didn't do any cooking. I was immodest. I was obsessed with college and longed to go to grad school like I … Continue reading Change Over The Years

Working on Modesty and Purity of Heart

My husband doesn't like me to wear revealing clothes and wants me to have a modest look. Some husbands like to show their wives off, but my husband takes more of the stance that I am his, and no other guys should see anything. In a way, I really like this. I don't have to … Continue reading Working on Modesty and Purity of Heart

My Husband Is Home!

Last night, my husband came home around 1 am. We have mostly been having a slow day at home for him to rest. Currently, I've got his favorite chicken dish cooking in the crock pot. This week I plan to make chicken enchiladas. I hope it goes well. I've gathered up and organized my scrapbooking … Continue reading My Husband Is Home!

A Little Organization/Update

My husband left for a conference in Europe yesterday morning. My father in law is kindly staying with my daughter and I. We went out to the art store, and I bought this rolling cart. My FIL assembled it for me. Tools and building things just aren't in my feminine repertoire. The purpose is to … Continue reading A Little Organization/Update

My Portable Life

I wrote about this on my Instagram, but I want to write more about it here. I have made a portable life. Scrapbooking, writing, art, reading, etc. can be done anywhere. I have to move, on average, every two years or so. Having things I love that can be done anywhere enables me to have … Continue reading My Portable Life
