Faith ~ Family ~ Outdoor Living
I'm proudly married to my best friend, an active duty US Marine. I'm happily taking care of our homestead and our ever growing entourage of animals. I enjoy writing, reading, cooking, crafting, diy projects, and various outdoor activities. It's all about enjoying the journey of life with my family.

This year, Munchkin is playing on a Christian homeschool soccer league. She’s having a blast learning the game and just getting out there and playing. She has practices on Friday and games on Saturdays. The good news is that Daddy will actually be able to see a game or two before he deploys!! Her season lasts from September to November. So, we start out toasty and end up freezing (or so I’ve been told). Here are a few pictures. We Scored!!!

The truth is that this past week’s assignment left me struggling with some of the answers. Not all of the questions will be answered because I honestly try not to spend that much time on the web any more plus, I lost all of my favorites recently. The only thing that I consistently do online each day now is checking my email. Oh, we do go to One Place nightly to listen to the broadcast of Adventures in Odyssey. First place that you look for a book to buy: eBay, Amazon, book sales, paperback swap Favourite homeschool support area: local…

Thank you for the concern after yesterday’s post, but I really didn’t mean it to be a “down” post. I wasn’t even in a poor mood while writing, just reflective. We’ve been through a previous deployment over there, and we’ve been through many times of separation anywhere from days to weeks to months. This time, it’s just longer which makes it a bit more difficult. Many, many military families have been through much worse. I’m very grateful for all the times that D has been with us. I’m also grateful for all of the men that are going with my…
