Accepting the Uncertainty of Military Life

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Photography

Over the past year, we’ve had a great deal of uncertainty enter our lives. With D having 2 back surgeries, we didn’t know if he’d recover enough to continue his career in the Marine Corps. The truth is, we’re still not completely certain where we stand with that as he’s still on limited duty and hasn’t fully recovered from the last back surgery. We were told we were heading to Japan as our next duty station, so we went through the process of getting ready for that only to have D denied (as expected) due to his medical situation. Now,…

My Dogs’ Crazy Obsessions

Posted in Family, and Photography

Some dogs are obsessed with bones or meat. My dogs? Well, they’re obsessed with fruits and veggies. As soon as someone starts eating an apple, they come very close and start staring. They want that apple. If they see me peeling sweet potatoes, they go crazy. I use raw sweet potatoes as treats when they need to go to their crates. (They are crated when we leave the house for their safety and the safety of our house.) Squash, lettuce, tomatoes, citrus fruit… We have yet to see a veggie or fruit they didn’t like. Another obsession which isn’t quite…

I knew the perfect place could be on the way home from church. D just laughed at me. He knows how I am about pictures. lol! We ended up taking pictures on the back side of the main library. I was trying to avoid the sun…

Up from the Grave He Arose!

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Up From the Grave He Arose by Robert Lowry, 1826-1899 Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior, waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord! Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o’er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain, and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior, vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o’er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain,…

Crockpot Chicken Parmesan

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Some days, you know that you’re just not going to have time for something like traditional gluten free baked chicken Parmesan. On those days, I made a cheater version in the slow cooker. Because I use the “dump” method for this, there isn’t a set recipe for it. I like to make extra, so we can make sandwiches the next day (or later in the week). Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Recipe Ingredients: 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 jars of marinara sauce seasoning (I generally use garlic, pepper, salt, oregano, parsley, basil.) shredded Parmesan cheese Directions: Place chicken breasts in…
