Heading Home

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Today is our last day camping. We’ve had a wonderful time camping; a much needed rest period has been a blessing. Tomorrow, we’ll be heading to our new house to start making it into a home. We’ll all be happy to have internet access again. I have a new found appreciation to those who do not have internet access at their homes. I didn’t realize how much we use the internet until we were without for nearly a month. Today, we’re wrapping up all the little things that we need to do before we leave the area (returning library books,…

Camping

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

We’re having a lovely time camping even though D is still working. It’s nice to have the break from all of the craziness. We’ve decided to spend Mother’s Day camping and then we’ll head to the new house. We all decided that it was the only way we would end up relaxing as that would not be possible at the new house (yet). I miss reading my emails and everyone’s blogs, but we’re enjoying this down time. Munchkin is having a ball riding her bike all over the campground. The quiet nature is wonderful. There aren’t very many people camping…

Small Changes for a Better Life Review

Posted in Reviews, and Thoughts

I recently started reading books by Elizabeth George. I started off with her book Small Changes for a Better Life since it was available from our local library.

At the end of the chapters, she broke down the ways to implement these changes into things to do today, things to do this week, and things to do this month. She has a wonderful way of making one think about how things changes will help better your relationship with Christ, your…

Another Update

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Wow! I can’t believe how long it has been since I’ve been on the blog. Yikes!! I miss my internet access… We’re at the new house this weekend as we made our final trip down with the rest of our things. We’re trying to sort things out for now, and the unpacking will take place later. We’ll be here until Monday morning, so I’ll have internet for the weekend!!! We’ll be heading to the campground on Tuesday morning. I’m looking forward to the relaxation for sure. We won’t have internet at that time either. D graduates on the 10th, then…

Unexpected Blogging Break

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Our modem died, so I will be taking an unexpected blogging break. I’m not sure how long I’ll be off. I’ll update as I’m able. Our move went well even though there were a few glitches. We at the old house right now doing some cleaning and painting. We’re staying in our trailer while we do this. We’ll be heading over to a campground on May 1st. We’ll be camping until the 11th when we head down to the new house for good as a family. Today, munchkin is celebrating her 8th birthday!!! The two of us went out for…
