Sunday Snapshot: 28 days

I missed those big feet. And everything that’s connected to ’em. He got home late last night. After being away for 28 days. 28 loooong days that he’s been in Birmingham, at his new job at Lifeline. Yeah, he’s been gone for all the sickness, craziness, and heartbreak of the last few weeks. I didn’t say anything here because, well…… Read More

Sunday Snapshot: {the job}

Y’all did such a great job trying to guess what Chris’ new job is. And I now have the green light to share. Soooooo, y’all ready? Chris will be Manager of International Programs at Lifeline. Yep, that Lifeline. My hardworking, orphan-loving man will get to use his time, talent and resources to help the fatherless around the world. We are… Read More

a change of plans

Oh my goodness, y’all. So much good stuff going on. As y’all know, my man retired from the military last fall. He recently began a new job in the new field in which he wanted to work, and things were humming along. Okay, he was working crazy long hours and was completely exhausted (which, if you know the energy and… Read More

my guy. an update.

my guy. an update.

I shared a few weeks ago about my guy. And his current state of jobless-ness. Well, we got an answer back from his most recent interview, and the answer was a yes. Woohooo! But not a final yes. A yes-you’re-into-the-next-interview sort of yes. So we continue to wait and trust in the Lord. God has shown up in so many… Read More

my guy

my guy

… is going on a really big job interview today. He’s already been through an initial interview and a phone interview. Today is his face-to-face interview. Oy. This interview could possibly result in a dream job for him… but the chances of him actually getting this gig are pretty slim. Like 0.1%. Because, evidently, there are a whole lot of… Read More

disclaimer: I am a Christ-following, stay-at-home mama. So, it would naturally follow that this post is written from the perspective of a Christ-following, stay-at-home mama. My goal here is to encourage, and to help others who are struggling. This is simply my opinion, from lessons I’ve learned on this journey called life. I am not a professional, nor do I… Read More

if I can, you can.

I blog. I don’t speak. Speaking is just not my gift. Blogging isn’t really either, but at least I can do that in the privacy of my own home, propped up on my comfy couch, wearing paint-stained sweats and socks with a hole in the toe. I can write, delete, and backspace all day. And the end result is, generally,… Read More

Sunday Snapshot: {Saturday Night Special}

I love Saturdays. For lots of reasons. But the biggest one? My husband is home. Ahhhhhhh. And on Saturdays, only on Saturdays, he has time to make my very favorite meal. Chicken Fried Steak, where have you been all my life? Of course, I could make it myself. But why? He makes it so much better than I. And all… Read More

howdy, red!

howdy, red!

I said I’d post pictures. And y’all are really holding me to it. Thank you for that. First off, I want to mention that this is, most likely, not my natural hue. But since neither my stylist nor me are quite sure what my natural hue is, we just went for it. I told her to hit me with the… Read More

Sunday Snapshot: {fini flight}

My man likes a lot of things. But he loves only a few. First of all he loves the Lord. He loves me. He loves his family. And he loves to fly. He will be the first to tell you, he’s been infinitely blessed to be able to do something he loves for a living. Which in turn, blesses me…. Read More
