Back on Track

I'm LOVING this new year ...

Life seems so "back to normal" right now
  • no more classes (it's AMAZING how many hours that took up of my life; I learned A TON and I use what I learned all the time at work, but I am soooo glad that's over).


  • I have so much more time to dedicate to our home and it feels soooo good to be organized. When I get home I'll add a pic of our chore chart and weekly menu. It feels awesome to be on top of things.













  • I have so much more time to spend with God (after the kids go to bed), and I got a great idea from Beth Moore (I just started this study) to journal in the first person every day about what God has shown me that day. I really like it. So many times I've tried to remember things that God has shown me/told me, and I can't remember the details or the time period. This will really help with that. I'm also enjoying reading the one year bible online. I love choosing different versions depending on my mood. Sometimes I even choose French. Keeps it fresh :)



  • it feels really good to get back to my crafts--currently quilting (my "girlie" quilt for me), and scrapbooking (paper-scrapping our "cross-country" trip from August 2008).

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
