About Me

Why a simple kind of life? Well, thats what my husband and I are trying to instill in our family. We are Christians and living a simple life is what God wants for us. I say trying because that is what we are doing. We need to keep that in the forefront of our minds as we go through all the crazy yet unforgettable days a family of four goes through. Life is very busy with a smart and inquisitive four yearold, active, curious, funny 2 1/2 year old and a new baby. As teachers, we enjoy our summers off with our children spending time at the beach, boating or just in our backyard relaxing. We know what and Who is important in this life, but we also can admit that we do enjoy things that don’t really matter like reality TV, good food and my weakness, shopping. All in all its all about balance and keeping God first.

My love for Christmas vacation.

This love affair probably began when I was in elementary school.  The thought of getting a week off from school at Christmas time....it couldn't get better than that.  The week full of family, friends, playing with new toys, sledding or making snowmen, eating great food, staying up late and so on.....  I still love Christmas vacation because of some of the same things.  Playing with my kids, waking up late, cuddling in bed with the kids, watching movies at night, spending time with our families and of course celebrating Jesus's birth.  Thanking Him for giving us life and saving us.  In this fallen world I praise my Savior.  He lived a perfect life to show us how to live.  Then died on the cross for the sins of the world only so we can be saved and have eternal life with Him in heaven.  He loves me more than I can ever love anyone and that just blows my mind.  I am so thankful for Him and his grace that he has given me freely.  Thank you Jesus.

Peace, Joy and Love fills our home this holiday season and I pray that it fills yours.

I need to get this blog printed.  The whole reason I do it is so my children will have it when they are older.  Happy Holidays!
