I knew when I started this that I would be sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. We have been really good with money every since moving. Not to the point where we really have extra, but to the point where we could buy what we needed for life and the house and still … Continue reading Just When You Think it’s Safe

Rainy Day Blues
I have been really sluggish lately. I'm not sure if it's the amount of rain and mold we have had the past two weeks, the stress of not having things with the house in order like we wanted to by now (waiting for the rain to stop so we can do an accurate perc test … Continue reading Rainy Day Blues
Easy Like Sunday Morning
It's been almost three weeks since we have been to church. I absolutely love our church. I think it's really important to find a place to discuss what you believe in, reinforce what you believe in, have a better understanding of your beliefs, and challenge your thinking and behavior.
