A Day to Remember

Once upon a time...3 years ago to be exact... there was a guy who thought today would be a good day to begin the rest of his life. However, that life was not meant to be spent alone... Therefore, he would select a helpmate to begin his journey alongside of him. So without informing his bride-to-be, he drove 4 hours to a beloved place called Rustproof (the place they met). Once he got there, he had to hide so no one else would see him. He had a special surprise in mind. His clever friends helped him set up the theme for the night. It was all about discerning God's voice. Our wonderful friend, Jenny, decided to see who would volunteer for a little example. Even though the soon-to-be helpmate didn't volunteer, she was elected to wear the blindfold. A little nervous because she had just been gone for 9 months...she knew she had to make an attempt to try and discern whose voice she was about to hear. With her blindfold on she heard an ever-so-familiar voice declaring his love for her. Her heart was a pitter-pattering... As he knelt in front of her, wooing her with his words and ring in hand, he asked her to marry him.

That was the beginning of the rest of our lives! It's amazing to think that it's already been 3 years since that day! I sure am glad we were able to discern the voice of God!

The Little Things In Life

Today I went to check out the little raspberry patch we have hidden behind our garage. To my surprise, it was filled with juicy, red raspberries. So, I clipped and pruned this little raspberry jungle and found not just a few but many of these little treasures.

Sometimes we have to take the time to enjoy the little things in life and not just let them pass by. When we bought the house, there was still snow on the ground. I thought that there was just a jungle of weeds growing behind the garage until one day the neighbor informed us that someday that jungle would bear fruit.

When all we have to hold onto are the little things, we can't take them for granted. God is gracious.

Wondering What We've Been Up To???

The risks are high, but the rewards.... (well, what of them?)...

If you can flip that house!

So, here's to flippin'!

A classic red door.

My handy-man husband put in some brand new ceramic tile. Looks good, huh!?

Curb appeal.

A little more curb appeal.

Well, being laid off has it's benefits and downfalls. The downfall being no job= no money. However, no job also means you have lots of time to do whatever you want. For me, that means fixing up our house (painting, planting flowers, cleaning, and so on). My loving husband even took a couple of days off this week to help make-over the house.

There it is... now you know what we've been up.

For Sale

Beautiful, beloved 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom colonial home.

It's been a blessing while we've had it, but now it's time to part. And miss it, I will.

Desperado!

Remember this post?....

Well, now it's serious...

It's a.......

We had a rather entertaining time yesterday watching our little one flip around while being pushed and prodded by the Ultrasound Tech. Rob seems to think that she must have missed a certain appendage, but she actually got a pretty clear view. Now it's time to prepare (to continue to outnumber the only man in the house)!

And Running...And Running...

Somebody's gotta stop this guy! He's outta control! I've even heard him talk about next year's marathon already....
