House Hunting

Finding a house for our family with our tight budget is proving difficult. I guess I will have to sell my liver. I know the Lord knows our needs & well help us. I know he is preparing the way for us. We just have to be righteous enough to find it.

16th Wedding Anniversary

It is hard to believe we have married 16 years!  They have been amazing, beautiful, wonderful years!  I love my sweet Jaremy so much! Life is so crazy lately!  Ever since we've had eight kids & moved there it's hardly time to breathe.  Tonight we were supposed to have a romantic date, but it turned into a family evening running every which way.  I love my kids a ton! I love being with them! But I just need a break and some couple time once in a while. We don't have time for winks or cuddling or even an evening out on our anniversary. This is ridiculous! Our priorities our out of whack!  I am going to reign this problem in starting now!

A Love That Multiplies

I just finished reading the Duggar's book, "A Love That Multiplies." It was full of great tips and insights. Most importantly it inspired me to turn even more of my life over to Heavenly Father, to pray more earnestly and specifically, and to speak more of Christ with my children. It inspired me to step up and be a better example for my children, to answer softly when angry, and to love more fully. I'm grateful for this wonderful family and their dedication to God and each other. I'm a better person because of trying to follow their example.

Different Kind of Education

I love how the kids have enough time to get sleep & they aren't stressed out of their minds. We go our own pace. We are reading Tale of Two Cities. We watch documentaries on everything. We discuss everything! We go on tons of field trips. We learn to use new tech. I hope we are giving our kids an education that will lead to their being able to raise and care for wonderful families of their own & be an influence for good on the world.
