Wow, I didn’t realize that it had been so long since I blogged last.  For that first week off, I didn’t seem to have too much to say.  Then DH switched work schedules so he’s on day shift now, plus he’s taking distance learning classes.  That means when he is home in the evening, he’s got [...]

Unfortunately, I am completely ill-equipped for [...]

One of my favorite names for God found in the Bible is Jehovah Jireh.  It means God Provides, and I have never found Him to be otherwise than a magnificent provider. 
When we found out we were expecting another child, I realized that by this point, some baby things are needing replacement.  Mainly we were in need of [...]

Dh and I have been with the Army for a few years now, and we have had the chance to live in a couple of very desirable locations, namely Monterey, CA and Hawaii.  We’ve met people from China, Germany, England, Korea, Japan, Louisianna, Rhode Island, and a whole slew of Texans.  It has been a [...]

I received an email today with the winners of this year's Picture of the Year International awards.  First and second place were given to Todd Heisler for pictures he took while doing photography for a special report for the Rocky Mountain News.

A Chance to Serve

Posted in Army Life, Humble Helpmeet on April 11, 2006 | 1 Comment »

Today my husband sprained his ankle doing PT (that's army for "exercising").  He'll be on crutches for a week, and so I have a great opportunity to serve him.  I'll admit, that wasn't my first thought.  My first thoughts went along the lines of "Oh, great.  Extra work for me and no extra set of [...]
