2 years...it's been 2 years since I've updated this blog.


A lot has happened in that time...


My writing style has changed and gotten rusty, as you will soon be able to tell.


Here is a list of things I have noticed lately:


-food tastes different
-music has taken a nosedive
-friends take on a new form
-kids are funny
-men are crazy (but also funny)
-youth is fleeting
-hard work doesn't always work


lets see, food tastes different...
Lately when I have chicken or pork it has this taste that I can't put my finger on but can wholly say that I do not enjoy.
At first it happened when I was having a chicken pasta salad, which includes cold chicken, and the taste was far from enjoyable. So I just assumed it was the cold chicken throwing me off...but it wasn't. I had chicken again a few days later and it again had that taste, and I lost my appetite.
As a kid, I always preferred sausage as a breakfast meat option but lately the taste of pork is almost repulsive.


Perhaps my body is becoming vegan by choice.
or maybe it's hormones, that's the reason for all a women's issues right?
it's always our crazy hormones!


sheesh.

Hey look!


That's my family, all 5 of us!
Our church had this little photo booth set up.


Nothing makes me happier than these guys right here.
We laugh together, grow together, and love each other so much.


I think the best part is having a strong solid relationship with each of them.


A few years ago if you asked, "who is the strongest spiritually in your family?"
I would brag and boast about how it's me...
but oh how the tides have turned.


Bob is a remarkable man.
He loves us, and he LOVES God.
He is committed to raising our kids in a way that pleases God.
and he is committed to God.


He definitely makes me a better woman.
I'm proud to be alongside him
and as weird as this may sound...
I am happy submitting to him, knowing as I follow him, he follows Christ.


here we are at the end of 2015, and life is good!
