More about me

A light hearted post all about me.

1) I miss my DSLR that broke. I am so sad beyond words that it broke and I don't have the money to replace it.

2) James and I have begun the process of becoming campus missionaries. Today we received our letter in the mail that said James has officially been approved from our national office to be a CMiT - campus missionary in training.

3) Most women would probably go crazy having their husbands off of work and home for 2 1/2 months but I have enjoyed it a lot and am really going to miss James when he has a regular schedule again.

4) I enjoy carbonation. I'm addicted to it in pop, not the caffeine.

5) I have been trying more cooking. I, by no means, cook as often as I should but I do enjoy searching for a recipe that sounds tasty and giving it a try. Last night, I made burgers on the grill and searched for a way to spice them up. Found a recipe where I used ground chuck, brown sugar, steak sauce, ground mustard, and garlic powder. I actually made thin patties and then stuffed white american between two of them and made cheese stuffed burger. AMAZING. So tasty.

6) Walking by faith these last few weeks with absolutely no regular, reliable income coming in has been hard but God is providing a little at a time. Now, we're trusting Him to provide for us during this internship where we have to raise our own budget through asking others for monthly support. Yikes!

7) There are certain things I'm REALLY going to miss about my current house. I love my white kitchen and nicely laid our cabinets, having a master bathroom, higher ceilings, french doors, built in china cabinet, wood ceilings, and a cute chandelier.

8) Things I'm not going to miss about my house: Ugly carpet, funky lights in the living room, tile in the master bath, not polished looking landscaping, drafty windows, unlevel floor in sun room, and my lack of a real subdivision feel.

9) My kids are funny and sweet. I'm often amazed at their little brains at work.

10) I'm ready to start this next chapter in our lives.....now.

  1. Loved your list! Are you going to sell this house or rent it out until you decide where exactly you'll end up?

    Your new burger recipe sounds yummy! I love smelling good stuff being grilled in the neighborhood.

    Congrats on being accepted as CMiT! It will be exciting to read about your experiences. :)

  2. Susanne, we're going to do either. Probably renting is our best bet to allow another year of equity to build up since the housing market crashed after we bought. :(

    and thanks!
