Whassup?

Hello all!  What's new? We've been a little busy around here. . .




This is what we did after the busiest Easter Sunday service and luncheon ever. You're never too old or too young to enjoy some driveway chalk hopscotch!











And then there was this. . .
We thoroughly enjoyed the $20 seats that came with a hot dog, a drink and a free hat!  Supermom didn't think to bring any sunscreen - but the smart mom with a big "mom bag" in the row in front of us shared.  Too bad the Astros lost!

And of course, you can't leave out this. . .




A much needed date night out at Kemah with some great friends! Who are those two smiling, free-spirited people? We had to "breathe in the smell of relaxation" after we parked the car.  We've been a little wound up!










We've done some exciting things. . .
while The Hubs was away at a conference. Supermom took the kids to Chuck E Cheese and won the "Best Mom Ever" award for bringing some coupons that landed us with 100 tokens (oh the crazy amount of tickets and shopping for junk that ensued).

We've celebrated some firsts. . .
a precious time in every young boy's life!  I don't know why we waited so long!

And in the midst of the busyness, we've taken some time to revel in a Saturday with no plans (except for the poor Hubs who planned a work day at the church). . .

So, that's what we've been doing. . . keeping our heads up and remembering that "No, despite all these things (the busyness of life) overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us." Romans 8:37

Closing out the year 2024

New Year's Eve. . . the end of a year that makes you reflect back on the last 365 days. Most of us are looking forward to the new year and some of us are looking back and wondering where it went! What happened to 2024?! What do we even have to show for it but some bumps and bruises? It's been a wild ride, ya'll!  But reflection is a good thing, right? Taking time to skim over the year and look for highlights and lowlights and facing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements - these are important things to do. So what were some of my wins and losses? What a great year! Celebrated 1 year of working for the church Traveled internationally with hubby several times Started year 2 of our ministry school Got a dog (a BIG dog) Graduated a kid from Bible School Started a kid at a private school (step of faith) What a tough year! Experienced a flood of sorts at the church (broken pipe) Got banned from entering a country Got a dog (a BIG dog) Moved adult kid back home (pare...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I wrote a blog. Posts were few and far between at best. I was working 40+ hours a week at a job. There were 3 children at home with various activities and none were driving so taxiing was my side hustle (unpaid, grueling hours). The Hubs was working 50-60 hours a week pioneering a church and starting a side business. So much has changed since the last post, that I contemplated scrapping it all and starting fresh.  Or should I?   Always a challenge to get all my words out, I hesitate to even write this one. But I will provide a catch-up for history's sake... Kid #1 is graduated and trying to be a grown-up on his own in a different city.  College courses, which are mostly online because of the big 'C', working almost full time and a girlfriend keep him pretty busy, but not too busy to call his mama every few days.  Especially when the bank account is low.  Kid #2 is finishing up his last year of high school and living hi...

Stupid is as stupid does

Ok, so have you ever had one of those days where things are just messed up?  That was me today. I stayed up too late last night so it was hard to get up this morning.  Had to be at work for an 8:00 meeting and caught EVERY red light between my neighborhood and work.  No big deal, they weren't ready to start when I walked in (with my supervisor) at 8:05.  But, in order to get there even close to 8:00, I skipped making a stop at the gas station to fill up.  I did the math all the way to work - when did the light come on? How many miles had I gone since then?  After work, I planned to stop at the nearest gas station - but, you guessed it, I didn't make it.  Nothing like running out of gas in rush hour traffic! I sat there, embarrassed, trying not to look at the people glaring at me as they passed me - I was stopped just shy of a major intersection.  The Hubs was close by so he came to my rescue - but my car keeps the radio and lights running for 10 m...
