One of the things that first struck me when the hubs and I visited Missouri for the first time was incredible amount of parks ~ 2 large parks, 1 water park and a series of smaller community parks. Not only were there a lot of parks but just about every square inch was covered with…
Crazy Days of Summer: Blue Skies
Welcome to the final edition of the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge! I just found out that I was mistaken, there’s one more week left. Yay! So be prepared to read this exact same post next week but with different pictures… I’ve enjoyed this challenge so much. Seeing the pictures that others have taken,…
You Can’t Run from God, Not Even in Walmart
When we found out that we were moving to Missouri, the hubs and I decided that this would be an opportunity for us to start over and create new lives as individuals, as a couple and as a family. One of the biggest changes that we wanted to make was attending church on a regular…
Things Happened While I Was Disconnected
So much has happened in the last week and a half that I’ve been disconnected. Most of it’s been good, some of it’s been bad and the rest has been seriously? I had planned to write out a post for each and every thing that happened but decided against it. You know, for my own…
Getting to Know Cape Girardeau/Jackson
Wow, so I didn’t go without the interwebs as long as I thought I would. Thank you, Comfort Suites, for the use of your internet service. We truly appreciate it. The kids and I thought we’d have to go at least a week or so without being connected, I don’t know what decade we think…
Steaming Along
I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I feel like the Little Engine that Could. I’m being pushed, pulled and dragged by steam and faith alone. Tonight is our last night at my parents’ house and I’m feeling so many mixed emotions. I’m excited to be beginning our new lives…
House Hunting, What are Our Priorities Again?
A few weeks ago, the hubs and I went to Missouri on what the company calls a “predetermination trip”, which basically means that we went to the area and checked it out before the hubs accepted the position. We were in the Cape Girardeau/Jackson area and absolutely fell in love. Never have I seen a…
Congratulations to the Newest P&G Manager {In the Family Room}
Today the hubs is officially a manager at Proctor & Gamble. And the kids and I couldn’t be prouder of him and his accomplishments. When the hubs and I got out of the Army 15 years ago, we didn’t know what we were going to do or how we were going to support ourselves, the…
There’s No Place Like Home
Oh, Dorothy, truer words have never been spoken… We finally made it home at 9:45 last night. To read the beginning of this journey, go here, I’ll wait… Well, no, we made it to Wilkes~Barre, Pennsylvania at 9:45, we didn’t make it to our house until after 10:30. Yes, a journey that started at 6…
Oh the Places We Won’t Go
If you follow me on Facebook, you know that the hubs and I have been having a heck of a time getting back home to Pennsylvania… Right now, as I type this, we are stuck in the inner thigh of airports ~ Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. I know, right? Look at me blogging from the…
