An Overdue Life Report

Dear Readers,

I do believe this post is long overdue. My life has been a crazy roller coaster! Since I last posted, I have had a few adventures. The best one being that the Lord has blessed me with a loving and kind husband. Not to mention handsome! Christopher and I met almost 6 years ago through a mutual friend. We quickly become good friends and kept in frequent communication. In the spring on 2019, he and his brother came down for a short visit before he left for basic training in the U.S. Army. We wrote each other weekly, although at this time we were still just friends. My father and I were able to attend his graduation later the same year and it was then we both realized there could be something more. Christopher was sent to South Korea for a year. Much happened within that year! We become dating just two weeks after he left and were married by Double Proxy in July of 2020! The Lord truly put everything together before our eyes and brought complete peace to both our parents and ourselves.

Oh, what a joyous day when Christopher arrived home! We had our wedding ceremony and celebrated the Lord's marvelous work in our lives!

We were able to take our wedding pictures at a beautiful, old church!

I have truly been blessed with some wonderful and sweet In-Laws! I was very excited to created this picture of three generations!

Although I haven't known Papa for very long, His relationship is one I have grown to cherish and enjoy!

David sure has grown into a tall young man! He sure towers over his short sisters :)

My lovely mothers

So very dashing, indeed!

Oh, how I cherish the friendship I have with these two sisters! I was so very happy to have them by my side!

My dear sister and I were only married about 1 1/2 weeks apart from each other and only wish we could have had a double wedding! How fun that would have been!

Although it has been a year of great changes, it has also been the greatest year of my life! The Lord has been so gracious, so good and kind! Our prayer is that we will glorify and honor the Lord with our marriage and we will raise our children to follow Him with all their heart!

Apple Crisp Delight

I have recently taken a sabbatical from working full-time and found joy and peace in being a full-time housekeeper for a short time. The desire to keep a consistent routine, budget, and menu is incredible. I have always struggled to plan meals and to be creative in the kitchen. Pinterest has been a great tool in helping me with great recipes. I have been trying to prepare one dessert a week. This past week, I found the best Apple Crisp recipe and I just had to share!

Life Update and Bread Making

It certainly has been a hot minute since I have been able to sit down and type a post to share with everyone. Life seems to be flying by so quickly that I can hardly keep up! We are coming to the end of our 3-year term in Virginia, and I couldn't be more ready to move! We hope to have our PCS timeline soon, but until we have more information, I have been putting more effort into my homemaking habits. Since I began working more, I haven't been able to do as much as I would like in regard to making our apartment a home. Although I keep my home in tip-top shape, I feel like I haven't had much time to do anything special. It is now 2024, and I want to put more effort into my home and family. I have put together a few resources from other homemakers to build my own personal homemakers' binder. It helps me to be able to write things down and keep things organized. I used the "Digital Yearbook of Days" from MarmeeDear ...

A Little Common Sense from Mrs. Dunwoody

"All of us carry in our hearts and minds the image of our ideal home, realized or not. It is a place where we feel we belong, a rightness, at-homeness, a knitting together of self and world...as Dear Mother used to say, "Home is the place where you can restore your mind, body, and soul." We often take our home for granted. But when we steep ourselves in our home, a deep sense of place begins to emerge...Our homes will only be generous and nurturing as the effort we invest in them. All family members will carry the atmosphere we create in our homes for the rest of their lives." A RECIPE FOR A HAPPY HOME Half a cup of friendship, and a cup of thoughtfulness, creamed together with a pinch of powered tenderness, very lightly beaten in a bowl of loyalty with a cup of faith, one of hope, and one of charity. Be sure to add a spoonful of gaiety that sings, also the ability to laugh at the little things. Moisten with sudden tears of heartfelt sympathy, bake in good-natured ...
