Delish.

Today was a good day.

You see I had a date..not with my husband.

With my new best friend..I am head-over-heals- [in love] with this guy.

So much that yes, I [named] him.

Fred.

We had a great time in the kitchen today..he helped me bake some absolutely delicious items.

 Banana Choc. and Butterscotch Chip Bread
Which I cut up and only left two pieces for KJ and I.
I'm freezing the rest so I don't gain 15 pounds in the next two days.

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

{YUM}

I also made supper.

It was a great day in the kitchen.

Now all I have to do is wait for the hubby, kiss his handsome face, {do the dishes}, and snuggle the night away with my man.

It is a beautiful day. One that I hope to always remember. The perfect fall day..my house smells of cinnamon, all the windows are open, and I'm running around the house with my hair up and my leggings on.

What could be better?

Now, for those of you that don't know me very well, this might seem like no [big] deal. BUT for those of you that do, you are probably wondering when the miracle happened. Can you believe it..I actually baked today.

I'm pretty proud of myself.

Since I'm on this amazing baking high I'm going to go clean my kitchen, and finish picking up the house before Kj walks in and almost faints because he notices that I actually..  baked.

Help.

Ok..I need EVERYONE'S help! I need a new name for my blog..One that I can keep for awhile. I need ideas...will you help me??


:)

Beautiful Day.

Today is a [coffee-drinking-laundry-doing-over-whelming] beautiful day.

I have a headache. No, my head feels like a jackhammer is living inside of it.

My husband is at work on his day off, and I have lots to do.

On the other hand..I will choose to be thankful, open up my windows, [take an Advil, or two]

and let the sunshine peer through my house.

I will praise God for His redeeming grace, and even though this brain is throbbing, I will praise Him for a brain that works.

I will love deeply, smile at the little things, and thank God for what He has given me. I will praise Him for giving me a man that works so hard for his family, and even though its a job he hates..It is a job.

You see,

that's the kind of day I will have.

On a different note, I got to watch one of the cutest girls around..

See for yourself.

Happy Friday everyone..enjoy your weekend!
We will always see the negative in our lives..BUT can you stop and see all the positive as well?

Count your blessings, we serve an awesome God.
I'm sure He has big things in store for you!

Wednesdays Full of Wisdom : Helpmate.

This past month has been such a whirlwind.

"And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an help mate for him..And the Lord God

caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam..

and he took one of his ribs..and the rib,

which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman,

and brought her unto the man"
Gen. 2:18; 21-22

I am created to be a help mate.

I am created to be his help mate.

Since getting married

I have had the best days, 

and the hardest days 

of my entire life.

Really, nothing compares

to the joys and hardships

these last few weeks have brought.
Nothing horrible has happened, 

but just simply the change of sharing 

my life with someone else is hard enough.
I am desperately in love with my husband

and know so strongly that besides my

relationship with Christ he is the best part of my life.

I have been so honored to be his wife, but learning

how to be his wife is a different story.
It's the little things you never think of....

how we fold our clothes
how we do the dishes
(KJ likes the dishes piled on the counter, I like them in the sink)

how we get ready for the day

how we SLEEP

There are so many little things that you have to learn about the person
that when you pile all of those up, it can feel so overwhelming.
Now, NONE of these things really 

matter in the big picture, but in the day to day life..they can seem huge.

I've been trying pray daily on how to be a better wife to my husband.

How can I make his day better?
How can I encourage him? 

How can I respect him? How can I love him.
This is the lesson that 

I must seek from God every single day.
Kj is worth every ounce I have, and I know I will 

never regret fighting for him.


Some days will be hard, but today...

I simply adore him.

 

Two things.

There are many moments I love in this world.....

I love capturing those moments.

Windows are meant for opening...

This picture isn't anything special to any of you but to me, its my home.

Today is a good day. Windows are open and I can feel that crisp, cold breeze brushing across my entire apartment and I love it.

Welcome Fall...you can join me everyday if you like.

A new month, a new day.

I'm overwhelmed.

I had class this morning and let me tell you, its rough.

Molecules, atoms, anatomic positions, body cavities, carbohydrates, monosaccharides, polysaccharides, disaccharides, lipids, levels of organization, and the list goes on and on. This is just a brief  amount of the information I have to learn and memorize by Wednesday so I can take my first exam. I know I can learn in, in fact I'm confident I can get this information beat into my head but it takes a lot, and I mean a lot of discipline.


I also have no clue where the month of August went. I mean really, where the heck did it go? I woke up this morning and couldn't believe that we are already into September, most everyone has started school, and fall is just around the corner. I am pretty excited about that, there is not a whole lot I love more than fall in Wisconsin. I can't wait for colored leaves, pumpkin pie, warm sweaters, and of course, sweatpants. :)


I realize I am pretty much mumbling my way through this blog but its because I have so much on my mind. My house is waiting for a good cleaning, I must go take a nap because I work a 14 hour shift tonight starting at midnight, and as you read above, I have lots of homework to study.


Ok, have a great week everyone...I think I'll hit the bed first. ;)
