First snow


Last sunday we woke up to a beautiful sight Although it is a bit early for winter we had a pretty good snow storm. It snowed into the afternoon and everything was covered in thick fluffy white stuff. I have always loved winter and it was a reminder of what is just around the corner. My husband always puts the Christmas lights up right after Haloween but I was ready for that last Sunday. I resisted the urge to beg and bribe him to start pulling out the Christmas boxes from storage and thank Heavens because today the snow is gonw. No trace what so ever. The Sy is clear and blue the leaves on the trees seem to be in perfect sync with the time of year, the temprature is a winderful 70 degrees and again I am reminded how much I love the Fall.

On other notes, Matt is still looking for work. We amazingly still feel very calm and it is kind of the feeling that we know we have to relax and roll with the punches. We are both looking for jobs and Matt is awesome. He spends hours a day sending out resumes researching any possible job opportunity and applying for anything he can find. He is a good man and I am so thankful and blessed that he is my husband. He is a good example to my son and he treats me like a queen. I know it is hard for him to not be working. He is like a fish out of water. I know we would both like the security of a job and an income but for now this is what the Lord had in store for us and we know it is in his hands. We have faith that all will be well and we have much to learn from our circumstances. It is comforting to know that there is a bigger picture than the momentary and fleeting here and now.

Little Matthew is a hoot. He is always up to something and getting sillier and more fun each day. His sense of humor has really blossomed this last year and he is understanding more complex humor so it is fun to watch him experiment with it. He is fun loving, gentle and big hearted. just like his dad.

I am indeed a very blessed daughter of God. I am thankful for all that I have and look forward to what lies ahead. Life is a journey and we are the passenger. I am learning to sit back and enjoy the ride. Taking it all in and savoring each new experience. What beauty and thrills, lessons and new horizons. Life is wonderful.

Roller coaster ride

Life has been very busy lately and I havn't even thought about this blog for a few weeks. The most recent news is not good. Matt is unexpecedly looking for work. It is a little scary to have him out of work but I think it will be ok. I feel strangly calm about the whole situation. He did have a good phone interview today that could pan out to be a good thing and a few other leads on some projects that might help us get through but it will be tight.
On a better note my sister is visiting again from Iowa and maybe I'll get a chance to spend more time with her this trip. We will see.
I am still here amid this crazy life. I feel like I am on a roller coaster I have ridden a thousand times. I know this is just a dip in the coaster and soon we will be moving up again. It will be interesting to see where the turns take us now. Life is truly and adventure.
Love to all.
