We're almost a week down in Deployment 2013-2014. I have this nifty little thing lovingly called a "Donut of Misery", and right now mine looks like this: Lovely, right? Whew. 2%. We may or may not be a little farther into this than what this says, but we don't know exactly how long he'll be … Continue reading A new kind of separation

Busy.
We are in the fifth week of the semester already. This week has been crazy! It's not that things I do are particularly challenging; it's that every couple hours I'm starting something different. I practically live in Liberal Arts building. But I love this program. This week I taught a class in preparation to teach … Continue reading Busy.
The year of big girl panties: a recap.
My presence on my blog has been scant recently. I come to my laptop tonight from my sewing table. I always seem to think better when I'm sewing... my mind is free and it wanders while my hands are still busy. I'm so fidgety, just like my grandpa. I doubt I'll be posting much over … Continue reading The year of big girl panties: a recap.
Thankful in November
I'm not a fan of blowing up my own Facebook news feed every day with stuff, so I'll keep a blog entry for the month. I'm thankful for... 11/1 ...all the opportunities I've had to travel the US and the world. It's such a blessing to be able to see all of God's people in … Continue reading Thankful in November
Direction
This has been Missions Week at church, and it's encouraged me to start thinking about the future, our future after the military. We literally could see ourselves anywhere, on any continent, speaking any language. We've even thrown around the idea of Aaron staying in the military... but the chances of that right now are like .00000573%. Seriously. However, … Continue reading Direction
A whirlwind week
Yay, it's Friday! Although I've been going since 7ish this morning, it's been a good day. In fact, all the days this week were good despite getting home late Tuesday (I have a night class) and Aaron's crazy work schedule. One night he even had to go back in to work. Blech. I'm loving my … Continue reading A whirlwind week
The honeymoon is over
So.... we've been here for over a year. I'm pretty sure I've rehashed that fact on my blog and Facebook about a million times. It's been a crazy year. I'm one who gets bored easily; why else do you think I need to have multiple WIPs? (works in progress [knitting/crochet]). I'm always searching for a … Continue reading The honeymoon is over
Almost a year
July 8th will be a year since we moved to El Paso. I can't believe everything that's transpired in a year.... We rented our first house. It still doesn't feel 100% like home. Maybe it's because the furniture doesn't match, or that the carpet is an awful poop brown color. Maybe we're just still settling … Continue reading Almost a year
Fairy tales and four-days
I'm thankful that today, the day after a fantastic weekend, was not a let-down like so many days after holiday weekends are. We had a FABULOUS weekend! For starters, we've been watching the first season of "Once Upon a Time", a show based on all the fairy tales we learned as children. I admit, I … Continue reading Fairy tales and four-days
Staying missions-minded
As time goes on, it's becoming more and more evident to us that we are being called into missions. "Called" can be a term thrown around in the Christian circles.. but basically what I mean is that we have a very strong inclination and desire to go. Aaron still has four years left in the … Continue reading Staying missions-minded
