I am missing my husband so much but it's been so nice talking to him on the phone. He seems so different. God is really working on him in there. I am praying that God will help me be the wife he needs now and when he's home. God has been teaching me a lot, also. So much selfishness I didn't see before. God is so good!

Kara is doing better than before with her attitude. I am happy for that. She loves going to church at the Manley's. She has so much fun with the Cook girls. They are so cute!

I am trying to get a head start on some spring cleaning. Kara is asleep so I am going to take advantage of this time. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

50 pounds lighter and Missing My Husband.

For 4 months, we have been doing repairs to our house so that we may be approved for Metro. today was the inspection and it passed. I feel 50 pounds lighter. So glad that is over with.

As for Ryan's situation, he's still at London Prison. He sounds goods. He's in the prison choir. That definitely makes time go by faster. I miss him so much. God is really working in our marriage, even though we're apart. He's working in each of our hearts so that when we are together again, we can put to use the wonderful things God has taught us. May 25 is the big day I get to pick him up.

Kara has been in early headstart since he's been gone. I'm really worried about her attitude. She's picking up things that I don't like. She needs Jesus. I don't want her to see what the world has to offer right now. She needs what Jesus has to offer.

I will try and write more on a daily basis. Gotta get crackin on some serious make up work. aye!

Wow! What a morning! I'm really dragging here! I can't get motivated at all. I work in a couple of hours. I still have to shower, get ready and take Kara to my mom's before work. I can't believe he's going to be gone that long. What about Kara's surgery? What about Christmas? I know if I can just make it through the holidays, I'll be ok. I also know what once things settle down and I can write him and actually get one back, I will be ok. He'll be even farther away than before. I really need God's warmth right now. I'm so overwhelmed! Prayer is welcome!

"Jesus On The Mainline" With Mark Lowry (FULL)

Thanksgiving was great! We had my grandma and uncle at my house and it was just the four adults and Kara. It was nice to have my grandma all to myself. She's 85 years old and we never know what holiday will be her last. So, I am very thankful that I was able to spend a whole day with her. She's amazing. I love her so much!

These last two months have been crazy for us. We've been working on the house to get it ready for inspection. I've been trying to get my school work done, I was just offered a new job that starts tomorrow. My plate is full and Christmas is around that corner! I love Christmas! We're rearranging our office room to make room for our tree. I'm so excited! I think I'll on that today.

I've made so many pumpkin pies this last month, I think I'm taking a break til next year.

Well, duty calls! I will write more later on. I just wanted to put something up so I looked alive. I guess I can officially say "Merry Christmas".

Hmmm, Thursday morning! Sitting here doing a little homework, thought I'd write in my blog. I definitely don't do that enough. I'm trying to get motivated to clean up yesterday's mess in my house. I don't think I'm getting enough sleep. I'm so tired all the time. There's too much to do to be so stinkin tired. Ugh! Anyway, I'm really excited about going to my dad's house the day before Thanksgiving for T-day dinner. I love family socials. I'm devastated that my dear 85 year old grandma doesn't have it at her house anymore. It really breaks my heart. I've been going there for holidays since before I could remember. I longed for those times and now they're gone. At least my dad still has them. Between me and my brothers and sister, which all happen to be younger than me, will be bringing lots of yummy food. I'm going to try something different this year and make some pumpkin cheesecake. That is, as soon as I find a good recipe. I've not made before so if anyone has any suggestions. :D Well, Thanks for listening! I am off to do some chores. Have a great day!

Today is a tiring Sunday but I'm trying to make it through it! Good news! We are staying in this house and we don't have to move. I'm so excited about this because we don't have to move right before Christmas. We had to do that last year. Not fun! Now, I'm just waiting for my student loan so we can do some minor repairs to the house. I'm so excited about the Holidays. I plan to do some extra crafts and decorating around the house. I don't usually get into decorating for the fall but I am this year. It makes me happy. Well, I am off to make dinner! Later!
