Like I said before, I will try to answer these questions:
 

• What do I really believe? 
  I believe that the Lord will bless what I do, if I do it for Him. I believe that if I remove everything that comes between myself and my God, and give Him what remains, He can work fully in my life.
   
• Why am I doing what I'm doing?
  I am working as a vet assistant to ( Read more... )

As I type, I am careful not to use my right pinky finger to hit the Return key. It hurts so bad when I forget...

I sprained my hand last Sunday while attempting to catch an alpaca. I spent all week in a splint, no easy task when my primary duty was being county fair sheep superintendent. Josh was a sweety though and came to the fair with me to be my ( Read more... )

It's so hard sometimes-most of the time-to live what I preach. At least, right now it is. I want to say what I think sooo bad ( Read more... )

My clothes are in the dryer, so I'm probably going to be late to work. Need scrubs.

There isn't anything in our stuffed refrigerator that can be used as take-to-work-for-lunch food, so lunch will be bought today.

My mother thinks I need to work my dog more. No kidding, really? I think so too. Unfortunately, everything that I "need to do" gets shoved ( Read more... )

When I brush my teeth (every morning, without fail, and almost every night), I put the toothpaste on the toothbrush and then get it wet before brushing.

Josh gets his toothbrush wet first, then puts on paste.

Amazing the things you learn when you're married to someone. Weird.

Right now he is subbing for a class of 1st grade monsters (his words), so we ( Read more... )

Coyotes killed a sheep the other night. Well, they ate a sheep. I don't know what exactly killed it.

Regardless, three coyotes have since died of lead poisoning.

Eric killed a raccoon last night, avenging Ollie. The police, fortunately, didn't show up, but the neighbors came out to tell us that they called them. But don't worry we're used to it.

Josh and I are almost free from the concrete jungle of Puyallup. No, we haven't closed on our farm property yet, but God-willing, we will in the next month or so. It all depends on the septic system. While we wait, we are living in Eatonville. It is so good to be out there! Granted, it would be nice to wake up to fluffy carpet, climb out of our ( Read more... )

Josh has begun leading us in a daily study of Proverbs. One of yesterday's verses of interest was "He who finds a wife finds what is good, and receives favor from the Lord."  It is a reminder to me to be good (lol). Actually, it is a comfort to me as well, knowing that by being his wife, and respecting and encouraging him daily, I am a good thing ( Read more... )

I am at work all the time, in case anyone has been wondering what my life has been like since graduation and marriage. In fact, thinking about it the other night, there are three days a week when I spend 11-12 hours at work (or driving), 8-9 hours sleeping, the other 4-6 hours are spent "at home." As a married woman, being at home means doing ( Read more... )

 Josh and I had company for two meals in a row! His folks came over for dinner last night (he cooked dinner and cleaned house while I was at work!! Lucky me!). His brother came over for breakfast this morning (waffles, eggs, bacon).  The kitchen and living room are fantastically clean and shiny, and the downstairs still needs help. Nothing new, ( Read more... )
