Just because it's super inspiring and really worth sharing... Life without Limbs

As I sit here fireworks are going off all around the house. Since they are legal here in MN, I suppose many of them are coming from the neighbors. We decided to stay in this evening since my husband works tomorrow and due to our northerly location the formal displays don't start till after 10. All together, I'm sitting here a little sad and feeling ( Read more... )

I took the written test for my MN license yesterday and passed, yay! I haven't taken a written test since first getting my license at 16, so questions on the details concerned me the most... like DUI fines for commercial vehicle drivers?

Yesterday though it was chilly enough that I had to pull out my daughter's Thanksgiving dress for church as well as a colder weather outfit for myself. Looking out in the afternoon ( Read more... )

The icon is a painting of my baby girl done by dawnba. Emmy's grown alot since then and I'm hoping to have another done at some point (maybe soon depending on my husband's job situation) if we can get our financial act together ( Read more... )

I haven't done a regular post in a while and alot has been going on. I suppose the biggest thing to have happened in recent months is our move from Southeastern PA to the Minneapolis metro area. Things were getting so tight financially that we took up my mother in law's offer to move in to her house with her. She was living alone so it was really a ( Read more... )

At least 173553 signed the ACLJ petition and more than 130,000 people signed a Focus Action (Focus on the Family) petition opposing the bill ( Read more... )
