Coffee Break

in the house. My youngest is now in the double digits. We celebrated his 10th birthday over the weekend. It is so hard for me to believe that my children are all half grown. Yes, they really are. When did that happen? It has been an amazing journey so far, and I hope that the lessons that they are learning will last them a lifetime. Especially after this summer with losing their home, and with the car having "issues", and all the sickness that all of us have had. I am so thankful to celebrate life and to give my son a birthday party to give thanks and praise to God with family and friends. We really had a great time. You'd think with him being my third child, my youngest, that I would not feel so "Wow'd" by his coming of age, but to your surprise and mine...I am. I know that there are still many lessons for him (and all my kids) to learn before they leave our little home, but it is so amazing to see how much he has already learned. I love watching h...

Well we are finally settled in. We've been in the new house for almost two weeks. It took all of last week to finish packing, move, unpack, and put the house back together. I know that a lot of people find it hard to believe, but it really does not take me long to put a house together. This time, it took 5 days, but if I had it my way I would have taken another day from work and had it done in 3. Not to bad for having 7 years and 5 people's worth of "stuff". We did get rid of a lot, but there is still so much stuff! How on earth do we collected so much stuff? I have two schools of thought on this. First, we are afraid to get rid of junk. I'm not sure why it's so hard to throw away things that are broken, harmful, hurtful, and overall not important in our lives.
