MIA

It's been too long since I've posted a blog post, unfortunately this one won't contain anything substantial, just life stuff.

Things have been crazy these last two weeks. My Grandmother was diagnosed with stage four cancer, so we have been grieving the news of this and taking care of her.

My sister is now engaged, and they are planning a wedding in December, so there is a lot a buzz about that!

Lastly, I just started my new position at work, working more hours and day shift, so this means less time to write blog posts (which I miss dearly!) Squeeze in homework and farm chores and that's my life right now!

With fall now here, I am itching to make some pumpkin-y type foods, and so I'll hopefully have on posted on here soon! :D Have a good day!

I Am Thankful For...

What am I thankful for? That is something that we don't think a lot about through the rest of the year. Sometimes life can become overwhelming and we only think of the problems in our lives (well, I do anyway) instead of everything we have to be thankful for. So, here are my top five things I am thankful for.

1. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without Him I am nothing. He gives me strength to continue through hard times and rejoices with me in good ones.

2. My Husband. I am thankful for God putting the one man on earth that could put up with me, in my life ;) I am thankful that he listens quietly when I am confused about a decision I need to make (which has been happening a lot here lately) and he listens to me blow off steam after a night at work. (two whole hours yesterday morning....) Most of all I am thankful that he is my best friend and always by my side.

3. My Family. I am very close to my family, and I could not imagine life without any of them. 

4. Our Jobs. In these hard economic times, even an imperfect job is something to be thankful for. I am thankful that I have a job that provides excellent benefits and my husband has a job that he enjoys and pays the bills.


5. The opportunity to homestead. Although I may not be as far in my homesteading journey as I would like to be, it is simply that. It's a journey. I need to take the time to enjoy it more than I do now.

Your turn! What are some things you are thankful for?
