My Birthday

Me :) Grace! Often now it is thought to be my name :) It is God's gift to me... and I hope 2u.

I'm happily married to Hubbie. We have 2 lovley daughters!
I'm 30 soemthing & We've been married 15 years this month... Something more to celebrate!

If we need more to celebrate... Hubbie & I are making plans for our 20 year reunions!

My mom & dad just celebrated 44 years together!! My hubbie parents will too celebrate 44 years this summer. May we follow in their years.

I've been home for 8+ years.
The Accounting world and industry friends seem like another life time ago. It was definately another world at Trinity Industries.

I'm a full time teacher! I love it. We enjoy homeschooling. My Ladybug laid on her pillow chattering with daddy. She likes mama teaching her to read. Lovebug has said math is her favorite! Wow.

Kitting gives me patience to listen to her read and survive her squirms. I've knitted 4 pair of socks finishing the last yesterday morning. It is the only pair that do not match.. grrr... 2 stitches made my toes off. I've pulled yarn to start another pair aqua blue for the girls.

I'm a better teacher than homemaker and occasionally I can conquer that world. I'm a stacker more than a stower. The pile here at the pc is 6" deep with cookbooks, crosstitch, Otto, Nature & a Spanish NT. Decluttering is a place difficult to get to.

I treasure my Bible. It is a cute small purple KJV. I'm studding Psalm 23 this summer with a great book A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23. I'm enjoy finding God as my Good Shepherd... and I'm seeing the challenge to "not want". I've just found Corinthians in my Bible without any highlights... so that's my casual read... The girls and I are reading Genesis... and studying "I AM" verses. We are trying to develop a habit to review memorized passages of Ps 1, 19, 23, 139.. God's word is our treasure... Oh that we find the jewels!! Jewels for each day!

I enjoy blogging and am thrilled to convert to here. I'm eager to print my 2007. My struggle is looking at all that I did not blog... now do I back blog??? That is overwhelming... I don't have the pennies for a book so there's "time" to back blog.

The best way to reach me is an e. I use my cell mostly for email & web. I have hundreds of unread emails related to AO hsing that I'd like to read (399+101!). My phone is weak and often runs out of batteries. I despise my home phone and hubbies is ready to cut the line.

I always cook dinner & clean up. I'm thrilled we always eat at the table together. Hubbie does great to make it to dinner!! I'm blessed to be in a cooking group for 4+ years now & my freezer has many meals. I wish Hubbie would help in the kitchen.... That'd be a B gift for sure. Our timing is so different. I want to immediately clean up.. he could wait... days!??? I need to teach my girls more here.

A Cool Gift I'd enjoy... Just pondering not suggesting! Handheld GPS, iPod, Auto DVD.. What I've asked for is a clock for my car. The back light is out and Hubbie does not want to spend pennies to fix it... lots of pennies... Oh, if it is for my B day can we fix it???!!! It will be hard to put a bow on.

I'm thrilled about my garden box. The plants have not come into their own yet... they yet look small and fragile. Even so all is yet alive... Only a few bean sprouts have demised. My pink cone flowers in the front are beautiful! They've just started to bloom!!! And they reseeded on their own and I'm watering about 10 lovely seedlings.

This has ong long & probably way too much of me!! My clothes say there is too much of me too!! Hummm.... only 7ish #s will take me back to my lifetime weight watcher weight... yet that seems like a soooooo loooong way away... Oh, I need to try to get there. Maybe I'll not make a birthday cake on that note!! This year I feel too much like Eyore.

Maybe I'll celebrate with a trip to the bookstore.. kidless... wow!! That would be a treat!! Lunch too... so come join us!! And I'll never see WOW in the same way!! I'll always see it as Ladybug exclaimed... "It says MOM!!!"

He has ordained all my days!!! Thanks to my Good Shepherd!!
Grace! ss
