Unfortunately, my husband has been getting to do all of the demo. With us being new in town, and no reliable baby sitters, I get to stay at home with the kids, while Alan has all the fun! If you ask him, though, I don’t think he considers it fun! This is looking towards the old kitchen. See how tiny it was? The Tucson house had soffits galore. ... READ the POST
House Hunting in Tucson and lessons about Patience, Part 2
In this post I shared my lack of patience and how God was stretching me on it. The most recent lesson on patience was our house hunting in Arizona. In our search, we listed our priorities: school district, pool, number of bedrooms. Our target school district was number one. Apparently, everyone wants in this district, because if a house came up that was a decent ... READ the POST
Lessons on patience, otherwise known as “House Hunting” and other tests…
Part 1, I admit it, I am not a patient person. When I did a Bible study on the fruits of the Spirit, I knew then I had a serious problem! Looking back over the last six months, I think God has been trying to stretch me on my lack of patience. Being from Montana, I have felt the pull and desire to go back since moving away.

I wasn’t entirely sure what color I ... READ the POST

Solving seating problems = build a bench
When we bought this house, we knew we weren’t formal dining people. To fill the space, I moved our nice dining table to the formal dining room and picked up a small table off of craigslist for the breakfast area. Not wanting to buy eight of the same chairs, I settled for six, with the thought that I could find something unusual for other side of the dining table. I finally ... READ the POST
Kids, ski school, spring break in Red River, NM!
Confession…I am a homebody. I like the idea of going somewhere for vacation, but when it comes down to it, I like being at home. You see, I am in charge of packing for the three kiddos, finding a dog sitter, getting the car packed, making sure the kids have toys and snacks readily available, and finally attempting to clean the house, so it is clean when we get home. Although, the attempt at ... READ the POST
