Everyday Life

This blog was originally designed for those far away to be able to have a look into our lives. Since it has been around though we have not been doing a very good job at keeping it updated frequently. I often covet the ambition of other bloggers with their almost daily blogs. So here is to my attempt to be a better blogger, to keep you all updated on our lives.
So we told you Jonathan got glasses a while ago. After we got the prescription adjusted he now can see clearly. It has been a bit of an adjustment but all in all they have been great. Hopefully these will also be a great help to him in his flying. Here is a picture :) (also note one of the new colors of our living room!)



The weather has been so weird here lately. It was really wonderful for a couple weeks, then it turned really really cold. Now today it is beautiful again, which I am thankful for because I nanny today...this means we get to go to the PARK!!! Although it seems to be a bit boring at times, because there are just a bunch of little tots running around babbling some type of baby talk that only those 4 and under can really understand, I get to bask in the sunshine and breath in something other than stale air! 
It seems lately that our schedules have been rather packed full of work. I have been given more hours at work and am still nannying on wednesdays. Working 6 days a week is really not my cup of tea but we do what we can...all that we can save now will really help us out come this summer! Jonathan has been busy with school and is working usually between 3-4 days a week. He has completed 1 class, has a week left of another and then has to finish his biblical preaching class. We are both looking forward to school starting this summer. July 12th to be exact. The thoughts of it are overwhelming at times for me...my husband up in the sky with a bunch of sheet metal around him maintained by students...ugh. But we both know that this is the direction God has called us in. He will keep my husband safe through his numerous flights to come. We would love it if you would pray for us in this new adventure we will be beginning in July. For safety, finances, little stress on our relationship, time for family and friends...i am sure the list could go on! We will keep you all updated.
We painted our living room last week...the colors are so wonderful, it really warms up our home that used to have stark white walls. We rearranged our furniture and love the new look! 
My sinuses, stomach and head have been feeling really yucky for a while. So Sunday I decided to make some changes in my diet. For 2 weeks I am going to try to eat as close to all fruits and vegetables as I can ( I have incorporated natural peanut butter so far as more of a filler ). I also will only be having sugar (dessert) once a week (unless it is a special occasion or I am at my grandparents house) So monday started my no sugar...and yesterday started my fruits and veggies. We also went to the gym last night and we worked out hard core. I really just wanted to fall over and give up...sweat running down my face, legs burning, throat sticking together...but I finished my 10k, on the elliptical, in less than 40 minutes! Today I feel great, no bloating...more energy. I just have to have more snacks throughout the day because I find myself getting hungry. If I don’t take something with me I would prob go to the store and devour an entire shelf of dried noodles...talk about bloating :)

I am a woman of God on a journey. A wife to a wonderful husband. I love baking and cooking and just being crafty. My husband is going through flight school and I am working full time. My hearts desire is to stay at home and make money, have children and just be able to be free from my dreaded job. My mind is so full and cluttered when I go to bed at night that I needed a way to get it all out...
