~ my husband rocks! ~ Anniversary

Austin and I will be celebrating our one-year anniversary on Monday, September 22! This year has flown by, and yet it's hard to believe that we have grown and changed so much in only a year!

I had kept all of my attire specifics a secret from Hoss, and we waited until after the ceremony to take pictures, so the first time he saw me was as I was coming down the aisle:

I literally melt every time I look at this picture!

This song that was played during our unity sand ceremony

Our first dance as husband and wife:



To this song:



Thank you for a wonderful, amazing, crazy, stretching, challenging, fun-filled, action-packed year, baby! I can't wait for the next 50!

I love you, Austin! You so totally rock!

Marriage Builder Monday - on a Tuesday :)

Hello and happy Tuesday!

I know I'm a day late on this one, but yesterday was our big BATW day! Thanks to everyone for your visits and your sweet comments! I am hoping to return the favor within the next couple of days :)

I am starting the book The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian, so one thing that I'm going to do for Austin this week, and for the next several, is to read this book and put it into practice. I have a tendency to just zip through a book and while I get a lot out of it, I know that in certain situations, it is best to read slowly, taking everything in and even rereading when necessary. Therefore, I am going to read just a single chapter per week, and take longer if I feel the need. This week's chapter is entitled "His Wife" and it's about looking at myself and what I need to improve upon rather than always thinking about and focusing upon the areas in which he needs to improve.



Another practical thing I am planning for Austin this week will happen on Friday evening. We are going away for our anniversary this weekend, and the trip involves a six-hour drive. Having just returned from a cross-country road trip to Florida in which he drove the bulk of the 25 hour drive (both ways), he is not particularly looking forward to the driving portion of our weekend. So, I am going to drive the entire way there, and if he would like, the entire way back. If he'll let me. Sometimes he's kind of macho about that. He feels responsible to get us there safely. He's so stinking cute! :)

Hope everyone's having a great, great Tuesday!

Welcome to Iowa!

Hello and happy Monday to all of our lovely visitors from Blog Around the World! :) It's great to have you!

Today we are touring the beautiful state of Iowa!



I am a recent "transplant" to Iowa. I was born and raised in Colorado Springs, but went to college in beautiful and historic Dubuque, Iowa where I met my uber-fabulous husband (whom i write about every Friday during ~my husband rocks!~ Fridays!) who had lived his entire life about 3 hours away in small-town Iowa.



I never thought that I would move away from Colorado, but I fell in love with the green and the open space and the ambiguity of driving through town only to run smack into a cornfield.

Oh, and I fell in love with Austin, too. He's a pretty big part of the reason I live here :).


My Iowa experiences have been wonderful and varied. Camping and donkey-riding, crazy flooding, complete home restoration, gnats, an amazing proposal, finally getting a Chipotle, more camping, hair fiascos, the world-famous Iowa State Fair, emergency room visit. We're pretty busy :).



I hope you enjoy our beautiful state. It is a place where not many people vacation (unless they have family here), but more should, because we sure have a lot to offer. If you ever decide to take a trip out our direction, drop me a line, we have a couple of guest rooms :)

Is this heaven, no . . . it's Iowa!



Have a great Monday, and thanks for reading! Be sure to check in with Darcy and Britt, my fellow Iowa ladies! :)

This week while we were eating supper, Austin looked up at our unity sand and got a funny look on his face. When I asked him what was up, he chuckled a little and said "I just thought of something for the blog." Which made me smile. He said, "It's really corny, but it's kind of cute. Every anniversary, we could put our hands over the top of our sand container and shake it one time. That way it symbolizes how every year we become more and more united." I think it's adorable. Here's what our sand looks like now:

Thanks for reading everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Thankful Thursday!

Hello everyone! Thanks for putting up with my sporadic blogging habits of late :) It's been a little crazy over here!

First of all, I would like to say thank you for the positive response to my Monday post. I was really nervous about posting it. So much so that I began writing it on August 28th, and didn't get up the guts to post it until Monday. I was very nervous because I know that it can be a touchy subject, and I really do not like confrontation. I also do not want my blog to be a place where I get up on my soapbox and complain and whine and drive people crazy, because where's the fun in that? :) But I really felt like it needed to be said, and I was very encouraged and appreciative of the comments I recieved. Thank you all for being such great bloggy friends.




Onto my Thankful Thursday-ness. (I'm sorry, I know gramatically it's atrocious, but I'm on a kick where I add -ness to the end of just about anything to make it an adjective, maybe because I'm feeling a little too lazy to come up with proper adjectives, I don't know.)

~ I'm thankful for a warm house that my husband built just the way we wanted it. (He's pretty great)

(This is a before picture, it does not still look like this, I promise! :) )

~ I'm thankful for my wonderful parents who celebrate their 26th wedding anniversary today.

~ I'm thankful for my sweet, adorable husband with whom I will celebrate our 1 year anniversary on Mondy 9/22

~ I'm thankful for our freedom, and that we live in such a great country. I'm not really one to argue politics, who am I kidding, I love to argue politics, but that's not really what I want this blog to be about; however, this is too good to not post:

Today I have been reminded that life is so precious, and we never know what will happen from one minute to the next. Sherry and Joy and Joanne and Lori all have great memorial posts up for 9/11.

~ I am rejoicing with Melissa

~ I am thankful for God's faithfulness in the midst of trials. This week my family is experiencing something that I cannot even begin to understand. My sweet sister-in-law Ashley miscarried on Monday afternoon. When my hubby relayed the message to me I felt like someone had kicked me in the teeth. I spoke with my MIL (who is there with them) on Tuesday, and she said that Ashley is doing well. We would all appreciate your prayers.


Thanks for reading! Enjoy your Thursday!

:(

"While the public school system continues to degenerate into a drug-stupid, sex-oriented, illiterate morass of misfit, Marxist clones, the homeschool movement is producing intelligent, clear-thinking, confident citizens ready to stand in the middle of cascading corruption and declare their allegiance to God and family."

I found this paragraph on this website, and as a product of the public school system, I completely resent that entire paragraph.

Please don't get me wrong, I married a home-schooler, have many friends who are products of homeschooling and our current opinion is that we will homeschool our children.

However, that said, this kind of ignorant drivel is precisely what gives homeschoolers in general a bad name! (That's right, I know what drivel means, and I only ever took English at a public school!) All of the families I know who homeschool would be furious if someone made a blanket statement about "the homeschool movement." And I know that many are made all the time: homeschoolers are less socially adept than public schoolers, families who homeschool are all uber-conservative, anti-modern, etc, etc." We've all heard them. And while there are truly some people who fulfill these stereotypes, the vast majority does not.

I feel that the same can be said about the public school world. I concede that there are many people in the public school system who fulfill what Pearl is saying to a "t," and the percentage may be higher in that case than in the case of the homeschooling stereotypes, but I find it ignorant and offensive to dismiss public schooling as a whole just because of some of its negative aspects. Many, many wonderful Christian people have dedicated their entire lives to teaching in the public school system, and I know many, many "intelligent, confident, [and] clear-thinking citizens" who graduated from public school. Not to mention godly, pure, and morality intact!!!

As I was reading more of their material, I found these statements:

"Their oldest son just jumped ship. He has a wild tattoo, pierced his ears, and dyed his hair." (1)

"Many parents have had their faith shaken. 'We didn’t watch television or associate with sinners; we taught our children Christian principles; why didn’t it work?'"(2)

"even in the protected vacuum of a Christian home"(3)

Where to even begin!?!??!

Why is the church so judgemental about these external things? "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart!"

Why didn't they "associate with sinners"? Jesus Himself spent nearly ALL of his time with the "sinners"!!! Isn't one of the most important "Christian principals" go INTO all the world and make disciples"??!!?! If we do not associate with "sinners" how will they ever hear about the love of God? And news flash, I'm a sinner, you're a sinner, there's no way around it, we all fall into this category!!! How self-righteous can we be? And since when is a "Christian home" supposed to be a "protected vacuum"? This seems completely contrary to Christ's command that we are to be "in the world, but not of it"!

I am sorry to rant, but I am so flabbergasted by the hypocrisy!!!

Maybe the deeper reason that teenagers are "jumping ship" is that the Christianity with which they have been presented is so small and narrow for such a big God! They have not been taught that their God is huge and powerful and can handle any of their questions, so when their parents' small faith cannot answer their doubts and their fears, they have nowhere to turn, but to the world that seems to have all the answers!

I have been reading Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell, and he puts it so well:
"I can't tell you the number of people in their late teens or early twenties I know, or those I have been told about, who experience truth outside the boundaries of their religion and abandon the whole thing because they think it's a choice . . . They are experiencing truth in all sorts of new ways, and they need a faith that is big enough to handle it. Their box is getting blown apart, and the faith they were handed doesn't have room for what they are learning."

It scares me, honestly, that the world sees our faith as something that is so small and narrow and constricting. This is the image we have portrayed to them. They did not arrive at this conclusion independently. And there are people all over the world (and all over the web) who consistently prove them RIGHT!!! Which is so WRONG!!! Am I making any sense? People, my God is huge! My God does not wish for us to live in restriction, but in the most wonderful freedom! "I have come that you may have life, and that you may have it to the full!!!" It breaks my heart that someone might miss Him because of the twisted image others are portraying.

That said, I really have to take a long, hard look at myself. What kind of image am I portraying? Do the people I work with know that I love the Lord just because I say so, or because I live like I love Him? Are my friends and family encouraged and blessed by me, or am I needy and whiny and high maintenance because I am depending upon them for fulfillment in areas where I should be depending on Christ?

Not exactly a light beginning to our week, but certainly much needed introspection for myself. Thanks for reading, and have a fabulous Monday.

Austin is the most observant man I know. He notices details that I usually don't even realize are there!

For awhile he had a job installing cable, so he has been inside several homes in our town, and he can to this day draw you an exact blueprint of how the rooms are laid out in nearly every home he has ever entered. Not to mention every home he has ever lived in, since he was 5, lol! And that's a lot of houses!

He is also tremendously thoughtful. I was rushing around and running late for an early morning meeting one morning this week, and in my haste I left my work computer at home - kind of an essential part of my job, lol! Austin, in the midst of his own busy morning, noticed that I had left it and took the time to bring it into my work so it was waiting for me when my meeting was over! He's so awesome!

This week, I would like to tell you all about how great my hubby is in the area of protecting me. First of all, he is the most competent and intelligent person I know, so I can't think of anyone else more qualified for the job. And secondly, he does it without making me feel belittled or demeaned.

Whenever I ride my bike or take the dog for a walk, even in our teeny tiny town, he likes to know where I'm going, when I reach my destination, and when I'm going to be back. Not out of an attitude of controlling my movements, but because he is genuinely concerned for my well-being.

He's not real keen on me driving out of town alone, or in big cities, and when we take the long road trips he feels guilty when he needs me to drive because he feels like it is his responsibility to get us there safely.

In all the time we have known each other there have been two occasions upon which he has had to accompany me to the emergency room, and both times he has been absolutely wonderful. He is so attentive, and the look of loving concern on his face just makes my heart break with love for him.

He is such a wonderful man, and he takes his role as the protector of our family very seriously. My husband rocks my socks off! :)

Here's a little hint about one of the giveaway items: :)



Thanks for reading everyone! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Things to do on a Friday night in a small town . . .

. . . go to the emergency room!!!



Yep, that's right. Life is certainly never boring, I'll tell you that much. You see, it all started at the fair. Austin and I rode up to Des Moines on a Harley owned by our friend Craig, and camped with Craig's family in their motor home. Well, when the time came that evening to move the bikes from general parking over to the campground, I had changed from my jeans to shorts, but didn't think much of it as we were just going to move the bike, not ride it for an extended period of time. So we hop on and cruise up to the campgrounds, where the parking is very, very tight. Thinking that I'll just get off real quick so that Austin can maneuver the bike more easily, I slide of the right side (big no-no) and land my exposed calf right on the VERY hot exhaust pipe! It didn't take me too long to move from that position, but as I was trying to get away from the pipe, I turned and scraped the back of my thigh on Craig's bike's license plate holder!

The burn hurt like the dickens, but didn't seem too bad, so we just walked down towards the fairgrounds and got some ointment from the police officers on duty, which cooled it and formed a kind of second skin which protected it nicely. This is what it looked like that Sunday morning:


It blistered and popped, and I thought that I was doing a fantastic job of keeping it clean. I put triple antibiotic ointment on it regularly and cleaned it out at least once a day with hydrogen peroxide, but by the end of the week, it was obviously infected and it hurt to even stand on my right leg for any period of time. By Friday night the redness of the infection had grown to an area of 8x11 centimeters at its widest and tallest points, and our friend Michael, with whom we were hanging out and playing games expressed his concern that it may be a Staph infection, and strongly suggested that we visit the emergency room immediately. This is what it looked like on Friday night:
(The flash washed it out a little bit, but I've drawn a line around where the redness was.)
(This one shows it a little bit better, but my calf just looked so defined in the first one, lol!)

Tyler and Emma went with us to the emergency room, and we were processed very quickly. The doctor said that even though it was not a Staph infection, it was very good that we had come right away because it was very infected. She prescribed an antibiotic and wrote on me with a surgery pen, instructing us to return if the infection spread rapidly in any direction, or if it was no better by Sunday night.
Tyler and Austin waiting for our names to be called (we were the only ones there)!

Thankfully, the antibiotics are doing their job and the infection has decreased significantly. It's still a little tender, but that's to be expected. We were a little shocked at the price tag on six pills: $134!!! Thank the Lord for good health, because I cannot imagine spending that kind of money on prescriptions on a too regular basis!

I've been feeling kind of funky all week, and I wasn't really sure why, so I did some research. The antibiotic, called Levaquin, is reported to have the following side effects: Headache, difficulty sleeping, agitation, anxiety, back and joint pain, changeable emotions, depression, difficulty concentrating, disorientation.(source) Which is a pretty good summary of the way I've been feeling. Thankfully this is the last day I will be taking it, so I'm really looking forward to the weekend.

Sorry I've been MIA this week. When I would get home from work, I would just crash - terrible headaches and the trouble sleeping at night has made me very emotional and weepy. Next week will be much better!

Thanks for reading, and for sticking with me through the slow weeks!

~ my husband rocks! ~ Timeless :)

Happy Friday everybody!!!


Before I explain yet another reason why my fabulous husband ROCKS, I have an announcement to make!



Coming up next month MHR Fridays will be having a HUGE giveaway! "Why a giveaway?" you may ask. Well I'll tell you, because giveaways are freaking awesome!

This week, Austin rocks because our love is timeless :)

Here is what we would have looked like had we been sweethearts at any other time in the past:

1952

1956

1960

1968

1970

1976

1978

1984

1988

1990

1992

2000

2007

Present

(I found this fun diversion through Kathy - Mama's Losin' It - at http://www.yearbookyourself.com/)


That was our silly reason for the week. Austin is so amazing that this week I have several serious reasons why he rocks.

1. He indulges my silliness, and even enjoys it with me (hence the crazy faces, lol!)

2. He gave up his weekend and spent lots of money at the fair because he knew how much I wanted to go.

3. His favorite part about MHR Fridays? The fact that so many other husbands are being built up and encouraged by their wives. He can't wait to hear the new count every week!
