Day 19 - a talent of yours...


This is a tough one! I am not sure if I know what my talents are?? But, if I think on it I guess I could say cooking. I am actually a very good cook and baking and cooking etc.. come easy to me. In fact I just redid our chore charts, cooking days chart, etc.. and I put my days for Monday and then Friday with my 8 yr. old son Micah. I have missed cooking. My oldest dd and then my oldest son (with the help of the littles) have been doing alot of cooking so I had to take it back so to speak...:) 


Also, I think I decorate my home nicely. I enjoy making my house into a home. making it welcoming and cozy.  It isn't always what I want because of finances but if I had an unlimited budget I would have such fun! 


And I bet my friends would say babies and pregnancy! And yes, I am good at carrying and giving birth and all things midwifery. They are passions of mine. Women and things having to do with that is a passion of mine. I think it important to know ourselves and that truly does carry into childbearing. 

I guess that wasn't so hard was it?? 


It would be interesting to see what all of you think my talents are? So tell me, what would you say are my talents?

Day 18 - my wedding/future wedding/past wedding..


Well, I was married 16 years ago in Feb. We didn't have a big wedding. My dh and I paid for it ourselves and I had to make alot of things by hand and do other things as cheaply as possible. But, our wedding was wonderful all the same!!  


I already put a pic of me on our wedding day in another 30 day post so today I will post a pic of our renewal. We renewed our vows in our 10th year of marriage. We plan to do so again at 20 years!


I ordered a dress that was maternity but still formal and pretty.I was 30 weeks along with my daughter ZaraLayna. My dh wore a tux again and we decorated the church. This time our children walked with us down the aisle. MY oldest wrote a poem and spoke at the ceremony. A friend of mine from CO came up and made us a beautiful cake!  We chose worship songs and hymns to sing. Then afterwards we went up to the mountain to celebrate! 

We left the next morning and went on a 2nd honeymoon to CO! It was wonderful!! :) 


So on to pics..

my dream house...

My dream house would be on some acreage. A place where I can grow a big garden, have some animals and enough space for my children to run. I would love to have a small creek running through the property and some woods behind the house to forage through for edible herbs and such. I want enough land to sustain our family. To be self sufficient and have to rely less on the government.
Inside I would like at least 4 decent sized bedrooms, a dining room, living room, kitchen thats a good size, pantry, basement for the children to play in and an indoor porch.
It would need to be child friendly! I really like old homes so it wouldn't need to be new. And I LOVE to decorate so it wouldn't have to be perfect either. I would add my own touch and flavor to the home!
I would like it to be a moderate sized home for entertaining. I love to be hospitable. :) But it doesn't have to be huge..don't have time to clean a large home when raising my children.
Would love a barn and coop on the property or other small storage unit.

hmmmm..well, guess that's all I can think of for now..:)

a non-fictional book...

Well, the best nonfiction book I have read lately besides Yeshua's Word is Friendships for Grown Ups by Lisa Welchel. Elohim has done an amwesome work in my heart and life and it started with this book. While reading it I felt as if the words Lisa wrote I had written myself. It was given to me by a good friend of mine and I know the L-rd laid me on her heart as she read. Isn't He so good??

Go ahead! Check it out for yourself and be prepared to be changed and renewed!! :)
