I saw this button and thought it was very fitting. Some people would call me crafty. I am, I guess, to an extent. I have my own business. I embroider just about anything. Yes, I have one of those machines and yes, it is automatic. I can just send a design to it and it stitches it out. Facinating, I know. It's become a job, though. I have a couple of clients that have huge jobs for me. Those are a lot of work.
I like to paint. Not pictures, but rooms. I like to create. It's really a family deal....my dad and mom are both artists. They print and design t-shirts for a living. They are also musicians. Both my brothers are worship leaders. It's just in our blood.
So the button is funny, but fitting.

First Blog

Well, I've put it off for too long. People have suggested that I should blog recipes, but I think I'll do a little bit of everything. After all, life is not just for breakfast anymore.

Life is beginning and ending all around us. Why should we just go through the motions?

I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I believe in Christ. Most of all following Him. I don't believe in going through the motions at church. I believe in walking the walk 24/7. WHAT?! I'm talking worshiping daily! Does that mean I am perfect...heck no! Does it mean that I sit down with my bible and notebook in my prayer closet every single day? Not really....it means that I go throughout my day and worship God in the small things, LIFE.

I am a wife. My husband is my best friend. We talk about everything. He is souch an adventurous spirit. I am so proud of his accomplishments and his failures. Why? Well, they both shape who he is and we learn so much from God through both. He loves people and loves being around people. I love that about him. He could never be shut off in a cubicle somewhere, he has to have human contact. He is a shepherd. He loves to disciple people and is awesome at it. Some might call it spiritual babysitting, but it's actually relationship.....go figure! LOVE!

I am a mom. I have three children. Well, I have two children out of the womb and one in! I can't wait until our second son is born. Well, I can, but I am really excited to have a new life in the family. It is just refreshing. Julia is excited that she will be the only 'princess' and Caleb is excited that he will have a little brother. This is probably our last kiddo, so I'm trying to enjoy every moment. NOt all moments in pregnancy are enjoyable, though. Just ask my husband. I think he's had his head bit off more than he wishes. I'm really trying to watch it, though. HAPPINESS!

I am me. I love to sing and worship. Actually, if I don't get to worship, I get in a funky, funky mood. I taught myself how to play guitar, but I'm not very good and I am very self concious about it. I am very self consious in general. Most people don't know that about me, but I am, probably to a fault. I love my family. My goal is to raise a family that is as close as my parents have managed to make my family. I find it very sad that family can't get along. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have the support of my family. I wouldn't be very happy, that's for sure.

I guess that's it in a cereal bowl. More to come!
