Life..Love..Don't take it for granted

As some of you know I recently found out a woman I went to school with tragically and unexpectedly lost her life in her sleep. She was only 32 years old, married and had 5 kids under the age of 5.  Her husband has started writing letters to her that are sooo inspiring and heartfelt.  Since this tragic accident I have had an eye opener to life.. and love.. not to take what we have for granted.  I simply can not stand the thought of losing my husband unexpectedly or even at all.  This has definitely made me hug my husband and my kids tighter.
Her husband writes to her everyday and has since she passed away over a month ago.  August 16th, 2012.  His words make me cry like a baby every time I read what he writes her.  He also just made this video for her that had me in tears too.  She was a beautiful person who loved everyone she met. I just wanted to share it with you all.

I believe things happen for a reason

I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason.  I recently have applied for many jobs and one I was called back had a phone interview and even a group interview and told I was hired and would start training.  So I went to training and found out that this job is NOT for me because I would make less than I do now.  I was only going to be working 20 hours an hour and at $10.00 I just can't make it on that.  So I need at least 30 hours to be able to make what I am making now.  So now I am back to square 1 looking for a job again.

I keep telling myself that this happened for a reason and the reason is there is something better for me out there.  That it might not be right in front of me but there is a better job that I will come across and enjoy more.  So I am ok with it but know that I will not stop looking.  We have the holidays coming up SUPER quick and I am determined to find a job soon that will help out more with our finances.  I am ready to return back to the work force.  I just am going stir crazy.  I signed up to sell Miche purses with a friend and it just seems to not be for me.  I put my all in it at first and then saw that this is not going to get me anywhere so I lost interest.  I love Miche products but realized that with this economy that people are not buying "extra" things because times are tough.  I can understand that and relate.

So again I believe things happen for a reason and better things are in store for me..........

Stay tuned for great news  :)

My favorite time of year

Even though this is my favorite time of the year,  I really enjoy fall weather and look forward to it cooling down and well that is not the case on this first day of October.  Its ok at least it is not over 100,  I am ready for cuddling on the couch with my honey and a cup of hot tea, coffee or hot cocoa.  I am ready for a fire in the fire place.  I am sooo ready for baking yummy food and well hopefully not gaining anymore weight.  LOL  I have a few recipes already planned out that have to do with "fall" and Halloween.  I am sooo excited to try new recipes and I am LOVING my new jars for canning.  I want to share my recipes and what I make with my friends and family (well those that want to try my new recipes) and I found these jars at Walmart we use for canning our homemade pickles and I LOVE them.  They are super cute.  I made my first 2 jars of honey butter,  that is a HUGE hit in our home.  My girls and Steve LOVE honey butter.  I made blueberry muffins and banana nut muffins and they ate the honey butter on them.  Next I am going to make corn bread with the honey butter. :)  mmmmm Yummy!

I also love this time of year because I love the holidays and October starts off our holidays with Halloween,  although I have never really been a huge fan of Halloween,  I still LOVE to see my kids enjoying it.  I really love the pumpkin patches and Apple Hill,  just never understood why all the candy.  LOL  I try and keep my kiddos out of the dentist and cavity free. :)  I always get excited and soooo look forward to our annual trip to Bishops Pumpkin Patch.  It is by far my favorite pumpkin patch,  we have been to many around the area and Bishops is by far the funnest and my kiddos agree.

I am not sure what my girls want to be for Halloween this year.  I know Hannah is wanting to be like a zombie bride or zombie cheerleader but that changes day to day with her.  hehe  I look forward to taking them costume shopping.  Although it can be chaotic and indecisive but that makes it even more fun.  LOL   I am also very happy that my husband gets to spend Halloween with us this year.  We have been together over 4 years and have never got to spend a Halloween together.  So he will get to go out with us.  :)  YAY!  We go every year to the local church in Lincoln to the trunk or treat.  Maybe this year we will change it up.  Hmmm not sure.  My girls LOVE the trunk or treat.  They have games, haunted house and bounce houses.  It is cool.  So happy the holidays are upon us... can't wait to have family time and create memories.
