I’m forgoing Forgiveness Friday in lieu of Bragging About My Husband Friday. Today’s a big day. Big. Today he graduates from the Police Academy. He’s already a certified peace officer (as established by finishing his 11 week course, which ended with him going 2 minutes with a MMA fighter who just happened to be his […]
It’s been a while, it seems, since this post, so here goes. I’m thankful that: *My Grandfather is doing well. Still having some side effects from his blood thinner, but is showing no ill effects from the stroke. *My husband graduates from the Police Academy tomorrow. He’s been beaten up, pepper sprayed, shot with “simu-nition” […]
Life goes on, which is a good thing! Here’s how things have been going since life happened this past week. My Grandfather is doing better. He is still in the hospital, but not because of the stroke. He has no residual effects from the stroke, and his spinal stenosis was healed as well when Pastor […]
Frugal Accomplishments: *The usual–used homemade laundry detergent, hung clothes on the line to dry, ate leftovers for lunch, packed snacks and such to avoid eating out when we were away from home, heated with and cooked on the wood stove, and kept things turned off and unplugged to save electricity. *Used a Living Social deal […]
I’m thankful that: *My MIL had successful surgery to place stints in her heart to open up a 100% blockage, and the doctor was able to remove all the blockage. I’m also thankful that God kept her safe and healthy until this procedure could be done. *My Mom took on kid duty for a few […]
There’s something nice and relaxing about seeing clean laundry hanging on a clothesline. It makes me happy. It’s simple. It’s uncomplicated. It’s just what it is: clean laundry soaking up the sun, swaying in the breeze. It makes me forget the rat race that I feel like I’m in so much of the time. It […]
Well, folks, it’s Tuesday night, and I’m trying to think of something brilliant to write. Something awe inspiring or inspiring or just not boring. Something that will catch your attention at 6:00am EST when it posts. But I can’t. I had a thought this morning, based on Psalm 37. It was good, and I thought […]
What does it mean to be a law enforcement officer’s wife? I don’t know what it’s like to be a police officer’s wife yet, but I do know what it’s like to be a detention officer’s wife and a police cadet’s wife. I’ve read tons of blog and facebook posts on being an LEOW, and […]
What if, when we recited our marriage vows, we actually said “I do, until I don’t. I do, but only until you make me mad. I do, but really, I might not.”? Why would anybody get married if that was actually what vows included? While the words may not be spoken, too many brides and […]
The other night, I was watching my hubs get all his gear and clothes and assorted stuff together for the police academy the next morning. He was in his usual pre-shower attire–basketball shorts and a t-shirt, and I commented to him about how much bigger his muscles have gotten from the daily workouts and such. […]
