Blog Name Change!

I've changed the name of the blog!  It was necessary!  As you all know, I've been in a relationship for the past 19 months.  GB is an amazing man, and I don't want people to think that I'm single anymore.  I haven't been for quite some time.  However, until today, I couldn't figure out HOW to change the name of my blog!  HA!  I'm a bit computer illiterate, so please bear with me as I figure this out!

There will be more to come, in our lives together, and as I am able to share information, I will.  Please continue to think about us, and pray for us, as some big life changes are in play at this time..

Productive

Today, I am feeling very productive.  Seriously, though, for me, productive days like this are pretty few and far between.  I've made bread, and just took it out of the oven, dinner is simmering on the stove, laundry is in progress, and I've submitted my first party for my new Thirty One business.  I'm excited about the new business!  I haven't done anything like this in a long time.  However, as much as I purchase Thirty One Products, I may as well sell them.  Libby even has her own 31 bag, with her name on it!  HA!

Gam is watching football and NASCAR!  It makes him happy, even if I don't quite understand NASCAR.  It just looks like all they do is make left turns to me.  I think he likes the crashes, although, Joey Lagano is the driver he hates the most, so if Lagano gets hit, he's even happier!  HA HA!

Libby's been limping lately, and favoring her right front paw.  We can't see anything, the vet can't see anything wrong with her either, so she has a pain medication. The dog is silly,l though, as she will run like crazy down to the fence line to bark at the neighbor's dogs, and when her daddy yells at her, she holds up that paw, and the limps over.  Drama Queen!  She cracks us up these days.  There is just something about dogs that make me happy.  Hopefully, we'll be able to add another one to our family soon.

With the weather and temperature changes, my body is not very happy.  Rain and cold make me miserable, and my back pain is pretty high.  I'm still maintaining my health's status quo, and so am good, just chronic pain issues.  I've dealt with those symptoms for so long, that extra pain, during the Fall and Spring tend to surprise me, as the pain can reach such high levels now.

Hoping that my readers (the few of you who read my blog) are doing well!

What a difference a year makes!

I have uploaded the TimeHop app to my phone.  It's a cool little app that shows statuses and photos that I posted to Facebook on a given day, in the years past.  I enjoy being able to look back and see where I've been.  This past week has had some interesting posts.

As I look back, I realize that GB and I have been in the Frederick house for a full year.  This time last year, we were doing the major house cleaning.  A year ago, I posted here about the Great House Clean-Up of 2013.  WOW!

I fully remember the frustration of cleaning this house.  The five full days of cleaning the kitchen, the 2 full days on just scrubbing out a bathtub.  I'm amazed at how much we've done, and how much we accomplished in two short weeks.  The house still looks great, and we finally have the basement in some semblance of order.  Just 2 room left to clean out, and deliver boxes to rightful owners.

This year, we're looking at possible moves out of state, due to GB's job hunt.  We're not exactly sure where yet, but we've got a good idea.  When we know for sure, I'll post it.  If you pray, please pray for guidance for us, as we have a pretty big decision to make.

I've started a 31 business, and since I'm crazy about bags and organization, this is right up my alley.  It's also a portable business, so that helps.  It'll get me out of the house on occasion, and allow for me to make friends wherever we're going.

So, all of this to say, that GB is still a wonderful leader, he challenges me to take the high road, even when it's REALLY difficult for me to do so.  The past week's TimeHop have reminded me of this, and of how much he does love me, and wants what's best for our relationship.  I'd follow this man anywhere.
