Yes, I said it... SNOW! Ok, so it wasn't anywhere near us, but it was in the state! Up to 4 inches in some places.That's as bad as your creepy relatives knowing what town you live in... they don't have your address exactly, but their in the vicinity & scouting around. SCARY!   Hwy 81 Sunrise  So, no snow for us yet, but it is decidedly cooler out with several days of lows below

I Love to Cook, but more so I Love to Eat! Which is probably a pretty good thing on both counts considering i live in the middle of nowhere, so a meal means i have to cook! Lately I've been on an easy, quick-fix, kick. So any shortcuts i can take, I do! Especially since the days are getting shorter, and the husband is spending more time at the elevator with harvest right now. Quick & Easy is

Religion is not usually something i write about, but today is a little different. Its not exactly religion per say... but there are definitely religious undertones i guess. Let me explain... Some background: I was raised in a Christian household (ELCA to be exact) and grew up very involved in the church all through junior high and high school. I served on many boards and committees

August has been jam packed with so many things. This month i had a visit from my father and brother, i visited a friend while traveling for business, and managed to cook up a storm this month. Well, if not cook it myself... i sure managed to eat some delicious grub this month. Hubby's Masterpiece The usual visits to Toad's for a salmon dinner occurred of course, but for the most part hubby

I am feeling very creative today with lots of energy.... it could be the rather large Starbucks espresso + energy drink i had this morning... or it could just be a little extra Tuesday morning energy. Either way, lets chat! It is a gorgeous August day in Nebraska today! This time of the year is usually 90+ degrees and 80% humidity, but with the weather pattern being totally different this

So... yes, it's been awhile. So much has been going on in the last few months i don't know where to begin. I won't bore you with a detailed catch up, but i will promise to become more regular with my writing. I'm a creature of habit, so once i get into a habit it is hard to get out.... with that being said I've set up reminders to keep me on task and track with the creative process of writing.

This summer I'm going to do something great! I'm going to grow a garden! Easy? Right? It can be easy if you make it that way, but sticking to simple and enjoyable has always been a challenge for me. I get these great plans, like a garden, and in my mind i build them into these grandiose dreams and visions... which require lots of work.  Thankfully, as mentioned in a previous blog, i

I cannot believe it has been over 3 months since I've written any posts! My life has been crazy busy, but crazy good since starting my new job in January. I love the atmosphere and attitude where I work, I'm doing things that I really get something out of (finally), and my home life is great. (No travelling 4 days a week anymore!) See the picture for a view of my plant out my office window,

As i mentioned briefly in yesterday's post, I have a new job! I'm really excited about this opportunity, but it is a scary change at the same time. There are a lot of factors that go into a job change, but for my husband and i the biggest reason was separation. Sounds kinda odd, more separation in a marriage, but we were both working at the same company, in similar jobs, in a really small office.

Why is it that everywhere you look, everywhere you turn, everything you hear during this time of year is all about having the perfect Holiday Season? I mean really, perfection? Not even possible! I just get so irritated with the idea of perfection, how about the idea of fun, happy, & togetherness. OK, so I'm not the prime example of this because i get a little stressed about all of the

My husband and I recently completed a long tour of duty during harvest.... long hours, excessive dust and dirty work, irregular eating habits, lack of sleep, and loss of communication with the outside world. What harvest really meant was no time for anything or anyone, including each other.  SO... what do you do to remedy this situation after harvest is done? Well you take a vacation! Road

It has been quite some time since i sat down to type, and you would think i would have something great to write about in all this time. Sadly, i have been so busy i have forgotten most of what has happened lately. What I do know is this... being this busy, this tied up, this crazy is NOT OK! In all the madness that is harvest, i have missed out on so many opportunities. Opportunities to build

Have you heard of the 7 deadly sins? Well, this should be one of them, Jealousy! Jealousy: a secondary emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of presenting emotions such as anger,

I am a planner! I just want to clarify that up front, I'm not trying to hide it. I am a planner! My mom is a planner, my best friends are planners, and I am a planner. I firmly believe that you can think anything through long enough to make it fit into a neat little plan.... Well, usually. Thanks to a certain man (my husband) I have begun to succumb to the sickening fact that maybe... just maybe

In my young life as an aspiring wife, mother, and career woman, I have always thought of myself as getting an education in "Growing Up". Not that I'm extremely good at acting grown up, but I like to think I've learned how to take care of myself, my responsibilities, my home, and now my husband. It seems the natural realm of things, to learn and grow and take on more "things".... Evidently I

Football: a noun.Google dictionary describes football as: a form of team game played in North America with an oval ball on a field marked out as a gridiron. Nebraskans describe it as: a passion, a display of honor, pride, & glory, a family tradition, and an example of athletic excellence. As a girl who grew up in a small town in Illinois that preached football so much I grew to hate it,

This past weekend, my husband and I journeyed back to my home state of Illinois for the long Holiday weekend. We had 3/4 of the day Saturday & all day Sunday to enjoy my family's company. And boy are they company. I say this because it always seems like something exciting has just happened every time I go home. This trip was no different. A friend of mine had just recently gotten a

Here is a short ode to the techno savvy world we now live in. Smartphone, I love you! When traveling i can easily map, search, and wind up at the best little restaurants around with just a few clicks of a button. New Computer, you are so awesome! Everything i could ever need is already built in and soooo easy to use. Internet, where would we be without you? I can use your wealth of information on

Here I am; early twenties, 5 foot 10 inches, blonde hair, blue eyes, married, and with a good job. I'm totally satisfied, right? The world has this perception that someone of my age has it so easy... no worries, no stress. HAHAHA! That's a funny joke. I try to laugh and smile at those who don't understand the awkward position a female is in at my age, but its kind of complicated. I wonder, am I

My wonderful husband & I tied the knot on June 11th, 2011. The happiest day of my life so far! At the wedding (a small gathering of friends and family) I was so nervous that I couldn't stop shaking my leg, even the dress couldn't hide it. It is funny because other than the little bead of perspiration on my husband's upper lip, you couldn't tell at all that he was even bothered. Just another

There are times in our lives, however young or old, that we ask ourselves "How did I get here?" It seems that I tend to ask myself this question more often than not, but the answers always seem to generate interesting ideas, solutions, or inspirations. I guess that's how I came to the decision to start writing.My purpose here is to share some of my life & the things I learn. I am a young
