Question

Do you remember your 1st Bible? Do you remember who gave it to you, what it looked like?

We are in the middle of SUCH a wonderful series at church and this was a question today in our bulletin. Just thought I'd put it out there.

We have such a busy month ahead of us. We are BOTH going to be so completely ready for stinking Mexico by the time it gets here ;)

This next weekend will be an Abilene adventure in hopes that my Chesney girl makes it through the semi-finals to her 1A basketball State Goal. We then go to State the next weekend in Austin...woo hoo! So I have a Sale Mtg., get up EAAAAAARLY to leave for Austin, win state, return home as soon as we can and then lead Community Group discussion that night. This should all work out perfectly...but I'm hoping it runs as smoothly as I have it in my head....ha! I see LOTS of drowsiness in my future ;)

We had a pretty good weekend. I wasn't feeling too hot on Friday so we watched movies. Saturday we had to go to a funeral and I had a rough time during and after. Michael had a site visit with a client after the funeral...still struggling on my end. We picked up the kids, ate a quick bite and headed to our Community Group. I love our Community Group....they are SO important to me. We had a WONDERFUL church service today and such a smooth run in the Wiggler room....thank goodness we've graduated some kiddos, our room was becoming PURE chaos! Today was nice and calm and I didn't come home a little crazy...ha! We had a GREAT stinkin' lunch, took some naps and then made sushi for dinner. Talk about a good, didn't go as planned weekend...ha ha!

Goals for 2020

So after thinking through this for a while, I've decided to bring this back into my life.  I love to write, I love to express myself and share recipes.  SO...this blog may not always look pretty...it might get messy, because that's life, and I'm too old to pretend it's not.   Goals for 2020: To continue to search for what feeds my soul and not harms it. I'm going to keep up with my health goals and make it another year of weight maintenance.  Walking starts again.  Not about needing to lose, I like everything a bit tighter.  So there you go.  I'm not athletic, I do not LIKE working out.  But I do like walking because of the moment to take a breath and enjoy being outside and listening to good music 💓 I wanted to commit to living my truth...if I say be kind...that means I have to drop some guards and also do just that.  There's been a couple relationships over the years that I wanted to circle back to this year.  Both hav...

Award Winning Salsa

Well…it won an award in my family 🤣 This blog has seen MANY salsa recipes. I LOVE salsa. I’m always trying to perfect my recipe so I tried some different things yesterday and BAM….I mean wowza BAM!!!! Jayme’s Award Winning 😉 Salsa 2lbs Tomatillo, husked and washed and halved 2 Jalapeño, washed, halved, seeded if you’re a wuss.  1 Serrano, washed, remove stem 1 red onion, quartered 1 Lg Tomato 1 Bunch Cilantro 2 Tbs minced garlic  Salt  On a large baking sheet lay out your tomatillos, peppers and onion. Cover the bottom of the pan Chicken stock or water. I also drizzled a little olive oil.  Put in a 350 oven for 75-90 minutes.  Let cool down a bit and throw everything in a food processor.  Holy. Moly. Very restaurant like. Maybe a Cantina Laredo or Haciendas Ranch feel to it. So. Good.  I like it warm so when I go to get it out of the fridge, I just throw in the microwave for a sec.  SO good!

Perpetual diets and a soul change....

I feel like all my life, I've been on a perpetual diet.  Seriously.  Pretty much every day of my life has been a choice.  Some days/months/years I do great.  Others....not so much. I've never been one of those girls.  You know...the ones that always just pulled it off.  Looks, weight, clothes.  Nope.  That is not me.  I've also always had skinny friends.  They ate the same things as me...but I'd notice on me and never on them.  I think I've always aspired in some way to be each of them.  Hell, maybe they keep me in check so I don't ever let myself go to much?  That's some deep thinking stuff! What a funny life.  Then, I had my jaw surgery.  Long recovery.  Long, hard, painful recovery.  I think I just gave myself a pass for the last couple of years.  Because I can tell you...I hadn't been too worried about my weight since then. So.  I had a picture taken of me on August 17th.  As ...
