Life.....

So , Its been awhile since I have blogged! I guess I haven't had much to say...or haven't had the time! I am not sure which! Its definitely winter here! Snow covering everything, and cold temperatures! Everyday I am thankful for my wood stoves! It seems kind of humorous to me the whole wood burning process...( i guess its like any process) but you cut the wood, split it, stack it , burn it..and then start all over again! It seems to me that it goes faster and easier than it does to get it! I guess thats the way with things in life! But I am truly thankful for all that God has given us...a nice, warm, and cozy home! ( someday i hope it actually gets finished!)For several months my husband has been working two jobs, carpentry and a corrections officer, last month his carpentry job ended. And i realized that if he didn't have the corrections job that we would have no income now! Construction is slow in the winter ,especially with this economy. I am just so thankful that my husband has a steady, reliable job! God has surely blessed us, and He never gives us more than we can handle! And even when times get tough, He always gets us through!

Until recently I could have cared less about politics..I cared, but it wasn't like it is now...I think once I had children I realized that all the decisions that are made wont just affect me, but my children and such. In my state, we recently voted on the "same-sex marriage" issue..thankfully "traditional marriage " won...only by a few percent.My husband and I may not have a choice in where we send our children to school, we hope that we can send them to christian school..but that quite expensive, and we dont have that many choices in our area..so we might have to send our kids to public school..and if thats the case, if the same sex marriage had passed our children would be hearing that its "okay" for a man to marry a man, or a woman to marry a woman. Thats isn't something that I am prepared to deal with my soon to be in school son!

I guess what has gotten me on the issue of politics this morning, is that I just finished reading Sarah Palin's book. I know that alot of people weren't a big fan of her..but I loved her. She had passion and fresh ideas, and I wished that she would have been given more of a chance to speak her ideas!After reading her book, I realized how much the RNC and even Mccain's campaign tried to keep her quiet, and such. If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it!

I suppose I have rambled on enough and need to finishe getting ready for church! The kids and I are super excited...my husband is going to church with us this morning! He hasn't been able to go with us recently where he works nights..and needs more than 3 hours of sleep before heading off to church! I think today is going to be a good day! A whole day with my husband and children! And its even sunny outside! Cold, but sunny!
