Embarking on a New Adventure
My family and I will be preparing for a big change this week - my husband gave his notice at his job and will be staying home while I go to work! He will be a stay at home dad and take over all of the cooking and cleaning, some of the work on our home business, and will have a lot more time to spend with our daughter.
We both decided that this was going to be a great move on our part - we will all have more time together and more time for ourselves, as well. My husband will enroll in college in the fall and I will have more time to play piano.
The money will be sparse, but we both agreed that our time is far, far more important than money.
Since I have so much to be thankful for, and since it is Thanksgiving, I wanted to do a stream-of-consciousness post on 101 things I’m thankful for. I thought about ordering them at first, but that just didn’t seem right somehow.
1. Natasha, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha, Natasha; my sweetest of sweets daughter. I’ve been ‘in love’ [...]

I couldn’t sleep this morning - I was wide awake at 4:00 and couldn’t get back. I tried the usual plane crash daydreams but to no avail… so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to start my new regime.
I’d been planning to make some changes this week anyway and was falling behind, so really, [...]
if you’ll believe in anything.
I took a rare week night out with my sis and her husband to go see Wolf Parade at The Marquee in Tulsa tonight - it was the best show I’ve seen in years.
First we stumbled out of the T-storms & tornadoes into “Lola’s,” a dia de los muertos themed tapas bar [...]
It felt like my family and I spent the whole of October celebrating Halloween; or at least celebrating the cool weather and the orange backdrop of fall, as well as out-of-town family & friends coming and going.
Our family loves fall anyway and we always get an early start on the festivities… this year it started [...]
Well - I may not have produced the world’s greatest modern mosaics, but I did end up with three little pieces of color and awkwardness that I like enough to display in my decor. Plus going to art class was really a nice segway from the office.
So here’s what I made - three tree-themed smalti [...]
The OKC Art Museum is just wrapping up their Roman Art from the Louvre exhibition and my family and I made sure we cought it while it was in town. While we found this to be interesting, what we all really enjoyed were the modern art collections that the museum houses, especially the Dale Chihuly blown glass [...]
Good for you guys. Hope God blesses your decision to put family first! =)
