I really love good pasta. When we lived state-side it was always a treat to buy a package of gourmet tortellini—mmmm. Since that is impossible to come by in our little market town in Mexico, I’ve had to improvise!
Actually I never thought of making my own pasta until one night I walked into the mission [...]
We had two girls very close in age, waited a few years then had two more girls very close in age. It’s funny how similar number 1 and 3 are to each other and even CRAZIER how similar number 2 and 4 are to each other! I came across these pictures recently…it’s like deja vu!!
Chris rotates taking each of our girls out on a daddy date every few weeks or so. They get so excited for this time with Daddy! I think it’s so special and so important for our girls to have this time to connect with him.

I’m just sharing because it’s not too terribly late in case you want to make a midnight run to Walmart! I figure if I bring in a little something first thing [...]
This past weekend I had the wonderful privilege of going to a missionary womens’ retreat in the city.
It was great getting to meet other ladies living similar lives as well as just to get out of the house, enjoy some quiet time with the Lord and relax some too.
I feel like I got so filled [...]
I’m really on a role here. Not sure why but I just feel like spewing all my problems on the internet so there’s no way for me to go back to pretending everything is fine. Hopefully it works.
