Ultimate Blog Party 2012

Hi all,

Pardon me I’m running Late! It has been a very busy weekend and I have been away pretty much since Thursday Afternoon. I am so sorry I am late to the Party but my hubby and I wanted to invite you for what is left of it!

Welcome to our New home. We have been living here for about 2 months now and LOVE it!

My Hubby is a pastor here in our own little corner of New York state! We have four kids ranging in age from 6 1/2 to almost 2!

They bring such joy and sunshine and we love them dearly!

Come sit outside on our back porch and enjoy the view and the sounds!

Just imagine hearing turkeys, ducks, and geese…OH and the most heavenly sound EVER! PEEPERS!   What?? You don’t know what peepers are. Well they are small frogs that live in and near water. Basically they are tree frogs, and in case you didn’t know this I LOVE FROGS. We have even found one climbing on our house!

If you are around our house either early morning or at night fall you might just catch a glimpse of some deer and one even has a fawn.

Let me introduce myself. I am Mary. My hubby and I have been married for almost 9 years and as I mentioned before we have four kids and a chocolate lab who thinks he is a kid 🙂 I am into scrap-booking, card-making and pretty much ANYTHING crafty! I am an avid reader and I love to serve whenever and wherever possible!

We have been living in this part of NY for three years now and just LOVE it. This is my Blog:  Walking the Walk! It is the place where I journal about the ups and downs of our daily walk in Christ and though it has been sparse as of late due to our recent move I am slowly getting back into the swing of things! I have been blogging for four or five years now and I love it! It is my own personal little place to escape from all the stresses of life and connect and reconnect with friends!

Well I hope you have enjoyed your stay and POP in ANYTIME!. I love to entertain and have visitors!

Oh and if you have no clue what is going on here hop on over to 5 Minutes for mom and JOIN THE PARTY!!!! They are giving away tons of prizes and having lots of fun doing so!

Medication…

Posted on by Mary

It’s not kind to me…it never has been. The stuff that says non-drowsy is sure to knock me for a loop and the stuff that IS supposed to make you sleepy – LOOKOUT. As a kid allergy medicine made me unbearably grouchy and as an adult it makes me do some really stupid things…namely looking for the cereal in the microwave and today has been no different. It makes no sense…and neither has half of the things I have done today. But this makes me realize something. If medicine that is supposed to make me rest and get better has these adverse effects on me I need to made sure that everything I put into me isn’t going to change my behavior. Drugs alcohol and even TV and music…in more minor forms.

Getting Closer!

Hi all,

Just a quick update we have MOVED IN!!! The house isn’t fully complete BUT we have moved in. There is still a BUNCH of painting and some bathroom work to do though! Don’t worry we have fully functioning ones! 🙂

Pics are coming after the inspection NEXT WEEK! Wait until you see the Before and After! It’s amazing and we are feeling so very blessed AND the kids have adjusted better than I had ever expected! Thanks for praying for us!
