Wow!! 21Years!!!!

     In October of this year we celebrated 21 year of marriage.  We have been through many ups and downs.  We have seen happniess and sorrow.  Through it all we have put God first, our relationship second and our family third.  We first and formost must put Gid first in our lives and in our relationship.  We then must work on our relationship, we need ot choose daily to choose the other.  To put their needs above our own, to communicate with them.  To pray for your spouse,  to pray over them, and with them.  "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." - Ephesians 5:31.  We we chose to put our husband first we are living our God plan for marriage.  God is very spacific about His plan for a Godly marriage.  That plan looks very diffrent than the worlds idea of marriage. The world views marriage as something that can be disposable,  when you get board with your marriage you can just end it.  God's plan is for you to be married for life, to walk with your husband and for the both of you to walk with God.  I felt lead to share my heart about this.  Here is to the first 21 years of marriage and the faith and hope of many more to come.


Until Next Time,

Nine Months at My New Job!!!!

I can't believe it has been nine months at my new teaching job.  Back in late January, Marshall and I decided I should start looking for a new teaching position.  I quit my last teaching position for quite a few reason I don't want to share.  I will share that it was in part for my own metal health and for the benifits that my new teaching position provides for our family.  I was offered a Lead Pre-K Teacher Position at our local university's childcare.  It has been the best decision for myself, my family, and my career.  I am enjoying writing my own lesson plans and I am withh the age group I enjoy most.  I am getting my young students ready for Kindergarten.  As an added benfit of being on campus we have student workers as our assisant teachers.  So I also have the privilege of mentoring the next generation of teachers.  I have amazing suport from our directors and from the other lead teachers.  We are truly a team thats focous in on the kids and what is best for them.  I fell like I am heard and my ideas are valued.  I have the freedom to teach what I want and how I want.  As we near the end of our fall semester, I want to share with you some fun photos of my classroom.
One of my kids favorite Math and Science Area Materal, the marbel run.
We made the dramatic play area into an apple orchard and bee yard.  The kids had so much fun when we had a themed dramtic play area.  
I can't be more excited to share more of the fun things I have planed for the classroom.

Until Next Time,

Review of Creative Culture

      So Kezi and I had a little girls time earlier this month.  We tried out a DIY Art Studio in Downtown Omaha.  We loved all of the DIY projects you could do.  We will defiantly be going back, they also change out the DIY's you can do.  Kezi choose a wood door sign to DIY and I did a DIY kit they had.  Price wise was not to bad.  They have everything you need right there for you to use, plus they clean up for you.  For our two project we paid about $50, but there is a wide range in pricing.  It was nice we had the place to ourself that night, but we tried to check it our a couple of week before and could not find a table.  We give it five stars.

Until Next Time,

Review of Cibo Vino

 For date night my husband and I tried Cibo Vino.  This a newer restaurant in the Old Market opening in 2023.  We started our meal with a Charcuterie Board.  For my entre I had Panzanella and Gnocchi Alla Pesto and my husband had Neapolitan Calamari.  We also tried a red wine, Roscato Dolce "sweet red" from Trebenezie Italy.  The atmosphere was great, good for dates.  We like some of the food, we are going to try it again soon, but try some of the other dishes.  I think we would give this a 6 out of 10 for now, we are hoping to try something else next time and like more of the food.

Review of Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen and Bar

 So I an starting a new section on this page of reviewing restaurants in our area. The first restaurant I am going to review is Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen and Bar.  We started with their house made fried pickles, cast iron pimento cheese dip, and fried green tomatoes.  For the main course my husband ordered the chicken and waffles, my daughter ordered hot chicken sandwich, and I ordered lemon garden party salad.  Over all we loved the food.  They have flavored soda that is house made.  My family would rate it 9 out of 10.

Organizing Our Linden Closet

So as we settle into our new place we have been trying to find a place for everything. As I started to unpack our bathroom boxes I just kind of threw things on the shelves without thought. After a couple of weeks I finally took the time to plan out how I wanted to organize the linen closet.  So here are the before and after pictures.

The Durham Museum

 I got a rare day off for Martin Luther King Jr. day.  So my daughter and I decided to go to one of the local museums.  We had the chance to meet up with friends,  we saw some amazing traveling exhibits and we loved learning more about our city in the museums permeate exabits. 

One of the traveling exhibits is from the movie White Christmas.  It was so much fun to see original costumes and props from a movie that I have seen so many times.  
















It was so interesting to see how tiny the actresses were during 
filming.


Sisters! Sisters! I love this song and it was cool to see the costumes for it.








They also had a traveling exhibit about Julia Child 

The had a replica of her stage kitchen and so many videos and photos about her life and career. 






The traveling exhibits are not the only thing to see.  They have great permeant exhibit. 



If you ever get in chance to visit The Durham you will be in for real treat.
