Ramblings toward our future...

Research is always fun! I get the opportunity to research things for work on a regular basis, but now I have the opportunity to do some research to determine the next best steps for our family. At this point we are weighing our options. Is Florida the best place for us, or are we headed to North Caolina? Only time will tell. In the mean time, we will do research to find out a few things:

Can Mackenzie still Virtual school?
Will Madison keep her IEP?
Where can we afford to live?
Where do we want to be?
What is best for us.

As we continue working through the process, we will update here, but it is going to be a long process, so I won't bore you with the details there!

On our path to making a decision, we know there is one thing we must do. We have to commit to becoming debt free. We need to adopt the principle to Live like no one else lives now, so that we can live, and give, like no one else in the future.

To do this, we will commit to the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University. Our first steps are coming in the coming days and weeks. I will post a little along the way about this path we are embarking upon. It will be an interesting ride for sure!

In the mean time, may you have a blessed weekend!

The importance of connections

Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways. Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
