Hello and welcome to my page!

I am a 40-something mom, wife, widow, wife-again, who's makin' like the Allman Brothers and Tryin'a make a livin', doin' the best I can. Never one to fluff it up, I'll give you the run-down of my average-ness:

My 2 kids went to public school and while they are mostly wonderful, there's a deep jerkish, hilariously sarcastic vein in them each and I have the grey hairs to prove it. My jeans are much larger than I'd like, my dogs occasionally pee on my carpet, and for the love of purple, do NOT look in my Tupperware cabinet. I was raised in a very small Wyoming town, and my family's idea of dinner conversation is reviewing the entire genealogy of the new math teacher in town who moved back home to work after college..... "oh and how about that new cattle-guard in the neighbor's driveway? Guess he's made of money".   I've been a nurse since the 90's, and I've wiped more butts than Charmin. My late husband was a lumber-jack-of-a-guy, who's legendary quick wit and short temper are largely (a word I can use because He's in Heaven and unable to rebut) responsible for that "vein" I referred to in my kids. He was the best of Dads and we miss him everyday.  I firmly believe that he cooperated with God and played a role in my now-marriage coming to be and I love them each eternally.

I'll put "Daughter of the Most High" at the top of my descriptors, which sounds pretty impressive...because it is, but not on my merit. I love Jesus and like, a bunch of other people too.  Walking through the trials of life has brought me into a close communion with my Lord and Savior and as much as some of those trials have threatened my flesh's ability to hang on to it... God has authored and sustained my faith through it all.  It hasn't all been pretty, and I have failed more times than I can count, but faith in God is where my truth lives.

My home has recently become kid-free, after sending the youngest to college. In an effort to adjust, and quite frankly, to do something productive with my now mostly peanut-butter-free hands, I'm #gettintrendywithit and starting a blog. I love to write, I love to travel, I love to worship, I love to eat, and I love to laugh - all of which you'll read about here. I feel a need in my gut to tell this story and my prayer is someone else's guts need it too. My hope is that while we're together you can, at the very least figuratively, kick off your shoes, slide your bra off through your sleeve, (when applicable), and curl up with me for a few minutes to laugh, cry, examine, grieve, reflect and realize. Much love and peace to each of you as we walk through this together.
