Fun memories

I grew up with 5 siblings--1 sister and 4 brothers! I'm the oldest and my sister is basically in the middle. She and one of my brothers are twins! I have tons of fun memories from when we were growing up! I was born in Cleveland, OH and moved to South Carolina when I was nearly 16! I was in marching band in high school in Ohio and loved it! We were the Bedford Bearcats! I played the clarinet! I wish I could find a picture of our uniforms! They were so cool! If I ever do find a picture, I will plan to put it up on here!

Natural health

I've been into natural healing and herbs and vitamins for several years! Recently somebody told me about a natural allergy  medicine that has really helped me! Before that I was basically burning through allergy medicine all the time and was feeling horrible. After I started taking Sinusalia, I started feeling worlds better and I've been able to drastically cut down how often I take it! I've also been thinking about the essential oils a lot and was curious about them. A friend gave me some samples today and David and are already feeling much better and feeling a huge difference!

Refreshing time!

When we were up in Missouri, we got to go on a riverboat ride on the Meramac River. That was really relaxing! It was right next to the Meramac Caverns where Jesse James and his gang hid out. We saw the caverns last time we were up in Missouri! I absolutely love history--therefore I found it really fascinating that Jesse James and his gang hid out there! Here is a picture I got on our way back from the riverboat ride! You can see the outside of the caverns in the background!

Memorial Day

I'm so thankful for those who have served our country and the sacrifice they've made! My grandfathers both served and my dad also! All four of my brothers have also served--3 of them are still in the military! My husband's dad and his grandparents were both in the military also! After David's grandmother passed at the end of January--beginning of February, we learned that David's grandmother was a Rosie the Riveter! David's dad was in several different branches of the military over the course of several years!

Rejuvenating weekend!

We had a relaxing getaway this weekend! We went to Missouri for a couple of days! On the way up there, we stopped in Mansfield, MO where Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote the Little House on the Prairie books! My parents gave me the set of books for Christmas when I was a child! I also loved watching the series on TV! The houses there where the Wilders lived are so peaceful! They said that the farmhouse the Wilders lived in is like how it was when Laura Ingalls Wilder died!

Traveling

My husband and I love to travel! We prefer driving because we see so much beautiful scenery and everything! We also like to travel at night because traffic isn't so bad. :) we have started doing a few smaller trips thoughout the year and at Christmas and during the summer before it gets busy at work we go on summer vacation. If I remember right, I think I also loved to travel as a child! 

This is all so new to me! I've never blogged before, but I love to write! I'm the oldest of 6 kids and I was born in the Cleveland, OH. I consider myself a transplanted Southerner. I moved to South Carolina when I was almost 16. I went to college in Texas and settled here in Texas after I got married. I have a dog named Lady! I love to cook and I have found some good recipes on Pinterest! More later--it's pretty late! Goodnight!
