I love to read!

I love to read! I've been reading since first grade and as a child it was hard for me to put a book down. At one time I had so many books that some friends had to convince me to give some of my books away--I was running out of space to put my books! So now I go through my books every now and then to see what I want to give away. I will sometimes take them to Half-price books. Now I also like getting e-books and sometimes I see offers for free e-books! It also makes it easier when traveling!

My Family

I'm the oldest of 6 kids. I've got 4 brothers and 1 sister. 3 of my brothers are currently in the military and the other one used to be in. Three of the military branches are covered --Air Force reserves, Coast Guard, and Army. My dad and grandfathers also used to be in.  Also my cousin and my uncle! I'm proud of all them and thankful for their service to our country! My  husband's dad  and his grandparents also. When we attended the funeral for David's grandma, we learned that she was a Rosie the Riveter! That is so cool! Also I think two of my husband's uncles were in the military.

I love history!

I totally love history! For as long as I can remember, I've had an interest in history! I love visiting old houses and learning the history of them! When I was a child and living in Ohio, my family visited President James Garfield's house. I loved it! It was so interesting! When my family moved to South Carolina, I discovered some other historical places! I could spend hours on end at the SC State museum! They even have antique cars there! I've visited the house where a former governor of South Carolina lived. I think his name was William Gist. He lived on Rose Hill plantation and he would take the river to Columbia,SC. Charleston, SC is totally awesome! It is completely drenched in history! It is so amazing walking the same streets they walked in the 1600's!

It's the weekend!!!!

Its the weekend and I am so excited!!!! This weekend Gateway Church's choir, which I am part of gets to help lead worship for our Grand Prairie campus' weekend services. Sunday night, we get to help lead worship at a night of worship that our Grand Prairie campus is having! It's going to be awesome!

Creativity

It's been a few days since I've blogged. Things just tend to get busy sometimes--it's all good! :) I decided to rename the title of my blog and the new title is actually a title that a close friend and family member came up with--Awesomesauce! Thanks True Faith! Tonight we had an awesome choir practice preparing for singing at Gateway Church's Grand Prairie campus on Sunday! Both for weekend services and a night of worship Sunday night! Can't wait! Can't wait to see how God is going to move!!!! :)

Weather

It was an unusual winter here in Texas this past winter. We had several winter weather events! The first one we had this past winter--it was actually late fall--it wasn't even winter yet. We were iced into our driveway and couldn't make it to work. I ended up decorating for Christmas that day!  A few days later, we were going to try sledding in the snow down the hill in our front yard, but the ice/snow was starting to melt. another time, I guess! :) I used to love going sledding in the snow when I was growing up in Ohio. I also want it get back into ice skating! I loved doing that in Ohio also!

Cooking

I love to cook! I made spaghetti tonight! I end up doing most of my homemade cooking on the weekends and Monday evenings!  I've also found some recipes on Pinterest that taste pretty good too! Sometimes I also make homemade bread and homemade ice cream! Cooking is just so enjoyable!
