Remembering

"Can do. With willing hearts and skillful hands; the difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. With compassion for others we build, we fight, for peace with freedom."

Seabee Song

Words by Sam M. Lewis

Music by Peter de Rose

We're the Seabees of the Navy

We can build and we can fight

We'll pave the way to victory

And guard it day and night

And we promise that we remember

The "Seventh of December"

We're the Seabees of the Navy

Bees of the Seven Seas

The Navy wanted men

That's where we came in

Mister Brown and Mister Jones

The Owens, the Cohens and Flynn

The Navy wanted more

Of Uncle Sammy's kin

So we all joined up

And brother we're in to win.

My husband is a Seabee. I am proud to be his wife and I am proud to be a military wife. Click here to learn more about the Navy Seabees.

Mineo Stamp Club Flashback

This is a simple aluminum can made beautiful. Using a safety can opener the lid was removed, then the food was eaten, can was cleaned and dried. Then made beautiful with paper, ribbon and stamps. Great to put a gift in or use as a pen holder.

Pancakes!

I am always starving when I get home from the gym! Pancakes sure sound good. Any tips to avoid gym induced starvation? Please, I may drown in syrup!

AND THE WINNER IS...

New Shoes!

I got new shoes!
They are hot pink and white.
They are super comfy.
I want to wear them every where.
They are running shoes.

Running? Shoes? Me? Yes.

I was on the track team in high school. Does anyone believe this fact? It was 15 years ago. I have pictures somewhere. I swear.

We were at Dick's Sporting Goods (buying hubs a mountain bike) and I decided I wanted running (?!?!?!) shoes. I have super low, almost flat arches. I need lots of support. I saw these and kind of jokingly tried them on just to see what the deal was. I chose the white shoe with HOT PINK zigzag! Too cute! and a little funky!

Ahhhhhhh, so comfy. So stable. No ankle rolling in these babies.

I've NEVER spent $100 on any pair of shoes... especially running shoes! But these are gonna change my life! (Gosh, I really hope so!)

The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY

Outside my window... birds chattering and sounding twitterpated.
I am thinking... about my husband's eye surgery on Friday.
I am thankful for... my mri being over!
From the learning rooms... only a few months left and hubs will have his BA!
From the kitchen... left-overs and lofty goals.
I am wearing... comfy-ness.
I am creating... a journal for a special little one.
I am going... to consider part-time employment.
I am reading... Sacred Marriage, last day is Wednesday. Then I think I'll start some Frank Peretti.
I am hoping... this humidity goes away.
I am hearing... nick jr.
Around the house... boys and their toys.
One of my favorite things... when things fall into place.
A few plans for the rest of the week: Joshua's check up, PWOC, Jason's eye surgery, craft/photoshop time.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

A Verse For You

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
—Galatians 2:20

Trying something new…

Jolanthe over at No Ordinary Moment and Homeschool Creations told me about something that I think will be fantastic. I am testing it out for the first time and like it a lot. It is called Windows Live Writer. It basically makes a blogger’s life easier. I am going to use it for the next week or so and then I’ll let you know how I really feel about it.
