FINALLY!!

It is June 13th and we FINALLY got finished up with beans today!  Or as a farmer will always tell you, "for the first time, anyway!"  The following pictures were taken the last time we were in the field planting beans (I guess that was May 24 according to my camera).  We were just 65 acres shy of being done before all the rain came at us!





 
 
 
 
This is the latest in my married life (that I can remember) that it has been this late getting the crops in.  I know my husband will be so much happier now that it is finally done.  Now to finish custom side-dressing and custom spraying!  Well I guess that is part of the reason you have a hired man to help get all those things done!!  Although we got a lot of rain and it's been a long drawn out planting season I am secretly happy for the wet days.  I've had my husband around!!  We've enjoyed a few weekends of date night, he has helped a ton with the basement demo, we've shared several lunches at home together and he has even joined us for other things he would normally miss out on!  So, to me, all that rain was a little blessing in disguise!  Don't tell him I said that!  For now we will celebrate having all the crops in (for the first time)!

Grieving Still

I love to read other people's blogs.  Sometimes I get neat ideas from them or at other times it's just fun to hear what is going on in that particular family.  I few months after TJ passed away I received an email from a friend of the family's to check out a certain blog.  This particular family had just lost their 15 year old son to pancreatic cancer.  I decided to go back to their caringbridge page to read more about their journey.  There were some similarities and some major differences, however, we have both experienced the loss of our sons WAY too early.  I love to read her blog because I can totally relate with her.  I almost feel as if everything she shares are my feelings as well.  She shared something on her blog the other day (something someone else had shared with her) and I hope you all don't take this the wrong way, (I'm sorry in advance) but  Our transition is still a grieving one. They are SPOT ON! I thought I’d share them with you. I’ve heard it a th

Welcome

Welcome to our blog!  This has been more work than I thought it was going to be and I still have more work to do.  I think I'll just keep working on it a little bit at a time until I get it the way I want - SO it might look different every time you check it out.  Who knows!  I thought I'd create a blog for you to keep up with us instead of checking on caringbridge everytime.  I don't know how often I will update.  Just know that I will be sharing our life with you as it is without TJ.  Some topics might be just the everyday things our family is experiencing - school, holidays, vacations, etc.  And at other times I might be sharing my heart.  Follow along if you wish to know how we are doing, what we are doing and ways you can pray for our family.  See you soon!

The Basement Reveal!

Image
This post is long overdue - pictures of the basement.  We have since added the boys beds, living room furniture and toys.  There are still a few more things yet to bring in, buy or add - but for the most part it is DONE and we are enjoying it!  Still have to put up some trim in the entry way and living room  The upstairs bathroom needs to be finished and putting the office and now spare room back together.  Otherwise our project should be finished.  It seems like it has been a process - but it sure is nice - so glad we were able to do it!    The stairway down - we opened up the stairway two stairs.  Need the railing back on yet.       The hallway between the bedrooms, bathroom and laundry room.     The family room - this side has the tv, and furniture.  I didn't take a picture of the other half - that is the toy side.   The laundry room.  Still waiting for a counter top for the south wall.          The bathroom.
