Milestones that make a lifetime


After searching for months..we came across a great opportunity. We are able to have a home built and customized just the way we want it. We are very excited at this opportunity. Just a few of the options we chose were granite counter tops, specific flooring (tiles and carpet), and appliances. We had a lot of fun at the studio where we got to choose everything and we are very excited to see everything start to go up.

We know that even buying a house is a major life event -- and its crazy to think that we are HERE now, at this location with the opportunity to buy.

Chad and I were just thinking, five years ago, never did we imagine ourselves here, now. Who knew we would've had the chance to live overseas, who knew we would've added to our family making a family of 4. WHO KNEW?!! It's amazing and beautiful how the Lord works in your lives, isn't it?

We laughed a little when we asked ourselves, "Who knows where we'll be in another 5 or 10 years?!" Who knows. We'll be where the Lord takes us. ;-)


Chad has been very busy with work...as he always is. Some might call him a workaholic. His hard work and dedication to taking care of our family doesn't go unnoticed. I feel so blessed to be his wife.. <3 LOVE!

Yesterday, I did an experiment...made homemade butter, bread and ice cream. It was actually pretty awesome. It feels cool to know that everything you eat is all created by YOU...I am definitely on to something. Next things: jam, soap and face wash.

I am so stoked.

We are also in the process of making beer. Right now, it's in the process of fermentation. We currently have a jug full of hops, yeast, and peanut butter. That's right, you heard it..we are making a peanut butter porter. Delicious. In about a week, we will be able to bottle the brewskie and three weeks from there...we will be ready to enjoy some homemade beer. Psh, we will...what I meant is Chad and my parents will be able to try it.

I got my hair done recently...not really what I wanted. If you want to read about that..you can hit up my personal blog: http://jesuisciara.blogspot.com/

Enjoy.
