New Home...

After being in Idaho and living with family for the past year, we officially have our own home!

First, we must say, that we are so grateful to Benj's brother and sister-in-law, Nathanael and Shannon, for allowing us to live in their home for an entire year!  We are also extremely thankful that we are only 10 minutes away from them.  It's been awhile since we have been near family and we are excited to continue being close to them, as they have become friends, not just family.  

It became a bit frustrating trying to find a rental within our budget, but God provided at just the right time!  We are thankful that Benj has had time at home so that we could move in and enjoy the home together!  We have most of our furniture and basics and continue to get household things as we go.  

Some things we love about our new place:
The price is right!
Close to work (under 10 minutes to both of our jobs)
Close to friends and family
Tons of space! (Its an older brick farm house with 2 bed/1 bath, full basement, and plenty of outside space)
Close to grocery stores, restaurants, highway, and everything in between

Jewelry Making Fun....

Some of you may have seen my jewelry and many of you may own some yourself.  Now that I have a little extra time on my hands, I am back at it and selling jewelry online at Etsy.com!!!  I am excited to say that I have finally done it, after months of talking about it and I am keeping it up to date and adding new jewelry each chance I get.

My lovely husband and personal graphic designer came up with the name and logo for me.  He also continues to make sure I'm running a business since I just love to give it away as gifts, and he is such an encouragement for me to be doing this.   :)

If you have some time, check out my Etsy shop and share it with some friends to help me spread the word!
