Oh the BUSYness

I have definitely stepped out of the blogging world for a while. Life has been crazy and our days very "busy." BUSY has been then theme over the past month as Joe has been working long hours crunching numbers but thankfully TODAY ends most of that! It has been a tough month for both of us (as it always is) but again we have made it through and are excited about some good time together.

In my time as an "accountant widow" as my friend once called it, I found myself filling my time with reading (and of course some TV watching) as well as spending time with friends and some of the youth. I have been so thankful for the people in my life!

A side note about my reading... I just finished Same Kind of Different as Me. What an amazing book! My friend, Kelley, encouraged me to read it several weeks ago and I have been trucking through it (I'm a slow reader). This story of these two unlikely friends was like nothing I'd ever read except the stories of Christ and his desire to reach the "least of these". It reminded me that there are opportunities to reach out and show others the love of Christ without having to go overseas. There are opportunities in my own community! It was also an amazing testimony of God's grace in the life of someone who by the world's standards would never be influential, yet he is being used to change the lives of many. Anyway, I could go on and on...

But I won't. :) Again, I hope to post more soon. For now, I am going to enjoy having Joe home and the BUSYness of tax season behind us. Maybe I'll even brush up on my cooking skills. :) Any great (and extremely easy) dinner suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
