Oh ya'll, today I had a moment.I bet you were wondering how long it'd be before the crazy person in me decided to jump out and surprise us all again.  Aren't you glad you didn't have to wait too too long?  Yeah...sorry to say I guess I'm a little predictable like that.  But the crazy person made an appearance today for sure.  This time instead of … [Read more...]

Ok. So I wrote the post about the weather last night, but am making an addition now here with some interesting things I came across today.Eschatology...is basically the study of end times, and this morning when I was having some time with the Lord I most interestingly (but probably not coincidentally) ended up reading about eschatology.  I started out with some reading … [Read more...]

I don't know about the rest of you and what the weather is like where you live, but it's been crazy around South Carolina the past couple of months.  And from what I can tell on the news, across the rest of the country it's been pretty crazy too.  There have been record numbers of tornadoes, floods, winds, and storms pretty much everywhere.  I have lived the … [Read more...]

I'm home from Montana.And let me tell you what a welcome we got... we had to get our car jump-started in the Charlotte airport Sunday night at 11:45pm, got home at almost 2am to a broken upstairs A/C and 83 degrees in all the bedrooms, storms for days that had uprooted a 90ft pine in our backyard and debris everywhere.  I spent the greater part of the day yesterday … [Read more...]

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. We went to the east side of Glacier with some friends and had a fantastic and crazy day with 5 kids ages 5 and under.  Yeah...it was an adventure.  I'll write more about that later.  I did want to announce the winner of the Polebridge Mercantile giveaway thanks to Random.org.  Next time I do a giveaway, I have to figure out a … [Read more...]

Today has been an absolutely incredible day!  My aunt treated Tid Bit, the Hubs, and myself to a helicopter tour over Glacier National Park.  It was another one of those kinds of experiences where words are insufficient.  "Magnificent" is such an understatement.  I could go on and on for days about it and still fall short in my description...get a load of … [Read more...]

Unless... like my mom did this morning, you see one walking by the kitchen window.This is not the actual wolf we saw.  We didn't have time to grab our camera and I wasn't about to walk outside to get a closer view.  As it was, the wolf was literally 15 feet outside of the window over the kitchen sink.  The wolf we saw was scrawny, shedding it's winter coat, and … [Read more...]

We made it here yesterday safe and sound.  Uneventful plane rides, well behaved kids, and still a full part of the day to spend once we arrived.  We got to Kalispell at 1:30 and spent the entire afternoon just enjoying the view and exploring around.View from the porch. That's the Flathead River below and Glacier Nat'l Park in the distance.Can I just tell … [Read more...]

So, tomorrow I'm finally gonna put my new kicks to work because we are headed out to Montana for a little over a week.I hope that the state is ready for us!  And more than that, I hope that the passengers on our flights are ready for our kids.  Oh my words...do you remember my last flight with my 5 year old and 15 month old lap child?!  If not, go HERE for a … [Read more...]

Have you ever thought to yourself... "I really need to get in shape so that I can go to the gym."If you've ever been to a gym at a low point in your fitness regime (meaning, you haven't been in ages and your butt is about as flat as the exercise bench...or your belly is about as round and mushy as a Bosu ball)...then I'd be willing to bet that you've seriously considered doing … [Read more...]
