Happy Anniversary

And then my life began....

...not as one alone against the world, but as two, husband and wife..forever changing what was into what is and can be through the cohesive and constant Faith that Jesus has given us. Mr. & Mrs. Timothy Michael Hurst

Through work and vacation, job loss and book writing, children and more children...and more children!  With our Lord Jesus forever leading the way, from here to eternity! ♡

14 years! In a blink, it has flown! I could not believe so much time could be true, were it not for all the kids in our house, and the wrinkles by my eyes - from all the smiling ;) 

We are in ministry together for God, and I have grown closer to you over the last two years than any before, and I look forward to growing closer and closer  as we give our hands and feet to God's work.

I love you more today than when my stomach twisted and flipped with butterflies, and if you'd asked me then I wouldn't have thought it possible!

On this, the Christmas Adam before Christmas Eve (or Christmas Eve-Eve as we said when we were engaged), with four beautiful children, a home and in new ministry for God's vision guiding our lives...I love you!

I Still Do!
And Always Will!

♡ Happy Anniversary! ♡

Why Can't Pie Be Calorie Free?!

The problem with the fall/winter and holidays is I love to bake! And then the weather's cold so I don't mind having the oven on. I just can't figure out how to magically not gain weight from all of these delicious goodies!
Any ideas?

Shopping is School!

We went to the store last week, right in the middle of our homeschooling day, because, well...we needed food! LOL

Me, 5 kids and 2 carts is quite the excursion! And it will likely take 2 hours of our day! So we make it a little school focused too!
     Math - price comparison, keeping in mind per ounce cost, as well as cost per person in a meal, adding up to keep a budget, etc.
     Science - ingredient comparisons between organic and non-organic, brand and off-brand, etc.

Kids are learning AND I get shopping done!
Win-win
....well, I guess the kids might disagree :/

#dontcare! ;)
