Happiness is a choice!

What? Happy girl NOT happy?

Oh boy, this happy girl isn’t very happy. Well it isn’t an all day thing, more of a moment thing,  but the tears won’t quit coming. It is like you know you have to go into labor to have a baby, and you want the baby, but the pain to get the baby is terrifying.  I know to well what is coming tomorrow. Tomorrow is chemo day. I don’t like the deep vein IV, but it is better than getting poked ten times trying to get a vein. I don’t like how I feel afterwards and it has been getting worse every time.  This whole cancer thing is not fun, and I am VERY fond of FUN things, not so much not fun things. So I am going to push myself through these tears and think of twenty things that I am grateful that this cancer experience has taught me. I have learned how to blog, otherswise I would have never sat still long enough to do this. I am learning to be comfortable in my own skin. Even though I was before, but now it is more so. I have a lot more skin to show. I am a skin head. I am learning how

Idaho Falls Farmers Market and Skirts

The Idaho Falls Farmers Market is one of my favorite places to go every Saturday May 2- October 31 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. This is one of my favorite vendors. I admired her Idaho skirt and then I ended taking it home. It is so comfortable and I feel great in it. She makes skirts out of all kinds of items. I saw one out of curtains! They are one of a kind and if you like to walk your own walk then this is the place to go!     Momie Clothes Vintage Pieced Clothing for All Ages Wanda Baldwin 208.554.2010 [email protected]

Working men, bring me happiness!

  We have been working on this project for a couple of weeks.  One of the kids asked, “Did you buy this house?” Jim explained that we were in the process in buying it. He was so confused that we would fix it up if we weren’t buying it. I said, “We are going to live here at least 5 0r 10 years, at least as long as you live here.” Oh, said the kid, as he rolls the roller on the deck. I then explain, “We want our house to be nice while we live here.” LOL… it seems to be a new concept every time we fix up. Funny teenagers. I am so pleased with how our place looks, working with my family and along with the outcome truly brings me happiness!

Leah’s wedding day

I am so blessed to have such a good friend Leah. She got married and I was able to do her hair. I am so glad I felt good enough to do it! She looked beautiful and it felt so therapeutic  to play with hair and curl it and everything!         The violin music went on for 2 hours and there was a variety of love songs, classical and a little bit of fiddle. It is the rewards of being a mom and having great friends! So happy my husband showed up and we were able to enjoy the evening together.

I Believe in Christ

This is a dream I had recently, it took me a couple of days to share it with Jim, and even more to share with you. It is a very tender dream, but powerful at the same time. In the dream the world was in chaos and my life was also. People were hiding and in fear. People were getting killed if they would not deny Jesus Christ. I was with my husband Jim and I was put before those that insisted on us denying Christ. Of several men that were before us, one held a machete.  I would be killed instantly if I would not deny my savior Jesus Christ. As I stood before them, my son Tex was there, in spirit, telling me that it would be ok. He was there for us and then my mother was there also. They were giving us comfort and assurance that I was going to be just fine. I turned to look at Jim and he was not doing well. Jim was really beside himself and was fighting with his guards, he was determined to save his wife, telling them to take his life instead, and so on. I looked at Jim and
