Week 2. Ben's Bells.

Well here we are in week 2 of 2013. Not much has changed since I last blogged EXCEPT I can almost walk on my own for a whole day. My physical therapist is very pleased at the outcome so far. He said that I am ahead in my recovery process which is great.

My grandfather (my mom's dad) went into the hospital on Monday morning very early. If you can please take a minute and pray or him and his healing process. Thanks y'all! 

You are probably wanting to know what the title of this blog means. What is Ben's Bells? Well my mom's experience with Ben's Bells started out like this. She was simply trying to get a newspaper when she saw this beautiful wind chime inside the paper rack. She read what the paper said and it told her to take it home and pass on the kindness. Over thousands of these have been passed out over different states. It started in 2002 and is still going strong today (since today is when mom found her's) 
The story behind Ben's Bells really touched my heart. I have read story after story on the website and really encourage you to as well. Many of the recent receivers of this were some parents at Sandy Hook Elementary  school. There story is on the website so you can read their experiences as well. This is a selfless act that this family started and it is being passed around the world. 


I hope everyone has a wonderful night tonight.

Life adjustments.

I was thinking about when I started this blog at the start of 2013. I had planned on writing each week. Not really for everyone else but for Steve and I to be able to look back on the year. Well life as we know it is busy and well I have been VERY slack on writing entries on here. Although I don't have an entry for each week to look back on, I still have been looking back and what a year we have had. It doesn't feel like this time last year I was in a wheel chair from my ankle surgery in Kansas. It doesn't even seem like we were living in Kansas last year at this time. Kansas ... something I miss dearly. We have only been back in NC for about 7 months now and what a 7 months it has been. The adjustment of living around a world of civilians is much harder than anyone could ever imagine. Not only are we having to adjust to our new "home life" in NC but also to Steve's new job with the Sheriff's department. And baby Kendall is another HUGE adjustment we are i...

Week 11: Our most recent DIY project

If you know Steve and I then you know we love DIY little projects to keep up entertained. We currently had a 4 person dining room table until the other day. My friend, Neang in Kansas gave Steve and I her old dining room table. It has 6 chairs which is what we were looking for since our new house has a pretty decent sized dining room. The table was in great shape and the chairs were too. The seat cushions just needed to have a little make over. Neither of us had ever re-upholstered anything but we knew it couldn't be too much work. After a short YouTube video and a trip to  Walmart to pick out the fabric, we got to work. Steve's favorite part was of course using the staple gun a million times. This was a super easy job and we couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Now to just get to NC to see what our new table looks like in our dining room. We couldn't be more appreciative of Neang for giving us their old table. We are officially counting down the days until we ...
