Hitting the Restart Button

Well, it has been more than six months, more accurately....4.6 years. So many good things have happened during this period of time.

My oldest (M) married a lovely young lady (E) in 2011. The next one (K) married a wonderful young man (G) just a year later in 2012. First grandchild/son born in 2012. And before all that, starting in 2009, there were several big life-changing moments happening. Higher Ground: A youth ministry started by youth for youth founded by K & E. Then there were the weekend long gatherings we hosted for homeschooled older teens and young adults. These events proved to be true blessings in many ways. Daughter, K, meeting a boy in a Christian band. Concerts. Many concerts. Many late-night concerts. Oh the memories :) I still have one daughter (KT) at home. She will enter her 12th and last year of homeschooling this Fall. She is a blessing to me and our family. She has picked up her sister's torch with Higher Ground and the ministry is expanding. She works, plays, takes photographs, and keeps me busy with her schedule. It is time for her to learn how to drive. :)

Children growing into teens, teens growing into adults, weddings, new families, babies, young adult friends' weddings, and babies, friends, new church, new friends, new and many more adventures. My ideas, thoughts, and ways have been challenged, altered, broadened, tempered, proved, and some snuffed out. It is God who works in us molding us if we let Him.

And through all this I still had to cook. And plan meals, do dishes and keep up with the home. I'm still interested in food, nutrition, health related topics, family, relationships, God, and learning in general. This blog will be a reflection of my interests and food experiments. It won't be profound but it will be real, honest, sometimes silly, and sometimes serious.
