Growth without change is impossible.


I've titled this posting, "Growth without change is impossible" because it sums up our current situation. Jon and I have plans to move out to Colorado, however there are some things we need to take care of before heading to the mile high city. One of these items is to sell our house. As you may know Jon and I built this house ourselves and have spent the past three years turning it into a home....a home for someone else that is. We have always known in our hearts that we would not be staying in the home long term so our motivation was to create a home that would be a blessing to its new family. I've created a blog for interested buyers to view and have posted it here: www.redhouseforsale.blogspot.com

Feel free to take a look!

A very sweet treat!



YUMMMMY! My last recipe was a very sweet treat. I made cinnamon buns from my cookbook and although they are fairly simple to make, they take a long time to make. When you start with a packet of yeast and turn that into dough and have to let it rise for an hour and then roll it out and mix in the cinnamon and sugar filling and then let that rise for another thirty minutes before putting them in the oven to bake for yet another thirty minutes....it can be a long process before actually eating these great sticky buns. However, I will be the first to admit they are WELL WORTH the wait. I have made these cinnamon buns twice now and the first time I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them before they were devoured so I simply took a picture of the aftermath. The second time I was more prepared with the camera and snapped a shot before they disappeared.

What a Life!

What a Life!
Six years together and loving every minute of it! Time has gone by so quickly and everyday I thank God I am married to you. I love you very much and look forward to the next 50+ years together. ~Amanda
