NEW YEAR EVE- USA LOVE LIST

Happy New Years Eve, I am so sorry for my long absents, I was on a holiday last week due to Christmas, spending time with Family and Friends, As I hope most of you were too. This blog post was meant for yesterday, it being Tuesday and all, but I was deadly ill yesterday, seems I caught the stomach bug, It was horrible but thankfully my wonderful superhero of a hubby and his side kick Daisy, made sure I stayed hydrated and well basically alive. Thankfully after spending most of the past two days passed out in bed here is my blog post a day late...


It being New years eve and everyone saying what there new years resolution would be I really wanted to take time and think through my Purchases and where Kyle and I spend our money this coming 2015. I would really like to keep our money in the USA this year, and with that being said, I have started a list of USA made products.

My new years resolution is to try and buy products only made in the USA.

I am really excited about this resolution.  I think that it may in some ways be a big challenge, and I know that some people out there think that I am nuts, and that it is impossible to buy products that I use everyday only made in  america, But I am up for the challenge. My Goal is that Every Tuesday I will be featuring a company  that is solely made in the USA. So challenge excepted!  I hope you enjoy tuning in every Tuesday for my made in America update.

Until Next Time My Friends,

Friday

Happy Friday. 

I spent the first half of this week at home, running grandma Mollie around and visiting with friends while husband was on a business trip. Now that we are both home in our little condo, I am hoping that Christmas will be in full swing. If only Ohio would get some snow!!

In the world this week things have been kinda crazy, looking at Cuba, Russia, the school attack in Pakistani. Thankful I have a Jesus to turn in times of uncertainty and times when I do not understand completely everything that is going on. 

Well as I am trying to stay calm about our current world problems I thought I would share some of the best houses decorated for Christmas.  

I hope you enjoyed these lights as much as Daisy and I did.

Columbus Zoo Lights

Husband took me on a date night last Saturday, He said it was time for us to have some alone time with out Daisy. It was awesome. He took me to Columbus Zoo which is currently all lite up with thousands of lights. It was truly a winter wonderland, but It was missing a few keys piece, like snow, and most important Jesus. The main reason we have Christmas.

It makes me kind of sad that people will go most if not all of there life without hope, Thinking that Christmas is just about gift and Santa.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

It was such a good time. If you are in the Columbus area make time to go. It is a great family event, or if you are like us its make a great date night. 

Merry Christmas

P.S Did you know that thanks to our low gas prices Americans have a 2% raise. 2% raise just by lower gas prices. Is the major news covering that? 

Well if they are not, here is it, Let it be my little Friday Fact.

Thursday Briefing

Can I just start with how thankful I am for a job that has me constantly meeting and helping new people. Today was a extra special day. Every so often God brings a patient into the office that ends up leaving me bright eyed and remembering what my goal in life is about- Saving the world one patient at a time!


On another thought, have you seen who was awarded the Nobel Peace Price. It is a remarkable story of a girl who was shot because she wanted to go to school like her brothers, but was told to stop because girls are not taught in society.  She is the first Pakistani, and the youngest to receive this honor.

Below is a video of her speech after she received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Malala Yousafzai Speech



and lastly........ Gas Prices! What is going on? I know we are drilling, but the conspiracy theorist inside me feels like there is something going on other than fracking and drilling.. What country is going to collapse? What is the real reason of this current gas situation? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that we are drilling, and producing our own oil, but I am still a little skeptical. Can you blame me?!

Well stay tuned, I'll be back shortly.

Merry Christmas

Obamacare rant...

Eat this up Mr Gruber, just eat it up. For those who will listen to this and say "oh, this is just one patient"... well let me tell you there are lives everyday whos care and treatments are put in the back burner because of these glitches in the system. So get your damn facts right! Spend just one day in the shoes pf a Doctor,Nurse, or Medical Assistant and you too will feel the pain and heartache that we feel when a patient does not get what they need.

Congresswoman Tells Gruber, 'Get Over Your Damn G…: http://youtu.be/pgoHbBLEpE4

Study the facts my friends. Untill next time

Christmas Decoration & Monday Blessings

Just a little post to show you what my little house looks like with all of my homemade decorations , and to share with you how amazing my Great Jesus is.

Starting a new Job this month brings much change. New things, different people, a list of patient, and different rules. I am filled with excitement and thanks knowing that I am back in the medical field. Helping people every day feel better. Yet at the same time I can end up nervous and anxious especially Sunday nights before the unknown Monday. Sundays are the worst. Today however God once again reminded me that He is all knowing and in control. Today brought many new things. Smiles, laughs, and a warm heart. Meeting patient, caring for them, and making them comfortable. Everything that makes my little heart happy. I am so thankful for a God that knows my heart better than myself. God never fails. He understand my weakness, and my strengths and what makes my heart happy and full. Sunday nights might always be hard, But remembering that I have a God, who is  The Great Physician gives me a hope that I may never be able to completely understand. Today was once again a good Monday.


On another note, Here are some pictures of the Decorations.I am quite please with the turn out and how little money husband and I was able to save not buying ornaments.

Oh Christmas Tree

Oh Christmas Tree.

How beautiful are your branches, and homemade ornaments. 

Homemade garland for the fireplace.

My favorite piece on my Mantel, is that Candle's that my grandma Mollie handed down to me. 

Well Folks, I pray that you let God into your Monday and have him bless your heart like he did to mine today. 

Lots of Christmas Joy,

Home for Thanksgiving & officially in Christmas Count Down

Greetings, 

I hope that you are all feeling thankful, blessed and full on the wonderful Monday. Husband and I traveled home this past weekend to part take in family gatherings and fun actives, including one of my most looked forward to activity that comes this time of year. Wreath making.

A few years ago, My mother- who is may I save very crafty, had that idea to start taking the trimmings that we would collect while we got out REAL TREE and start making our own Christmas wreathes. This idea took off and has become a yearly tradition. Friday after thanksgiving we go out and search for the perfect tree, and with that the gentleman who owns the tree farm lets us have free range over all the trimmings from our tree and others trees that he has cut down.

Will all the extra trimmings. Saturday morning we host out Christmas Wreath making party. Inviting close family and Friends, and it is certainly a ball! 

Enjoy. 

These are the decoration that every one brings to add to the wreath making collection.

Wreath made by my Moma.
