In 2 months he leaves US..

It’s been one month since Tristin received his Mission call to Indiana Indianapolis! Called to serve for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. The one thing that keeps going thru my mind is “He is prepared to leave, know we have to prepare to let him go”. I honestly believe Tristin will be a good missionary, cuz he already is one. He serves people all the time, he is a good example to all, people are better after meeting him, he loves the Lord, he has a desire to do the right thing, he is a hard working, and he never complains, these are just a few things I know to be true. Will it be hard YES it will, but is will be worth it.  He has proven time and time again to us, his parents that he can do hard things. He never backs down from a challenge, he likes to prove people wrong.
I’m shocked over the last month how much the adversary has been trying to pry his way into out home. He is a force that creeps his way into the simplest of conversations. Into the easiest of decision making and into our minds. I believe he tries really hard to have contention in our home, and ultimately show us our weakness and feel we aren't capable of moving forward with this journey that Tristin has decided to go on.
So for know I’m holding on to Gods Promise's. We will endure this well, by taking Jesus yoke upon us we learn all of things and especially how to be like him. We will cling to our faith and enjoy this time in our lives. We are excited to walk this path with him.

DIY Chalkboard (Dinner Menu)

So like 8 month ago, I updated my computer to Windows 10 and I haven't been able to Post anything to my blog. I got a lot of catching up to do. things are mostly crazy around here. But so wonderful at the same time. Scott fixed it tonight after month of me complaining. thank you so much

I have wanted to make a menu board or something similar for like 7 years, and finally only 2 weeks ago I got my Chalkboard paint out and just did it. I chose a cupboard, cause its easily hidden, good use of space, easy to reach and cute. It was super easy takes about 2 coats and like 2 hours. I cut out white vinyl for the days of the weeks and title using my cricut.
