Who am I? A wife for almost 40 years. A mom for over 36 years. A sister and a friend, of course. Each of these help describe me. But, even more, I have been a Christian since accepting Him as my Savior when I was 12 years old and, this truth defines each area of my life. I have enjoyed some mountain top experiences but have been through some very deep valleys as well. Valleys of incredible grief and even pits of depression. However, most of my days are ordinary, routine kind of days. But in every one of my days, God has been faithful. He has walked with me whatever the day. He strengthens, comforts, encourages and blesses me with life "most abundant."

A favorite life verse: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Why do I write? Though not quite as private as my dad, I am definitely my father's daughter. I find it difficult to share. And to let others in. But I do love to write. I love to put words into sentences and sentences in paragraphs that help express my thoughts. I hope my words help me share my heart. Share the life that God has given me and all that He has done for me and through me. I write with the hope of giving Him at least a bit of the glory He is due.

A verse to guide my writing: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:7

Calling all Texas Gals!

What a crazy weekend…hopefully not an indicator of the week ahead! The weekend started off wonderful….with the fundraiser Saturday night! We had a great evening and raised money that certainly surpassed my expectations. Details – and hopefully pictures – will be coming up when I return from my trip.

The weekend ended on a much different note when Mr. Rascal suddenly got sick and we had to make an emergency room visit….why do pups – and children – always get sick at night…and on the weekend??? He seems to be “on the mend” but, goodness, there is much to do now to get ready for my trip of a lifetime!!

Texas…here I come! So, I’m looking for all my Texas friends…. We are going to San Antonio. I certainly want to see River Walk and Hubbie hopes to get to the Alamo…but we are always excited to try the “local’s favorites” for meals, shopping 🙂 or other fun ideas!! If you live that way or have been there before, PLEASE leave me your ideas. I don’t know when I will ever get that way again – so we will surely make the most of our long weekend!

Forty-two hours and counting……….

  1. Hope you have lots of fun, Jennifer! I know you’ve been looking forward to it! I’m so excited for you! Hope Mr. Rascal is better now!

  2. Best wishes on your trip! I can’t give you any ideas because I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard wonderful things. I know you’ll have an absolute blast! Enjoy…

  3. Wishing you safe travels and a wonderful visit with your AIRMAN! I can only imagine how proud you and Hubbie must be! Congratulations to Jordan on a job well done!

  4. The San Antonio zoo is really nice…of course when we go we have to hit Sea World for the little boys.
    45 minutes north of San Antonio is a town called San Marcos which has the most AMAZING outlet mall!!!
    Have fun!!!

  5. oooh have fun! glad mr rascal is feeling better. i can't help with San Antonio, I only know a little around Dallas & Ft Worth 🙂

  6. Eat at Rio Rio Cantina on the Riverwalk. Go to the Botanical Gardens. The zoo is great. Oh, I will see what else I can come up with! You will be so close to us (well relatively speaking, Texas is a big state!)

  7. Oooh! San Antonio! How FUN! 🙂

    I agree with Dawn, if you are into shopping San Marcos would be worth the drive.
    Other than that, plan to take your time and enjoy the Riverwalk, Alamo, etc! There are a lot of things to see right there in walking distance. The tour-boats are fun if you like little bits of history trivia, and they give you a different view of things.

    I hope you have fun in Texas!! 🙂

  9. If you go to the outlet mall in San Marcos, there is a place across the freeway called Central Station (I think) that has AWESOME burgers. Yummy good! Have a safe trip. If I think of anything else I will let you know!

  10. Hi Jennifer,
    Have fun in Texas! You will love the River Walk and the of course the Alamo! We always eat at Casa Rio on the River Walk. I also must suggest that you have some bar-b-q while in Texas! Have a great trip and sure hope your doggie is feeling better! 🙂

  11. What?!?!?! You’re coming to my state?!?! I wish that it was Dallas instead of San Antonio though. lol!

    We’ve been to San Antonio a few times. It’s always the River Walk and the Alamo for us. Both are very entertaining. We all enjoy both places every time we go.

    Praying for a safe journey here and back home friend!
