Another Journey
Well since 1/1/14 I have been hitting the gym and watching everything I eat . It's been slow going but I'm doing well. Everyday I try and meet a new goal , my body is screaming stop but I can't . My husband and I find it's a great way to spend time together and keep us in shape . I want to be able to get around and have fun in my old age when the teenager leaves in 3 more years for college :) I'm so excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel and look forward to having a life and friends again when the daughter leaves home . She doesn't realize that I have up all of me to raise her . I never had a girlfriend to hang out with , never had friends over , never went anywhere on the weekends , just stayed at home with her so she would have a stable life . Now he is out every weekend with her friends and I'm still siting home all the time because I don't have anything to do .. But I'm changing that . Me and hubby are trying to find things we can do without spending money , kinda hard but possible . Have a good day :)

Life gets away sometimes
Hi cyber land :) been a while since i have posted anything on here. I don't know why I can't remember to blog more, I mean I have a blogger app on my phone and I have one on my ipad , so there should be no reason to let so much time go by. I'm pretty sure I don't really have anyone that reads this blog but that's ok, this is my little space to write and enjoy alone time with my thoughts .
There has been a whole lot of no knitting in my life . I have gone yarn shopping for a cowl and a scarf , but I have yet to cast on for those . I really want new socks, but I have not cast on for those . I'm working part time substitute teaching so that takes about 3 or 4 days of my week , then I have church Monday night for a couple hours, Wednesday night and sometimes on Friday for youth. Then I have me time which involves me playing ipad games , or reading . My life is not very exciting but it's what I enjoy and it just works.
Don did buy me new furniture a couple weeks ago and it is so nice to have something no one else has ever sat on. We have always had used furniture , so this was a real treat for us. We have replaced everything now that I had when I was single over 10 years ago . It's a nice feeling knowing that we have built a life together and gotten rid of old memory's from my past.
I'm hoping that this summer while our daughter is gone on youth camp we can take a nice vacation together , maybe a honeymoon :)

November Is Here
Well October rolled by with no big events and I decided that November would be the month I would go with out Facebook and twitter. This was because I wanted to focus more on life, family and mostly God. I feel like these two things take my attention and mind anyway from the most important things in my life. So I decided that my blog should get more attention so I can blog about daily life.
I'm so thankful for extra time so I can knit. I'm trying to work on some lace sock I started last year, but I can't Find the notes I had with them so I'm having a hard time starting them. I may end up frogging them and starting over.
This friday I will be headed to lady's conference here in Tulsa, and I'm so excited. I will see one of my girlfriends I have not seen in over 15 years! It will be so nice to be around Godly woman and just rejoice in the lord.

How People Change
I was reading a fellow bloggers daily goings on and I thought to my self. Man I have not blogged in forever. so much has happened since April. My Grandson Gabriel was born on Jan 28th and what a amazing birth it was. I felt so lucky to be there and see him come into this world. I hope and pray that he will grow up to be a strong and faithful servant to the Lord.
It seems since I rejoined the church in November of last year, my life has changed so very much in just 8 months. Everything I do and say is about Jesus. I know this comes as a shock to a lot of people, but you don't understand the power of change God gives you when you receive the Holy Ghost. See, I am a One God, Apostolic, Holy Ghost Filled woman, Or simple terms, I am United Pentecostal. We believe in One God, Repentance, Being baptized in Jesus name, with the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. It has forever changed my life and I am so thankful for it. I know this blog started out 4 years ago as a knitting blog with blackberry and weight loss content, but I have to tell you it is now a personal walk with Jesus blog. I feel like writing down what God does for me on a daily basis will help someone out there with their journey and uplift them. We can not walk with God and not tell others of the greatness of what he does.
He has delivered me from drinking, smoking, being self centered, none caring, depressed, buying of electronics and other meaningless things. He is my rock and I will stand on him for all my needs.
I have to say since being in church my friends have all fell by the waste side. They don't understand why I don't want to see Magic Mike, or go to a party and drink. All I can say is, I want to live a Holy life without all the things that will keep me from walking closer to God. We have to be separate from the world so they will see our light shine. If we were not separate, how would they know we we different?
I'm sorry if this offends anyone that doesn't believe in God or that you don't have to change anything about your self to serve the Lord. My intent is to journal my Faith and my life to help those that seek the truth.
God Bless.

Were Have I been
Hi world here I am ..
Well I have not posted since Christmas and it is now April 28th, 2012.. A lot has happened in that time frame. On January 28th, Don and I got married at our local church :) what a great day it was. We had about 40 people come to the wedding and had a small reception with food and picture taking. It was a perfect small wedding and I could not ask for anymore than that. We had planned on going to Branson, Missouri for our honeymoon but when we stopped in Springfield , Missouri to see Don's mom that had been sick, we realized she was more than sick, she was dying. We stayed a week with her and she passed on Feb 6, 2012.. It was a fast and aggressive lung cancer and It just was the worst thing I have ever seen. We never did get a honeymoon or to celebrate our wedding because we were just so sad over the loss of his mother. If you smoke, STOP now while you are healthy. No one should die like that.
Also in February our 12 year old daughter was baptized in Jesus name at our local church.. Talk about excited , she was on cloud 9 for days after that. we are very proud of her for making the big step into adult hood and taking her faith further.
I also found out that I am going to be a grandma for the first time. My oldest son Dean and his wife are expecting a baby boy in June . I am so very excited to see the little guy and see him grow up.. Who would have thought I would be old enough to be a grandma,lol..
No knitting has been going on since December or before. I just have not had the drive to pick it up and I think its one of those things were life gets in the way all the time. I have started reading more and spend a lot of time at church during the week. but I do miss knitting. Its just one of those things were I need to sit down and do it again.
I have been working at the local schools as a sub, but that ends in a couple weeks so I will have to find a full time job to get me threw the summer. I am really praying God finds me the right job and I won't have to struggle with all the wrong ones. I will try and post here more often. I seem to still use facebook and twitter alot more than my blog, but blogging is a good outlet for me to get my thoughts out on paper , short of.....
Have a great weekend all..

It's Christmas Time
Hi all, Been a couple months since I have even thought about my blog here and really its just has not been that important. We survived Thanksgiving with family in Missouri and even came back home on Thanksgiving day because Don had to work Black Friday. I have done no knitting since I have re-joined church life in early November of this year. God had really been pushing on my heart to go back to church and stop living the way of the world. I have never been so happy to get the weight of all the stress and stupid stuff off my chest. I know a lot of people have seen me and noticed the change, Don being one of those people. Living my life for God has transformed me and I don't see giving up the things of the world as a bad thing but they give me freedom .. My faith if your wondering is UPCI which is United Pentecostal Church . If you don't know anything about us, we are Holy Ghost filled, Baptisted in Jesus name , God loving people. Being a woman in the UPCI church we look different than most woman because we dress as woman. We do not wear men's clothes which would be pants , we don't wear makeup or cut our hair. All These things are instructed for us to do in the King James Bible. We are to be separate from the world and be Holy. I encourage you to read on the Doctrine of the UPCI . I feel joy all the time, and I have no cares because Jesus take care of them all.
There is nothing better than knowing your living your life the way our creator designed for us to live.
Yes I have changed, Yes what I blog about will be different from now on.. I'm not sure what this blog will turn into, but I hope to touch peoples life's with it .
On with the Holidays.. We are Planning on going to Missouri for Christmas , so I am hoping that we have no snow this year. Last year we were snowed in and could not get out of the house :) I hope everyone enjoys family and friends during Christmas and remembers what its really about ...Stress this time of year is horrible with people trying to buy gifts for family and friends.. Personally me and Don only bought our daughter 1 gift this year and that was a Kindle Fire.The girl has everything she needs and we thought 1 gift would make her happy and keep us from over spending. We are spending 3 days with family,which she loves!! so thats another treat for her. We don't spend a ton of money on Christmas, it just does not make since too.. And our Daughter has learned that money is hard to come by and we should be thankful for what we have.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year :)

Google eBookstore
Well after forever and fighting the tide, I downloaded Google Chrome since FireFox is really giving me issues. I have to say I like it a lot more than FireFox because I didn't realize that almost all the things I use are by Google. I really like the apps you get and you just click on them and your there. No more typing in URLS for simple everyday things I use all the time. I also downloaded Safari browers to try it out. It has not been getting much use since using Chrome, but I will get there.
Sorry for the lack of posts , but life has been pretty boring around here since I am not working. I just sit home all day and read or knit. No shopping since there is no extra money and no buying of blackberry themes. I finally also found the Google ebook store. I think it is great we have some many places to access books on the go!!! love it..

Ready For Fall
Can you tell I am ready for fall with the new wallpaper on the blog :) It has been over 106 and as hot as 112 here ! I'm not one for summer anyway so I am so glad when it cools off for fall and winter around here. I have finally started knitting again :) I have been working on my Make It Happen Shawlette which I am on the boarder and it will be done. I have also knitted a dish cloth which I will post pictures of later. I have been trying to work on my WIP'S that are sitting all around my knitting room. I have a pair of fingerless gloves to finish and a pair of Bella mittens to finish along with a massive blanket I started 2 years ago. It seems to be a common theme with knitters to start something and set it aside for another New and Shiny project.
I have joined Goodreads in the hopes to start reading more. I love to read but it seems that knitting, cleaning house and cooking take all my time and reading is maybe at a hour a day. I have to admit I have downloaded thousands of books for my Ipad and Nook and finding new books for free is a high. I love free and I think all books should be free to some point. I realize the authors have to make money, but there should be a discount for the none working folks of the world. Oh wait, that's what public library's are for . I can never seem to get the books back there once I take them out.
I have found a new love for nail polish. Oh my gosh! its like painting in school all over again,lol. I'm sure if your my friend on FB you have been a couple post at my new colors. More of that to come here too. I really miss blogging and I think its time that I try and do it everyday or at least once a week.
Today is my daughters first day back to school :) can you say we are both happy at this point.Being in the house together for 3 months is not good for anyone.. she is super excited to be in middle school this year and I'm a little scared. I guess I just have to let go and let her be at some point in all this. I am to much of a control freak... well, I'm off to knit and enjoy my quite day with me and the cats.. Talk to you soon .

Been Forever
I guess I have forgotten about my blog since April and that motorcycle accident! So very sorry everyone. So much has happened since then. I got a new job , we went to Las Vegas 2 weeks ago for vacation and we have been trying to enjoy life a little more on our days off. We are still dealing with the lawyer on the accident and hope to have that cleared away soon and all the medical bills payed for. Its been very drawn out and just a pain in the butt to be truthful. No knitting has happened since April and no yarn buying either. life has been pretty quit and boring , except for Vegas. I hope to be blogging more since my time has because more mine in the last couple of weeks .. I will try and post pics of our vacation as well soon.. Hope everyone is doing well and has not forgotten me :)

Motorcycle Accident
Saturday night after a full day off work , me and Don decided to take a motorcycle ride downtown for a nice dinner and night out. Seeing how the daughter was doing a night sleep over with a friend. We were so excited to have some adult time and the weather was amazing! We had stopped at a red light on 71st & 93rd street, as the light turned green and the car in front of us moved forward and that's when the car behind us smashed into us.. Sending our motorcycle flying in the air. I went one way off the back and Don went the other across a lane of traffic!! I was told I was knocked out for a couple minutes.. I just remember all the people around me and the ambulance . The teenage girl that hit us , was texting and driving!!!! Really... Don and I came out of it with no broken bones or anything , but the recovery of the impact to the ground is horrible. We feel like we have been beat to death . My concussion has made me have headaches and sick to my stomach.. I am so very thankful for God watching over us and protecting us.. We are so very lucky to be alive . I will never get back on another motorcycle ! And Don has decided not to ride again. We have a daughter at home that needs us and we can't take the chance of something happening to us. Please don't text and drive. It can wait till you are stopped and out of your car.

Electronics And The Need For Them
I had typed out a post about 4 days ago and never checked to see if it was here on the blog, well its not. Guess its out there floating in the universe somewhere,lol.
As you all know in the last part of October my sweet man bought me a Ipad for my Birthday . Now this thing never leaves my side and I am so happy he bought it for me with his winnings from the Casino :) I had heard there was a new Ipad coming out and thought I would not want it because I already have one. Last week the story broke and there sits this thin, light, fast new Ipad and I think I have to have it. The only down side to my Ipad is the weight, its heavy and hurts my hands to hold sometimes. If I am sitting in bed reading or playing a game it really hurts my hands , and having a ipad that is lighter would be wonderful for me, not to mention it would be lighter in my hand bag. Well as soon as the news broke about the New Ipad2 everyone put there Ipads on Ebay and Craigslist for sale. I jumped on the band wagon and mine still has not sold. I paid 825.00 for it and so I was asking 750.00 as that is still to much. I guess Apple took a 100.00 off the Ipads since the 2nd model is coming out. So everyone is telling me to ask 600 or 650.00 for it. Now Its a 64g wi-fi and 3g model, which the new iPad2 will in 830.00 I believe. I don't want to have to spend 200.00 to get the same thing i have now.. if I sale this one, I will have to get a ipad that has no 3g and no case. I mean, I will be selling all the bells and whistles and getting nothing back in return. It so sucks because we don't have the extra money for me to spend the 200.00 difference on the new Ipad.so I guess I am at a cross roads with what to do. Do I keep the old one and have everything, or sale it and not have 64g and no 3G. .. I put a listing on Craigs list http://tulsa.craigslist.org/ele/2245141534.htmlfor it at 675.00 with the 2 cases, but I really feel 700.00 is fair since its so new and coming with nice cases.. ugh.. if any of my readers would like to make me a offer for the Ipad , please leave me a comment here and we can talk. I know i want to sale it so I can get the new one so make me a offer. Please . Do you have a Ipad that you sold? Tell me how you sold it and what price it went for. Love hearing from you guys so drop me a line. Have a great week.
