German Spaghetti.....Interesting

I am going to try this recipe tonight.  I love spaghetti, but the rest of my family does not like tomato sauce.  I found this recipe at bigoven.com..  I will let you know how this turns out.

Well, I am back

We have had quite a busy few weeks.  I have been pounding the internet looking for a job.  Hopefully, I will have two interviews this week.  Prayers that this will all work out for me.

We had the sectional wrestling tournament and RJP finished 3rd which means he gets to wrestle at the State Tournament...as an 8th grader.  I am one proud mama.   
I am one proud mama.  Now we get to prepare for Huntsville this week and Middle School State Tournament the next weekend.  Wrestling takes up alot of our time around here.

KJP was in a beauty pageant at school on Saturday also.  She looked absolutely beautiful.

We did not win anything but I think she was the prettiest girl there.  You can tell we went very simple in our dress.  Many of the girls had on the much fancier pageant dresses.

I hope this time next week I have some positive news to report on the job front.  Interviewing for two very different positions this week.  I pray that God will make the choice obvious (if I have to make one).

The Affection Challenge

I am not a very affectionate person by nature.  I cannot explain it, but I am just not wired that way.  I think that is something missing in my relationship with my husband.  We don't hold hands, kiss for no reason, or just touch each other for no reason.  I know it sounds crazy!

My goal for the month of February is to become a more affectionate couple.  I was doing some research to find some ideas on how to start.

My first challenge to myself it to try and kiss my husband twice a day for no reason.  This is going to be difficult for me.  So I am going to need your help and support.

Here is what I found:

  1. While your love is cooking or washing the dishes go up behind him or her, and wrap your arms around their waist. Nuzzle your face into their neck and tell them how much you love them. If you’re lucky they will turn around to give you a kiss. :)
  2. When walking past your love (around the house, in the yard, while shopping, while at a barbeque, etc.) make it a point to touch them. This could be a quick touch to the shoulder or waist, or a kiss on the cheek.
  3. Snuggle together on the couch while watching TV. Hold hands, caress her hair or arms, kiss during commercials.
  4. Take your sweetheart’s hand while driving in the car, or walking together.
  5. When you arrive home, before doing anything else, approach your sweetheart for a hug and kiss.
  6. If you sleep together, snuggle up to your partner when you go to bed tonight. If either of you need space to sleep you can break away after snuggling.
  7. When your love arrives home from work take her hand and pull her towards you for a hug, kiss and “I missed you today”. – submitted by Richard P.
  8. Offer to brush her hair.
  9. While having dinner together (at a restaurant or at home) reach across the table and hold hands. You could also hold hands under the table.
