10 things we can't live without

-
We are a family who enjoys binge watching shows on Netflix. We will all be bored sitting around our house with not much on our schedule and decide to re-watch a favorite TV series or movie series.  Recently, we watched Downton Abbey and Sherlock again.  We loved them both the second time around as much as the first time.
But as I was going through the options on Netflix the other day, I noticed a movie on there that was popular when I was in high school. 10 Things I Hate About You.  It was an okay movie back in the day when Clueless and Dawson's Creek captured high school life perfectly when I was younger.  Things are much different now and I know my kids would watch these shows today and think they were so weird and nothing compared to the public schools they attend now.  But that's another blog post for another day, back to 10 Things I Hate About you.  The movie ends with the main character writing a poem about the boy she ended up liking in the movie and lists 10 things that she hated (or really loved ) about him.  It's easy to make lists like that about people or things we hate, or love.  So today I thought I would share 10 {Physical} things we can't think of living without as a family.  I asked each person to give me one or two items. These are our top ten essential things that make our lives easier and less messy in some way anyway...

1. Toilet Paper - Deanna
2. My Bible - Deanna
3. My phone w/ audio books - John
4. Coffee - John
5. Water - Ashlyn
6. Soft blankets/sweatshirts - Ashlyn
7. Food - Joshua
8. Bubba - Caleb
9. House - Jonathan
10. Bed - Caleb & Joshua

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
