25 Questions All About Home

-
Image
 Have you ever noticed how quickly a place can bring back a memory? The smell of fresh bread can transport you to your grandmother's kitchen. A porch swing can remind you of long summer evenings. Even hearing an old screen door slam might bring you back to a house you haven't stepped inside for years. Our homes hold so much more than furniture and photographs. They are where birthdays are celebrated, traditions are born, hard conversations are had, and ordinary days quietly become the stories our families tell for generations. When we think about preserving family history, it's easy to focus on people—and rightly so. But the places where those people gathered matter too. Our homes shape us. They become the backdrop to childhood adventures, holiday memories, family dinners, and everyday moments that often seem insignificant until years have passed. Whether you're thinking about the home where you grew up or the one you're raising your family in today, these 25 questi...

~ 7 Month Update and Frequently Asked Questions ~

-
Yay!! We are getting so close to the end of this deploymnet! 

Aaron : Aaron is doing well. His fingers are healing nicely, and he is back doing whatever it is he does. He has been working some long days but it keeps him busy.  

Jaimie and Hannah : We are doing great! I recently hit this stupid wall, and I could not get my head around it. I felt like we were so close to the end but still so far away. I am so happy that I finally got over that hurdle. I am now just so excited!! Hannah and I are keeping busy with Mummy and Me Swim. She loves it! Hannah is quite independent and was yelling at me to let her go. . . .  yeah not gonna happen.


I get asked a lot of questions that I thought would be nice to answer here :

1. When does Aaron get back?
I have no idea. 
I think the closer to homecoming the more details we get. I have heard rumors but until he is stepping of the bus, at Pendleton, I don't believe them.

2. Are you invited family and friends to homecoming?
Aaron and I have talked a lot about this and we have decided that no we are not. It will just be Hannah and I picking up Aaron. 
We will be having a homecoming celebration soon after.

3. Do you have plans for when Aaron gets home?
Kinda Sorta but nothing definite.

4. Have you heard things are heating up in Afghanistan?
NO! and I don't want to know.
I don't watch the news in general because it freaks me out, so I really don't want to know what is going on in Afghanistan. . . . where my husband is. . . . . so please don't tell me.
I am not naive to the fact that Aaron is in a war zone; however, he knows I worry and doesn't want to add to that. Which is why, when people ask me questions about what is he doing over there, I have no idea. We just don't talk about it.

5. How are you and Hannah doing?
We are doing great!

6. Do you need anything?
Nope. 
We are just enjoying the Summer and getting ready for Aaron to get back.

7. Has it gone by fast?
NO!! 
Honestly, I have felt everyday he has been gone, but have tried to stay upbeat and positive. I really can't believe seven months have gone by!

8. What do you do all day?
This is one of my most frequently asked questions and I'm not sure why? 
I eat, I read, I play with Hannah. I clean and cook. I shower and run errands. I write blog posts . . . .


I hope that answers some of your questions if you had any.
Thank you for your love and prayers it means so much to us!

Clothing, Covering, and Linen in the Scriptures #2. Coats of Skin

-
Image
Genesis 3:21 (Moses 4:27) “Unto Adam and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skin, and clothed them.” Notice who clothed Adam and Eve in their coats of skin? While Satan left Adam and Eve to make their fig leaves apron by themselves, God personally clothed them. In order to clothe a person in coats of skin ( presumably ) an animal sacrifice would have had to be made. There is tremendous symbolism in this with regards to our Savior, Jesus Christ. He would perform the ultimate sacrifice and inevitably die for our sins. His atonement is the only thing that will be able to truly "cover" our sins/mistakes. Atonement means to cover. "Each of us can be covered through the atonement of the Savior. A covering that provides warmth, comfort, and blots out our sins." ( YouTube video - Aprons of Fig Leaves and Coats of Skins.) The coats of skin is evidence of God's wisdom being superior to man's. ( Wikipedia ) I love the scripture found in Abraham 2:8, "My ...

Clothing, Covering, and Linen in the Scriptures #1. Fig Leaves

-
Image
 I have always been fascinated with the scripture, "And I did cause that the women should spin, and toil, and work, and work all manner of fine linen, yea, and cloth of every kind, that we might clothe our nakedness; and thus we did prosper in the land - thus we did have continual peace in the land. . . " found in Mosiah 10:5. What did women making clothes have to do with prosperity and peace? I did a mini study on this verse and similar verses which I will share later; however, today, I would like to share my thoughts on a couple verses found in Genesis 4. One talks about Adam and Eve covering themselves with fig leaves and the other mentions God covering Adam and Eve with coats of skin. This is what I learned: At the end of each post, there will be a free printable to use for your own study. Fig Leaves Genesis 3:7 (Moses 4:13) - And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. What did...
