...that we are normal! But it's not true! We are a wacky family mainly due to me and Brent. But I'm okay with that. Some people will see us as immature and they'd be right. My girls alone tell me how weird I am and sometimes their friends don't "get me". But hey, we each march to our own drummer, right?
I mean, both Brent and I are the babies of large families... we have that "baby" perspective. I am growing to like who we are, now. Where for years, I felt... well.... LESS. Funny how losing my weight can help me feel like I am... MORE.
The other day, I got a great deal on some pre-cooked frozen shrimp. So I made this stir-fry dinner (using cooking spray) with some veggies, 7 ounces of shrimp, and my "Wok with Me" orange glaze (which I can't find in Utah - only in Oregon) for my own "Orange Shrimp". Yum.
Lastly, I wanted to post this picture I took from my back porch last night.
We close on this house on Monday!!! We had to take the leaning pergola down from our back porch and now we have this view of the mountain range at night. The pic doesn't do justice to the colors that were there. It was breathtaking! I'm feeling very blessed.
Take care, my friends. Life is Good!!! XoxO ~Margene
That is an awesome view Margene. Beautiful!! Being weird is good, Mike just shakes his head at us.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a blessed weekend.
I think your kids are going to have great fun memories for a lifetime! No boring and stuffy old parents for them... they will be telling stories for years to come. :-)
ReplyDeleteNormal is boring. I try everything possible NOT to be normal! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat view is utterly incredible. Yes, you are blessed. Hope you'll post some more pics of your new home.
My family is the same way. We were always doing different things that our friends thought were weird for a family to do. I just thought we were totally normal!
