Holidays With the Honeycutts: Decorating a 600sqft Apartment

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….I know I already said I had started decorating for Christmas, but it took me a little while to get it the way I wanted! I I said I would post pictures once it was done so here they are! Let me tell you, decorating a 600 sq ft apartment is not necessarily an easy task.  We barely have room for our stuff as is and throw in some decorations and the song should say “We are beginning to get a little claustrophobic…”  Not really I am being slightly dramatic (I have a tendency to do that)  One of the positive sides to living in a small place is that it does not take a lot of decorations to make your apartment look festive! One day I hope to have a few more decorations collected and a bigger space to decorate, but I have grown to love our tiny first place together so I made the most of what I have!

 This little guy is my new favorite ornament.  Aaron and I went to Key West on our honeymoon, and I had never kayaked before but I wanted to give it a try!  The tour company told us the tandem kayak was the honeymooners challenge and we passed with flying colors so I guess that is a good sign! Santa is already a pro and apparently this is how he delivers gifts to the Keys!

          This bar has become my make-shift mantle.  One of my friends made it for us a wedding gift and she did an awesome job and she is just a beginner at woodwork! I love it!  AND these awesome Pottery Barn stockings were a wedding presents from good family friends and they have been using the same stocking they received as a wedding presents for 25 years so I hope they bring us the same luck!

  The picture does not do this lantern justice! There was no shortage of lanterns at the wedding so there were plenty left over and my aunt turned them into Christmas decorations and gave them to the women in my family! Isn't it cute!

   

      Have you decorated for Christmas yet?  It is always a busy time of the year, but there is still plenty of time because it is not even December yet!  So you have a small space to decorate for Christmas this year? "It's Fine!"  It doesn't take a whole lot of decorations to do it as long as you get a little creative! Until next time...

Frugal Friday: DIY Christmas Gifts

       Christmas gifts do not have to be expensive to be meaningful.  It is just comforting and exciting to know that someone thought of you, and it makes it more special that they made that gift especially for you instead of just grabbed something off a rack at the store.  This year Aaron and I do not have the extra funds to buy a bunch of people gifts, but that does not mean that we do not want to get them anything.  I have been looking on Pinterest and I would love to share with you my 5 of my favorite home-made gifts!

1.     1.  Christmas Tea Tree:  I just cannot get over how cute this idea is for the tea lover in your life.   All you need is a package of tea bags, a foam cone, toilet paper roll and a hot glue gun. This post used a paper mache box for the base but I am sure a portion of a toilet paper roll would work just fine! Pair this with a mug if you like  and you got yourself a super cute and original gift for under $10 easy (maybe even a Teavana gift card if you want to go the extra mile).

2.     2.  Six Pack Reindeer:  This is perfect for the beer drinker in your life, or anyone who drinks anything in a dark glass bottle such as coke or root beer.  Such a super easy, cheap gift.  All you need are some googly eyes, red pom poms, and some brown pipe cleaners , glue gun and a six pack of your choice!  For the beer drinker, it would be nice to do a variety pack of different craft beers, but this gift is totally customizeable and it just adds a little festive touch to an otherwise simple gift.

3.      3. Snowman Wreath: How cute is this!  I automatically thought of my grandma when I saw this, but it would be a good gift for any woman in your life. It seems simple enough! All you need are some grapevine wreaths and some white paint unless you are fortunate enough to find them in white.  You can either use one or two wreaths, depending on what size of snowman you want to make.  Just get a cheap scarf and a hat, (this blog used a hat from Party City, but I think you can be crafty and make it yourself out of cardboard) and some zip ties to attach the wreaths.  If you like, you can add some lights to it as well! Perfect part about this gift is that it is good to use all winter and not just at Christmas time since it is snow related.

4.     4.  Mason Jar Banks: I know of some younger nephews who may be getting one of these!  You just need a decent sized mason jar, a lid that contains a coin slot which you can find on amazon (unless you have some nifty tool to cut a slit into a metal lid), some spray paint and a decal to personalize it!  Pair that with a roll of quarters and you have a cute gift for a kid!

5.     5.  Princess Bags: These are perfect for the Disney princess obsessed girl this Christmas!  You just need a tote bag, some fabric or tulle, a little strip of sequins and a glue gun!  (I know I have seen the majority of these items in the same aisle at any Walmart) This gift would be easily under $5 to make!  (I think this blogger paid $3.25 for each bag) If you want to mix it up then add her favorite princess movie or doll and you have the perfect gift! 

      Writing this blog post really makes me want to craft!  If you are not the world’s greatest crafter, ir's okay!  I think most of these seem pretty basic. So you do not have a whole lot of money to spend at Christmas? "It's Fine!"  There is a whole world of DIY Christmas gifts, these were just some of my favorite! Until next time...

(Thank)Full Belly

So it is Thanksgiving and I hope everyone out there is spending quality time with their family.  I am as well because I wrote this blog post in advance!  I wanted to take this time and share a few things I am thankful for not only today, but every day of the year! (these are in no specific order, and in no way are the only things I am thankful for)

1.      My Husband:  I am thankful for Aaron every day and I know I do not say it enough.  There are days that I do not deserve his patience or his understanding.  He deals with me better than anyone else out there and he works to make me happy!  I am also super thankful that this thanksgiving is the first time I can call him my “husband.”

2.      My Family:  Not only my family but my new in-laws as well.  They have taken me in and made me feel right at home, even though I have known them for years now, I really do feel like a Honeycutt.  Both sides of the family came together and made our awesome wedding possible and for that, Aaron and I will always be thankful for.  I also love how my family accepts Aaron as one of their own and sometimes I wonder if they love him more than they love me.

3.      My Faith:  I am forever thankful I grew up in a family that taught me to love God and took me to church and showed me how to treat others. I am thankful for the religious freedom to practice my faith and that others can practice theirs too.  My faith and relationship with God has given me happiness and freed me from worries more times than I can say.  He has blessed my life in countless ways and I am thankful I can talk to Him anytime I need or want to.  I know He loves me and He loves you too and if you want to know how I know that, I’d be happy to share with you.

4.      My Friends:  I literally have some of the best friends in the world.  They are always there to make me laugh or talk about life with.  They will always be my support system and even though I do not talk to all of them every day, I know that we will remain close! I know I am not saying much about them now, but I plan on blogging about a few of them in the future!

5.      Graduate School:  I am thankful I have the opportunity to attend graduate school!  I worked really hard to get to this point and kept going even when it did not look like it was going to work out.  I know I have found the career field for me and I am so excited to start school in January so I learn all that I need to!  I am also thankful for my job in Charlotte because it gave me some invaluable experience and I had some awesome co-workers who were even better teachers.  When I found out I was accepted this summer it was one of the happiest moments of my life!

6.      Comfort:  This is a blanket term I am using.  I am thankful for a roof over my head, clothes to keep me warm, food on the table, and the fact that there are luxuries in my life that I forget I am blessed to have such as a cell phone or a car.  There are plenty of people out there who do not have these things and would have been lucky to eat a meal half the size we ate today. 

7.      This Blog:  Although I know it is not a super popular blog, I am thankful for my new found love of blogging!  I love that I can share my thoughts and experiences and a little bit of advice.  A few of you have told me you have been reading it and loved it and that is an awesome compliment.  So I am thankful for those of you who are reading, and even if I didn’t hear from you I would keep blogging because I think it is a lot of fun!

I know this is a pretty basic list of things to be thankful for, but they truly are some of the things I cherish most.  There are about a thousand other things I could write about but I just wanted to share these thoughts with you! So you are completely stuffed and passed out on the couch? “It’s Fine!”  This day only comes once a year so enjoy it! Happy Thanksgiving! Until next time…

Personal Podcasts Preferences

I (surprisingly) have been fairly busy these past few days to prepare for our Thanksgiving travels.  Bright and early tomorrow morning we are headed to Monroe, North Carolina to spend Thanksgiving with Aaron’s family.  We got the oil changed, washed the car, cleaned the car (I’m messy), filled up with gas, baked some pumpkin bread, did the laundry, and packed!   Monroe is a few minutes away from Wingate, where we went to school, and about 30 minutes from Charlotte so I love any opportunity to go back, it feels like a mini homecoming!  Before we got married I spent almost two years living in Charlotte and I loved every bit of it (except being long distance from Aaron)  It is part of our not-so-distant future plan to move back there even though I will always be a West Virginia girl at heart!

 I do not know about you but I love road trips, especially if someone else is driving because that means I have some company and I get to nap (yes I am THAT passenger)!  One of my biggest annoyances is when the radio stations lose signal and you hear the white noise during a song you love, so am trying to plan ahead and have some podcasts downloaded and maybe make a playlist to make the time go by faster.  Currently, one my favorite podcasts is NPR’s game show “Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!”  I love puns and the jokes they make and I laugh the whole time, plus one episode is close to an hour so it is great for road trips.  Aaron likes it too but he can only take about one to two episodes at a time.  Another one I love is “Criminal.”  Each episode tells a story about something related to an illegal act.  It could be about the person who committed a crime, or it could be about something that is illegal that you may not know about, or it could be about people investigating illegal things.  I learn something new every time I listen to it.  Of course there is also the “Serial” podcast if anyone hasn’t heard of it by now.  Both seasons are awesome and would definitely pass the time.  If anyone has any podcasts they love I would love to hear your suggestions.  We love to laugh and I am a lover of fun facts so I’d love to find a good funny, (kind of) educational podcast.

So you got a long roadtrip planned for the holidays and need something to pass the time? “It’s Fine!” There is a whole world of podcasts out there and eventually you’ll get to your destination and be with your family. Until next time…

Frugal Friday: Black Friday

Next week is Black Friday…to some, this is like the Super Bowl of shopping.  When I was probably 14 I went for the first time with my mom.  She went every year because that was the best way to purchase that one big item on any of my siblings Christmas lists.  It was like a rite of passage that I was allowed to go.  The one downside was that I might know some of my own Christmas presents and I definitely knew some of my siblings, so I had to keep a secret for almost a month.  For those of you who know me, that is really, really hard.  Black Friday shopping was so exciting to me.   We would get there before the store opened and wait in line and it would be freezing, but it was almost half the fun.  We always made friends in line (as long as they were not there for the same items we were of course…)  and waited until they finally opened the doors and then everyone tried to get that one limited supply, coveted deal they had waited in the cold for.  

When we used to go, stores opened no earlier than 6am, and then it became 5am for a few years….then 4am (still doable but early)…..then it was midnight on Thanksgiving night. When that happened, I was mad, but then I decided it wasn’t so bad.  You do not have to wake up early, you can get your post-turkey nap and head out after your family has gone to bed.  Then you are still getting your quality family time and potentially, your Black Friday deals.   Then about two years ago, stores started opening even earlier on Thanksgiving evening.  That is where I drew the line for many reasons.  There are a lot of good deals and savings out there, but come on!  Do not sacrifice family time for a discount! (and that is me saying this…and I am all about a bargain) 

Now this post is called Frugal Friday and so far, it sounds like I am telling you not to take advantage of Black Friday deals…wrong!  You can get some deals without even leaving your couch!  Most of the deals you can purchase online!  I know many of you have probably heard about bfads.net, but if you haven’t check them out!  They have Black Friday ads for all stores uploaded on their site as they are released.  They are a one stop shop to pre-shop the sales.  They also have a list of deals that are happening all week.   That’s right! You do not have to wait until Friday, a lot of sales have already started!  For example, Amazon has a year subscription of Prime for $79 today only (11/18) when it is normally $99.  There are all kinds of deals, you just have to be willing to do your research and decide what you want to go after.    There are some stores like Sephora for example that will have deals for only app users so if that is your thing, download the app and be on the lookout!  (Sidenote: if you are after items from Sephora or Ulta, my biggest piece of advice is to order it online because they always throw in some pretty good free samples.)  Say you love going out in the crowd (I know people like that), bfads.net already has the store maps uploaded for Target and Walmart so you know exactly where to go when you get  there.  Another tidbit about Target especially, there are a lot of items that they cannot necessarily discount, but they give gift cards with purchase so that is another way to save!  This website has it all, but it is also overwhelming because there are so many different ways to shop now.  But just be patient and take time to plan it out and do not sacrifice time with your family, because there are a lot of ways to snag deals without leaving your house Thursday.  I hope this helps anyone who is a Black Friday newbie!

So you want that Black Friday deal for a Christmas gift but want to stay home Thursday? “It’s Fine!”  You can snag your deals and discounts without even leaving the house through online shopping and shopping early! Until next time…

Winter is Coming

Hi Everyone!

            So yes, the title of this post is a Game of Thrones reference.  Aaron and I just finished binge watching all six seasons. We were super behind on this but loved it and are patiently waiting until June for the seventh season.  I have never watched a show that plays with your emotions quite like this one. I go from being sad to laughing to angry all in a matter of two minutes.  It definitely keeps you on your toes.  Now I need recommendations for new shows for us to watch.  One of our ways of saving money is not having cable.  This was actually a pretty hard thing for me to give up.  I love channel surfing and finding something on the TV that you didn’t even know you wanted to watch.  Also, one of my favorite shows in the world is Good Morning America.  I get my world news, pop news, and a little dose of humor to start my day, but now I cannot watch it and I am having withdrawals.  So, we are sticking to Netflix and Hulu and we might be switching to just one of those providers, we haven’t decided yet.  So, we need a new show! Preferably one that is completely finished so we are not stuck waiting on the next season, but any good show will do. Suggestions are welcomed!

            Today, Aaron is gone ALL day long.  He has his chemistry honors fraternity inductions tonight and he is probably not going to be home until after 9. (Yes I married quite the nerd!)  So while he works and leaves me home un-supervised, I cannot help it if the apartment is decorated for Christmas by the time he comes home tonight.  Like I said, winter is coming and I like to stretch the Christmas season out as long as I can. If he had his way, Christmas decorations would not go up until after the start of December and come down before New Year’s.  I will save most of the ornaments for us to decorate the tree together, but I will probably put everything else up!  Once I have the apartment the way I like it, I will put some pictures up in a blog post.  I also plan on ordering our Christmas cards today.  (Little sale alert: shutterfly.com has a 50% off photo books, 40% off stationary, and 30% off everything else code that ends tonight!)  I am just ready for the holidays, there is so much to look forward to!  Be on the lookout for my Frugal Friday post, I am going to start working on it today, and since Thanksgiving is next week, I am going to share my thoughts on Black Friday!

            So Aaron is gone all day and I cannot watch Good Morning America anymore?  “It’s Fine!” because I’m not cooking tonight and I get to decorate for Christmas early! Until next time…

Frugal Friday: This One's For My Four-Eyed Friends

Hi Everyone!

So, I was thinking about my blog.  Right now, it has kind of served as my online journal which is great but I would like to sort of switch it up.  Today I am starting Frugal Fridays.  Each week I am going to tell you guys about something I do to save money!  Aaron and I are trying to live off his graduate school stipend until I am done with school which will be a challenge, but I am up for it, because that means less to pay back in student loans.  This will also mean sacrifices will be made, but maybe not as many as you might think.  I am going to try to take this opportunity to get as creative as I can to find ways to save a few dollars here and there. I am not the world's greatest at saving money (I am actually much better at spending it!), but if I can give some new advice or tips to someone then I will consider that a win!   

For my first Frugal Friday post, I would love to tell you about Zenni Optical®.  They are an online retailer of prescription glasses.  They have over 3,000 styles of frames for men, women, and children starting at $6.95, and this includes the price of the lenses...yeah you read that right, the lenses are included in the price!  I ordered a pair last year after my uncle told me he had used them for years. I was a little nervous, but I only wear my glasses at night after I take my contacts out so I thought it was worth a shot.  When you go to order, you will start by picking out the frames.  There are plenty of options and when you click on a style, you can see what it looks like on the “model” on the side of the screen.  The style I picked out was $25.95,  then they prompt you to put in your prescription.  They will ask for your “pupillary distance” which is the distance between your pupils so It is important not to get that wrong.  It would be best to have someone help you with that.  I ended up being up-charged $9.00 for having such a strong prescription (I am basically blind without my contacts) and I added the anti-glare coating for $4.95.  After shipping I paid $44.85 for a pair of glasses.  I LOVE them!! I thought they would be low quality for the price, but I have had them for a little over a year now and I have no complaints.  I fall asleep in them all the time and I bend them like crazy and they do not come close to breaking. 

If you do not have vision insurance, or if you use your coverage on contacts, then I highly recommend you check out Zenni Optical.  There is no need to break the bank just to get a pair of glasses.  They even carry bifocal lenses and sunglasses!  Maybe you already have a nice pair of glasses and want a bright purple or lime green pair to go with that one outfit? Check them out! I just got an updated prescription and I am planning on ordering another pair this week.  If you end up giving them a try, let me know how you like them!

So you need a new pair of glasses, but do not have the extra money to spend right now? “It’s Fine!” Because you can easily get a stylish, quality pair of prescription strength glasses for under $50.00! Until next time…

Let's Get a Physical, Physical

Hi Everyone!

            As you know, I am starting graduate school in January so I need to have vaccines and a physical and all this other stuff to get ready for that.  On my schedule this morning was my physical exam.  I started out at this one doctor’s office and I was back in the room and filled out the paper work I needed to and answered all the questions with the nurse and told her I had a form I needed filled out by the doctor.  We go out in the hallway for her to take my weight and after she looked directly at me and in the most soft, serious voice and asked, “Do you need to empty your bladder?”  I do not know why that question took me so off guard and I had to try not to burst out laughing (I do not think she thought it was a funny question).  The thoughts that raced through my mind were: “does she think I weigh too much so I must be carrying around some extra ounces in my bladder?”, “am I going to have to pee in a cup?”, “why didn’t she just ask if I had to pee?”  I just answered “no” and we went on with the almost exam.  The doctor came in the room and looked at my form and she told me they do not do that kind of physical there.  I just informed her the website said “complete physical exam” but apparently the website should say “almost” complete physical exams.  She told me where I needed to go and sent me on my way without being billed (bless up!) but also a huge waste of my time!  (but I guess I should have asked the right questions when I called to schedule the appointment so, my fault.)  I did end up having my physical done somewhere else so “it’s fine!”.

            I told my husband this morning I would go to the grocery store because he did not have the supplies to make the sandwich he normally takes for lunch (woops!)  So on my way home from the doctor I ran into Kroger’s.  When I get stressed, I get hungry and this morning’s doctor mix up kind of stressed me out.  Fun fact about me (and most people probably), I should not be allowed to go grocery shopping when I am hungry.  I went in there for two things and I came out with around 10.  I did not need most of what I bought.  I am trying to watch what I eat without calling it a diet.  I like to think of it as being smarter about my food choices without counting any insert nutrition facts category here.  We are just going to call today’s trip to the store a loss on that front!  But I did buy one thing that I do not feel too bad about.  I do not know if anyone has heard of Halo Top ice cream but they are a creamery that sells ice cream in pints that range anywhere from 240-360 calories in the whole pint.  They had their pint of “lemon cake” on sale today.  (Another fun fact about me, I am a lover of all things lemon and most citrus in general) Of course I had to buy it!  I had a spoonful before I wrote this blog post and it is pretty good!! I was slightly skeptical but I can tell you that it does not taste healthy. (No this is not an official review, I just thought I'd do my readers a favor and fill you in)

            So I hit a little road bump at the doctor’s office and bought bad food at the store but you know what? “It’s fine!”  I got my physical taken care of and I saved $0.30 on overpriced but "healthy" ice cream! Until next time…

You Pick Two

This blog post brought to you from the chemistry lab!

            We are in the middle of searching for a “home” church in Morgantown.  Today we went to our second church and we think we like it, but I’d like to go to a few more just to find out if it’s “the one.”   If I have any readers who spent time in Morgantown and had a church they liked I would love suggestions! Right now we are just using google to find options.

            Aaron’s P.I. in the chemistry department wants him to have a lot of answers for her this coming week so that means it is back to the lab today!  He asked nicely if we could go after church so I packed up my computer and am sitting here quietly while he does his work.  In case you are wondering what a P.I. is, let me tell you!  When one goes to graduate school for chemistry, you are supposed to join a group under a professor who is doing an area of research that interests you.  The professor that is over that group is called a “Principle Investigator.”  They oversee your individual research project or projects and give you advice and suggest things you could do differently. When your research is successful, you get to publish a paper in an academic journal and the P.I. gets their name on it too! They are basically your boss so when she says I want to know this by Wednesday, you get her the answers!

            I am also a science minded person, but I have always been more interested in biology than chemistry.  I took chemistry in school, but I only understood enough to get by.  One of the only reasons I passed organic chemistry is because Aaron was my lab partner! No, I did not cheat, but he did help me with my lab reports, and “it’s fine” because we shared data. (At least that is what I told myself so I didn’t feel bad about it) A wife should be interested in her husband’s work, and I do want to know if he feels good about his research, but that is about where it ends.  When he starts explaining exactly what he’s doing, it goes in one ear and out the other, not because I don’t care, I just cannot grasp the concepts no matter how many times he tells me.  I am just going to sit here and let him do his thing!  

            So it is Sunday afternoon and we are both in this cold lab, but you know what? “It’s Fine!” because I am wearing a $100 flame retardant lab coat to stay warm (safety first!), we are still spending time together, and Aaron just said the magic words, “I got a Panera gift card if you want to walk down the street and get us lunch.”  Until next time…

Clearance Sections: The Gateway Drug

Saturday and Sunday are my two favorite days of the week because that means Aaron is staying home and we get to spend more time together…except today when he told me he had to stop by the lab for a few hours…boo!

Let me tell you a little more about us!  He is from Monroe, NC and I am from Charleston, WV.  When I graduated high school, I wanted to go to a smaller school for college, so I did a little research and found Wingate University in Wingate, NC. Go Bulldogs! (It’s homecoming this weekend so I have to give a little shout out) This is where we met freshmen year.  I was invited over to his dorm by a few girls that lived in my hall because they were best friends with his roommate.  That night, we discovered we had chemistry together, Chem 101 that is!  We became fast friends and eventually decided to try being a little more! We were college sweethearts and rang in the New Year in 2015 with an engagement and got married last month! 

On today’s agenda was to drop stuff off at Goodwill and to go to Target to purchase a Christmas tree because the one I wanted is on sale through their Cartwheel app.  I cannot pass up a sale and I hate to pay full price for anything!  We decided to go inside Goodwill and poke around before heading to Target and I am glad we did!  We snagged a 7.5ft pre-lit Christmas tree for $7.99!! (It works too…I searched until I found an outlet to test it) Of course we still went to Target afterwards but I checked Christmas tree off the list!  Other people have marijuana or other drugs to get high off of, I have bargains!  Nothing makes me happier than saving money.  Not because I am super stingy, but why pay full price if you do not have to! I kinda feel like it is a paycheck from the universe.  I have been told finding things on sale is my super power.  You best believe that deal at Goodwill has put a smile on my face for the rest of the weekend!

So it is Saturday and I am spending a few hours alone, but “It’s Fine”! He will be back soon and I got a Christmas tree for under $10!! Until next time…

The Real Housewives of Morgantown, WV

Hi Everyone!

My name is Molly I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to a new city because that is what we do for love!  My husband’s name is Aaron and he is working on his PhD in organic chemistry at West Virginia University.  I am starting graduate school myself in January so it is extremely convenient our studies took us to the same place!  Since I do not start school for two months, I am just kinda hanging out until then.  I could get a job but I do not plan to work during school so until then I am housewife.

I am not cut out for this life. Word to the wise: Unless you have children or a job where you can work at home…don’t ever be a housewife!! Do not get me wrong…I do not mind doing the cooking and cleaning but that can only occupy so many hours a day.  Aaron leaves around 7am and comes home anywhere between 5-7pm at night.  He is very dedicated to his studies and lab work and I admire him for that and I want him to be successful, but that means I am alone most of the day in a new city with no friends.  I do not like being alone, not because I am afraid, but love to talk and share my thoughts.  I know I am driving my friends and family crazy with texts but I cannot help it. (It’s either drive them crazy or myself..)

What do I do to occupy my time during the day?  I am working on organizing our apartment with all our new wedding gifts (#blessed) and now I decided to start this blog!  I am using this to share my thoughts during this new journey.  I am loving marriage, but this new city is a bigger adjustment than I thought it would be.  I did not realize how many hours were in a day until I did not have a job or school to occupy 8ish of those hours.   I used to think the drama on those Real Housewives shows on BRAVO was put on for the cameras, but now I think some of it could be true…they are rich, have rich friends, don’t have to work…what else are they going to do to amuse themselves but cause drama with their friends.

Why title my blog “It’s Fine”?  Per my friends in college, that is my phrase.  No matter what was happening, I always said “it’s fine.”  One of them burnt the cookies? “It’s fine.”  Got a “C” on a test? “It’s Fine” No matter what happened, even if it was not according to plan, my answer always seems to be “It’s Fine.”  When you stop and think about things, there are only few things that can happen that would not be “fine”.  Things can always be worse, and no matter what, we are blessed and lucky!

So even though I am bored and lonely during the day, “It’s fine!”  I got a husband who loves me, a roof over my head, a God with a plan for me, and friends and family who are only one call away! Until next time…
