Ryann Elisabeth

 

Just wanted to get the word out to the blogging world about this young lady who is an up and coming Christian musician that you will not want to miss. Gabe and I got to know Ryann many years ago when she was in the High School youth group at our church. We were richly blessed then to hear her voice sing praises to the Lord. I am excited to see how God is going to use her voice now to reach many! Check out her website and listen to two of her songs. She will have an album, "the other side of empty"  released soon on iTunes. I will leave you with a few words from Ryann herself....

 "my prayer is that out of the reality of life and circumstance that is presented in the songs, you will find something deeper. you will find the love of GOD. you will find peace. you will find HIM."

11th Anniversary

Yesterday Gabe and I celebrated 11 years of marriage. Wow!! I get the cliche, "it seems like just yesterday" because it does. Time has flown by. We are incredibly blessed to have had a beautiful 11 years of marriage. My husband is a wonderful man fully devoted to God, to me, and to his children. I am still blown away that God allowed me to share my life with such a wonderful person.

We have some awesome friends that offered to keep our kids all day and over night. We decided to have a "stay-cation". When planning how we wanted to spend our kid free time, Gabe asked me what I wanted to do. Funny thing is, when you ask a pregnant woman how she wants to spend her time you are most likely going to get an answer that has to do with food. And that is all I could think about. We went out to eat for breakfast at Grumpy's, ate lunch at Dough, and had dinner and a movie at Alamo Drafthouse.

It was a fun day of eating, shopping, more eating, a 3 hour nap, more eating, a movie, and more eating. Perfection!!! Happy 11th Anniversary to the love of my life! I love you 1st Gabe!

Learning with the Landes Family

I just recently started yet another blog. I know, I know... you are probably thinking "Why is this crazy woman starting another blog when she can't keep this one up to date?" Though that may be true, this new blog will be all about our homeschool experiences. I plan to chronicle all that we do during this upcoming school year. I would love for it to serve as a yearbook of sorts for my kids. Last year I tried to keep up with homeschool posts here but lost my steam and never finished the year. So hopefully I can do a better job this year. No promises though. It is going to be a VERY busy year. In case you are ever interested in what we are doing and learning in homeschool you can visit http://learningwiththelandesfamily.blogspot.com/ or click the link on the sidebar under Our Other Blogs. Enjoy!
