The Strommer family began on March 10, 2001 when Christopher and Ruth were married in the Raleigh NC temple-the Strommers continued to grow with the birth of their first child,Destinee in September of '01, and grew exponentially with the birth of their son, Dalin in April of '04, and then continued on the path towards an even crazier house with their third and maybe final child, Kyle in January of '07. As our family grows and "grows up" we will keep our family and friends updated with pictures and stories of our hectic life with the military in S. Korea and now in Laurel,MD. Enjoy the reads!!

Well long time no post...but here goes for those who care....I have a job!! There, that's what's been going on....I struggle with myself making sentences, stories, lectures, conversations, (you see where I"m going) longer than they need to be..(see, I didn't need to just say that sentence) so anyway prepare for a long ramble!! I am working at my two older kids' school as a temporary (meaning at least until the end of the year, but who knows after that) Special Ed Assistant. Though one would probably think you would need special training to do so, and for parts you do..this job was truly a gift from a loving Heavenly Father above who knew getting a job in a few years when Chris goes back to school full time might be a struggle to say the least with me not having a degree, or well special skills of any kind!! So therefore as short-lived as it may be, this job will help put a little away for the future. Now onto the video...got this from a friends' blog and saw the little girl about two seconds in and it just made me smile and so very sad at the same time as I thank our father in heaven every night for the health and "normalness" of my little familys' bodies,brains,etc. but also makes me wish for that day when these precious children that I work with at school will experience a "fullness" of their bodies,brains,etc. as well. Enjoy!! ;)
Well officially this video is for two lovely ladies by the name of Kim and Kris, crafters extraordinaires and the proprietors of the craft site...The DIY Dish chocked full with crafts you can well.."do yourself!!" Hopefully they'll see it and like it, but if not then you guys can get a laugh out of it too!! ;)
I have recently found the joy in making pillows (well covers for my existing pillows) and decided to scour my house for any and all fabric that could even be construed as anything Valentiney (definetely a real word btw) and came up with these four..then I have a set of votive holders that I decorate for each holiday with paper and ribbon....now if you are still reading this novel we made some yummy "dirt" even served in little gardening buckets completed with homemade pizza!! Yummy!!
Who can tell me what movie that's from?? Making you think,huh!!?? Anyway, I tried something new yesterday and signed up for AdSense through Google for my blog and so now there will be what is hopefully "pertinent" ads to what my blog contains in my sidebar that people can click on if they're interested , and hey everytime someone does I get paid!! Don't know much about it but hey it can't hurt to try and get a little extra right!!?? Oh yeah and the Google Search bar to the right would probably be my favorite as now I have my own Google search bar on my blog that if OTHERS happen to search for something from my blog, I get paid as well (I can't click on it myself or that would be cheating Google says!!) So click and search away!! ;)
Well how about that new template!! LOVE IT!! (especially that I even figured out how to do it without erasing my entire blog or something ridiculous!!) Anyway,though there's still multiple inches of snow outside, I can hope my new background will inspire the sun,flowers,baby animals,picnics,family visits,play dates,etc. that come with Spring!! ;)
