I attended a friend's Memorial service this morning; worked all day; enjoyed our family dinner with Mimi & Papa; went to a Russia mission meeting to learn about a summer mission opportunity this evening; read Brit a bedtime story; did 20 minutes of Pilates and just had an unexpectedly long and really good conversation with Chris...we wanted to get in bed by 10:30 but alas it's pushing midnight! I was able to bake a batch of tollhouse chocolate chip cookies today at work for a band and NOT eat a single bite! This is huge for me!
My emotions have been high today because we found out the courts granted Baby Thunder's Aunt & Uncle custody of him until his parents are deemed "fit" by the state. I want so desperately to go visit him. Tears are plentiful these days.
Just wanted to give you a brief snapshot of my day.
Ready for another day....

"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson
About Me
- Brooke
- Hi there, Let me tell you a little bit about this FRUGALadee. My sweet husband and I have been married for 9 years and have two amazing little ones - ages 4 and 2. We are fostering our 2 year old little boy in hopes of adopting. It's a long process but I'm trusting God as we wait. By day, I work as an Office Manager at a counseling organization and the rest of the time I manage our home. In my spare time (ha!), I'm a professional organizer. I am learning to live in the moments (instead of the past or worrying about the future) and revel in God's unexpected blessings TODAY! While I don't reuse paper plates or line dry our clothes, we're doing what's needed and best in this season of our lives. I'm always looking for new creative ways to save...time & money.
