Wrapped around your heart

To My Husband:I am writing this to say that I am going to be with you anywhere you want to be , today , tomorrow , and forever. We will see highs and lows, have tears and laughter, lose dreams and achieve new ones. And I know right now it feels like we must start over from the beginning on all the dreams we lost last year. I also know it will try our patience and our love to rebuild them again, but God has given us a new year and has given us His strength to make it through. I love you , always have and always will. This crazy whirlwind , roller coaster ,  life will never change my love for you...... I will always remain wrapped around your heart because your heart and your love is one of few constants in my life. As you always say " I choose to love you ".........And I must say, you are one of the best choices I ever made.
                 Love, Your Wife

Friends with a Pig

Mmmmm! Tastes like swine flu

Most of my blog followers know that my husband has the flu, in fact he not only has it, he has become good friends with it, and a yo-yo  fever for four days. During one of his "I'm feeling better, so I can crack jokes and watch cartoons moments", he was watching a cartoon starring a pig , and on a commercial break he snorted out a little laugh and said"HA! MAYBE I HAVE THE SWINE FLU". In response to this new revelation and diagnosis brought on by a cartoon , I of course rolled my eyes and explained away his diagnosis with another cartoon , saying " If the swine flu where real ,Winnie the Pooh would never be friends with Piglet for fear of contamination". At the time my statement settled the swine flu issue, but now that I think of it , Winnie the Pooh does carry around a big pot of honey, perhaps it is to put in his tea when he becomes sick?........ So maybe swine flu does exist.......... Shhhhh don't tell my husband.

My Favorite Otter Pop flavor is ........ Pickle!

Of all people my husband knows best that I love those individually bagged pickles at the gas station , but my loves grows far beyond the fact that they have no calories and are salty and tangy at the same time. My favorite part of having a bagged pickle is saving the pickle juice for last and then sucking it out of the bag as my husband laughs hysterically at my pickle pucker face. And lo and behold I have come across a treat that leaves me a bit confused and excited . I have been alerted by the web that there is a pickle of a Popsicle called Bob's Pickle Pop or the Pickle Sickle , this Popsicle has a website, theme song , and even an I Phone app. I have not tried one as of yet ,but will add it to my list of things to do before I start pushing up the daisies or croak, as my Dad likes to put it. If I have peaked your interest you can check out the Pickle Pop website at http://www.bobspicklepops.com/ .

Still Here!!

I apologize for not posting in such a long time ....... I know I missed posting for Christmas and New Years and my two Year Anniversary ,but things have been so busy. Jeff and I find ourselves in Arizona now and he is currently working for an electric company as an apprentice. But Jeff still has the desire to work in law enforcement or a military environment . So we will be speaking with an army recruiter this weekend to see if that is something we are interested in doing . Of course we have many reasons for considering the military, and a major one is that we enjoy time spent with military couples and we strongly feel that the Lord can use us in such a position. Many have tried to discourage us by reminding us of that great fear "deployment". I choose not to dwell on that fear. I am not naive I know that my husband could very well be sent somewhere dangerous, but I believe that the Lord will continue to dwell in both of our lives and give us both strength for that journey as well. I would love some input from those of you who love Jeff and I , and would greatly appreciate prayers for guidance as to what we should do.

Taste the Rainbow Cake Or ROYGBIV the Jon Byerly Way

First and foremost I must note that no children were harmed in the making of this cake. Secondly I must tell you the story of said multicolor cake. In a galaxy far far far far away........... or better known as Tennessee, there lives a girl by the name of Rebekah. Rebekah has an affection for Rainbow Cakes , and for some bizarre reason my brother was given the task of finding a Rainbow cake and preparing it for her. After many months he fulfilled the task assigned to him. Here are some photos of my brother Jon finishing up the ROYGBIV confection.

Rolling up the sleeves , and slappin on the first swipe.

     

Skillfully wielding the spatula, spreading oh so gracefully.

Determined to get every last bit onto said rainbow cake.

An almost wordless Saturday



Sad sleepy eyes...... Learned this from his first dog buddy Suzie.



Remy falling into a snooze.



Lovely farm in Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania.



Jeff at Cabelas playing a target game.






This is diesel.... but his ears got chewed off by a dog....
My friend Mrs Rogers says he is a bit "touched" but he is the
sweetest cat ever and so tolerant.



My husband and brother in law had to have pretzels,
before we left town..... A whole box!!

Some pretty neat mounts located in Cabelas......
My brother in law Jon taught me how to tell if the
deer is a Whitetail or Mule by just looking at the rack.



I've Been Everywhere !!

My new theme song is "I've Been Everywhere" by Johnny Cash . And  if your not familiar with the song,  I have posted  a few dear to my heart lines from the chorus.

I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert's bare, man.
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.

And I have!!! In the last two weeks I have been to: Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,Indiana,Ohio,Pennsylvania, Maryland,Virginia, and Tennessee. I have alot of fun pictures to post and will get to posting them by Monday. But in the meantime I just wanted to make it known that I am still blogging ......... Seventy five percent of the time I never know where I will be, but my promise is that you will always find me here.
