Ready to get started back on track

So, the plan is to get things started back on track the first week of September.

Now, what I mean is that Hal and I are planning some intensive study time that first week. We have several ideas floating in our heads and we are going to try to get them TOGETHER and on paper. Now, if you know anything at all about us – you know that our planning and preparation styles are COMPLETE OPPOSITES.

This should be fun!

Regardless of how our planning/studying/preparing time goes…. we hope to have this blog working for and with us again by September 8th.

Surviving and thriving,
Hal and DeeDee

Proposed Schedule

Ok… I really have been working on the plan for this blog and for the chat nights.

Maybe a little structure and schedule will help us all.

For the Chat Nights – I have posted the schedule on the side bar for the Month of May. I will update each month.

For the Blog – This is what I hope to be able to keep going:

• Monday Meetings – somewhat of an introduction for the chat topic for that night.

• Tuesday Tips for Husbands – Hopefully Hal will be able to give us a blog on most weeks. But this will also be a time for the wives to comment and respond from their perspective.

• Wednesday Words for the Wives – I plan to have a blog with some encouragement/instruction for us ladies. But we will welcome some comments and response from the husbands’ perspectives. (Also – sometimes I will throw in a Wordless Wednesday and/or a Word-filled Wednesday)

• Thankful Thursdays – We will join other bloggers with our list of things that we are thankful for. But on this particular blog we will be focusing on the home – the family – the children – etc.

• Friday Family Fun – Plan some fun for your family. Enjoy the time with them. Share the plans so that we all can be encouragement for each other. Sometimes we just a need a fresh idea.

Next Week – I will add this to the side bar – for future reference.

Tell me what you think – will this work?

We want to be encouragement for you. The world is fighting for your home. We want to offer some help. We want your home/your family – not only to survive – but also to THRIVE.

Love to you all!

More Ideas…

Ok… since I set this up last week… it has been extremely busy. I am already thinking that maybe we will just try to have a topic for the week. And then we will both post during the week concerning the topic from our (very) different perspectives.

I also need to know if anyone that is reading is interested in having a chat. I had originally thought maybe on Tuesday nights… but have already found that I need to to change that to Monday. Will you be able to – or even want to- chat with Hal and me on Monday nights at 8:00? (CST) Let us know. Also, you may want to just try and get on the chat. For some reason…Hal’s computer will not let him. That may be a problem, huh?

Like I said in the first blog… we are still in the developing stages. Still praying. Still wanting some imput from you. You can either comment or can email me with your ideas/suggestions.

Home – where the heart is.
But sometimes the heart hurts.
Sometimes the heart is tired.
Sometimes…. you fill in the blank…

We want to help.

A New Beginning

So………..

Here we go.

Another blog.

Still in the developing stages.

I will post the plan (when I know for sure what it is!)

I think we will have certain topics for certain days.

I think we both will post – and sign our post. For your info – so you can know who is blogging the particular information/ story/ encouragement/ instruction/ question/ experience.

But for now… it has taken me so long to get it set up this far… I am exhausted… need to go to bed… will be back tomorrow.

Not only surviving… but today we are thriving 🙂
