It Happens in a Blink: January 2011
http://juliehodous.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 20, 2011. I'm leaving.on a jet plane. And in this case, I know when I'll be back, again. Tomorrow morning, I leave for Florida to meet up with 6 girlfriends for a weekend getaway! I have not gotten away by myself and gone so far and for this long except for an annual Women's weekend retreat every Spring for the last several years. I'll meet a friend at the airport and then all 7 of us will meet in Florida. WOOT! So Florida, here we come! Put out some sunshine and warm breezes for us....

It Happens in a Blink: Without Expectation
http://juliehodous.blogspot.com/2010/08/without-expectation.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. My Hubs - He calms me. He balances me out. He gives me wisdom when I know that I am lacking it. He gives me truth when I am uncertain. He is the gift that God gave me almost 8 years ago. In less than a month, we will be celebrating eight years of this wedded. Journey. What a journey it has been. If our relationship were dependent on me and the decisions I made, we would never have dated, gotten engaged or married. In all of God's wisdom, umm, INTERVENTION, He saw it fit to. Eight...

It Happens in a Blink: October 2010

Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Abundant Life on a Dime. A mere 2 months into our marriage, living in the suburbs of D.C. on his adequate salary and my occasional. Drops-in-the-can of substitute teaching, we were making it work. What we haven't forgotten and are reminded of often is, WHAT THE HECK WERE WE THINKING? We could have been saving so much money! My car was the 1st car I had purchased "on my own". I had asked my parents to come with me to make sure I didn't make an. After a couple of weeks, going b...

It Happens in a Blink: Words Can Change Everything (pt. 1)
http://juliehodous.blogspot.com/2011/02/words-can-change-everything-pt-1.html
Thursday, February 24, 2011. Words Can Change Everything (pt. 1). Moving to a different city, only an hour away, isn't quite so earth shattering to most folks. But to me, that meant P.A.C.K.I.N.G. I think moving might be one of the bigger stressors in life, probably because there is so much tied to it. An interesting thought to have to pack up boxes only to have a certain 17-month-old take everything out, no? Kudos to you military families that always have to pick up and go! First, Hubs and I met with ou...

It Happens in a Blink: 'Til the End
http://juliehodous.blogspot.com/2011/10/til-end.html
Wednesday, October 12, 2011. It has been a long time. I have not written in seven months. I have missed writing and sharing. Life has been happening and let's just say that packing boxes and moving is not my forte. But we're settled now and I am so thankful for where we have been and where the LORD has brought us. Here is what I shared:. I know that I will never be capable to love as Jesus has loved me. And to know that there is no greater love than to lay my life down for a friend? It Happens in a Blink.

It Happens in a Blink: A Chipped Plate
http://juliehodous.blogspot.com/2011/03/chipped-plate.html
Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Broiled Haddock with a Ginger Soy Glaze and Garlic Creamed Spinach. This was dinner last night. It was so delish! It was a joint effort by Hubs and me. He even made mini potato croquettes.yum! But those were a tad overcooked and looked, well, not so savory even though they tasted good. Dinner doesn't look like this every night, that's for darn sure. After a week of trying to make Ground Turkey, seven different ways, this was a sweet diversion. Although I wish I did! Last night, af...

It Happens in a Blink: November 2011
http://juliehodous.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 4, 2011. I can't cling to this life but somehow, I just want to stop the hands on the clock because it is just happening too fast. Tonight after dinner, my Special K came up to me and pulled three craft sticks out of his pocket. They were colored and he said, "Mom, I have something to show you." "What is it, sweet boy? Just when it feels like you want to yell, "Do you hear the words coming out of my mouth? My son (my daughter), pay attention to what I say;. Turn your ear to my words.

It Happens in a Blink: Beauty Bands
http://juliehodous.blogspot.com/2011/02/beauty-bands_03.html
Thursday, February 3, 2011. At 25, I was out-of-college with a degree. On the wall and living with 3 girlfriends and a very large cat affectionately know as "Brutus". I was actually working at a job I loved, staying up lat. Eleven years, one Hubs, five dwellings, three kiddos,. What I have realized over the years is that. People love to torture their bodies. I do better having specific goals placed before me rather than saying, "Oh, that muffin top has go to go. I need to lose. 20lbs" What stares back at...

It Happens in a Blink: March 2011
http://juliehodous.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Every time I sit down to collect my thoughts and maybe even start a blogpost, I freeze and the thoughts don't come together. I have so much on my mind that I do not even know where to begin. This post is my streams-of-conciousness post. Bear with me. My head has been reeling in the details of our home selling, God tweaking our path. We are trusting that His plans are higher than ours. Don't you want to know what it is? You bet your buns, Ray. Haagen Dazs - Java Chip. It was a j...
