Taking a Break

I've completed my 365 days of writing over at Pushing Forward with Grace.  I've decided to take a break from blogging altogether for awhile.  I want to focus on some other opportunities and perhaps come back ready to share more with you and the readers at Pushing Forward with Grace.  I appreciate the followers of this blog and those that follow us on Facebook.

Be sure to connect with us via one of the following so when I do start blogging again you won't miss a post!  Thanks for understanding and remember the farmers and ranchers out there help feed the world!  Thank a farmer!

Blog Sharing Workshop

As I mentioned in my Stage Fright post over at Pushing Forward with Grace,  I was invited to speak about blogging this weekend. It was an opportunity that presented itself a few months ago via a friend.  She introduced me to Angie which come to find out actually grew up in the area that we live now!  Small world and she is a true delight!  After working on the presentation the past couple weeks it was time to make it happen!

We traveled to Ellinwood, Kansas to a quaint little coffee shop called Gather.  If you are ever in the area, be sure to stop by or you can follow their Facebook page. They have daily lunch specials and cute stuff for sell too!

  

A few ladies gathered together to hear me talk about our blogs, what inspired me to start blogging, and to take a look at the behind the scenes of each blog.  Since this was my first presentation I am thankful it was on a smaller level in a more intimate setting.  We were able to converse and they asked questions which I thought was beneficial to all.  Although the wifi was an issue I feel we still had a successful time sharing and learning, me included.

Making connections is one of the reasons I took on this opportunity.  I believe connections bring forth value to our lives.  Through this experience I was able to meet new people, a chance to road trip with my sister, best friend, and a friend from high school.  The entire time was pretty enjoyable I must say, even if I was tad nervous to start! :)

I'd like to thank all those that made it happened, sent me text messages to check in, and those that attended the workshop!

Grace is a gift,

Julie

New Blog Look!

If you haven't been out to the blog lately you will notice it has a different look to it.  I decided after a couple years it might be time to have a professional create a custom look for our blog.  
My friend Laurie at Country Linked recommended Erin to help us create our new blog look. If you take a look at Erin's website you will see her talents are many. Be sure and go check he out! Her website is www.erinehnle.com.  After we saw what Erin did for Laurie on her blog, we had no hesitations about using her!  Be sure to check out Laurie's blog too if you haven't yet! Super cute kids and pigs and more!

When Erin asked us what we wanted and offered ideas, I could only come back with the fact that our (entertaining) kitchen is a good representation of us.  When I look at the kitchen that Milton built, it shows who we are.  Simple, classic, yet farm.  We feel Erin did quite well bringing that to our blog! What do you all think?  

Our lives are ever changing and 2015 will be no different I am sure.  We are in a really good place right now in our lives and we are thankful for all that we have and that we are sustained another day by our Lord.

On the blog side of things we plan to do a couple series this year and keep with our Adoption series in November.  If you know of anyone interested in helping us this year be sure to share our email address.  betweenthesunsets@gmail.com, we would really like to continue this series from year to year!

Although my other blog is written daily, it has brought me to a place of expression that I feel doesn't quite fit here at the Sunsets.  If you care to join me there I'd love to have you.
Pushing Forward with Grace I'm doing a great series of sorts over there!  #pfwg44thbirthday  Join me in donating blood in 2015 or sending handwritten letters (44).  

Before we know it spring will be here and the livestock will be sold and the corn will be getting planted!  Winter is a time for rest for us, yet we always find things on the farm to catch up on!

Thanks for stopping by!
