Kevin and I never would have dreamed how wonderful it would feel to be back home again. It’s a different feeling then either of us has experienced in the last 4 years of college life…where you feel comfortable many places but not quite “home” anywhere. After a hot but very beautiful week, the weekend brought […]
On Tired Apples
So I would have loved to be journaling about my restful week out at family camp, but unfortunately my computer chose this week to die. Yes, it’s been acting very tired lately, but the other day it refused to restart correctly. I’m hoping I have everything backed up elsewhere cause we’ll probably have to wipe […]
10 year old classic films
I love the Parent Trap (the “new” one…as in from 1998.) It brings back such amazing memories. It was my favorite movie for the first few years it was out, and I believe I still have 90% of the lines memorized. (My knowledge of this script is surpassed only by Remember the Titans at 95%.) […]
The Five Dollar Tomato
It’s a true story. You see, Kevin and I thought it would be a very wise investment when we paid $5.00 for two tomato plants. However, we only got one tomato to ripen. So it better be GOOD. darn good. I’ve spent two afternoons with the lovely gentleman at the automotive shop. Yeah, good […]
Why pay salon prices…
…when Aldi’s sells shampoo that I’m pretty sure is Pantene in a different bottle? Is it illegal to break a lily off the plant outside our apartment building? Why do the dark red Starburst tropical jellybeans taste horrible when all the rest are wonderful? (except for maybe green.) And no, I don’t think it’s because […]
I heart Sara Luke.
If you’re wondering why, read her comments on my last two posts. First) she wants me at family camp and I feel loved. Second) she’s going to lend me her 10 seasons of Friends for as long as I need a fix. Just for that, this picture –> for old times sake (3 years ago!) […]
this just in.
First of all, you have to help me get famous. Click on these links and vote for the pictures I uploaded to the Jones Soda website. Eventually, one day, one of these photos might possibly make it onto a bottle of this pure cane sugar soda. If you have any other questions about the company, ask […]
blah.
I haven’t felt this lousy in a long time. [at this point, I began to share the details because I’m not ashamed…but I figured some of you might be weirded out by that. so you’re welcome.] Basically everything between my legs and my neck is not happy. Today was a wonderful Sabbath (despite the […]
mmm, mmm good
Thanks to the July 4th celebration honoring our country’s freedom, Kevin had the day off. (Three cheers for our first holiday together!) We had made plans the night before to return the few duplicate wedding gifts we had received. I was finally able to pack away the stack of decorations into the closet and I […]
in eager expectation
Only Grace by Matthew West There is no guilt here. There is no shame. No pointing fingers. There is no blame. What happened yesterday, has disappeared. The dirt has washed away and now it’s clear. There’s only grace. There’s only love. There’s only mercy and believe me it’s enough. Your sins are gone without a […]
