Youth group has been super entertaining lately. We’ve been doing a Relationships 101 series. It’s so great being able to share our experiences with these teens in hopes of encouraging them to be faithful to God’s plan for their purity and their future marriages. One of our students posted an anonymous question to us on […]
The One with My Best Girls
I have really fabulous friends. The four years I spent in college are completely unforgettable and irreplaceable. And sometimes…I wish I could go back. I miss my friends. But even if they lived next door to me now, it wouldn’t be the same. Nothing can compare to dorm life or sharing a house with 6 […]
The One where I Totally Took Care of the Fish Water
I will not admit my shortcomings. I will not prove to you how I am totally human. Emotional, irrational, ridiculous, silly. Not me. A few things I may or may not have done this past week. ::admitted that it is sheer laziness that we haven’t cleaned out the fish tank since Fishy died. (And to make […]
The One with the Weekend WrapUp
My parents came for a 3 night visit this weekend. It had been too long since we last saw them. Christmas I do believe. That’s crazy. I rearranged our office twice since they’d last been here. At Thanksgiving. Wow. Either that’s a long time or I’m really restless about decorating and furniture arranging. Or both. Either way […]
The One with the Sisters’ Walk
I love being a big sister. But even more than that, I love my baby sister. We were best friends from the moment I first held her in my arms. She was always a strongly independent person. Which didn’t pair well with my bossy, motherly tendencies. I wanted to do things for her and she wanted to […]
The One with Friday Nights
This is a topic that is favorite of mine. And I’m sure I’ve talked about it before. But I feel like it’s totally worth a second (or third) mention. Pizza and a Movie Friday Nights. And I’m not talking about going out to a $15 pizza and a $20 theater show. Nope. Neither am I […]
Bread Machine Pizza Dough
This is a Friday night tradition for Kevin and I. It’s so easy to throw together, I can’t imagine buying a store-bought crust! We look forward to our Friday evening tradition of this pizza and a library-borrowed movie. And the great part about making pizza dough is you can save half for later in the freezer […]
The One with a Confident Confession
I’m sure there are things you’re ashamed to admit. Right? There are, aren’t there?! No? I’m the ONLY one?! Oh well. I’ve gotta get this off my chest.And you have the right to ridicule because you don’t have any dastardly deeds. I am always completely and utterly productive. Never a moment wasted. This is why I would […]
The One with a Boring List
In the last three days I have… …gone running. outside. at sunrise.And I think I lost my glove today.Darn it. That’s a whole 50cents down the drain.…saw a dying possum beside the local fire house while on my run.It was heart breaking.For real. And possums freak me out.Though I have to admit I looked back over my […]
The One with Wednesday’s Walk down Our Lane
One of my wonderful blog friends, Jenilee, is now hosting a great blog party each Wednesday. Called “Wednesday’s Walk,” it’s a great opportunity to share a memory that you call yours alone. Anything. Anything at all. I have decided to start out with our love story. In pictures. Kevin and Melanie [circa 2004]:: He was […]
