In recent weeks I’ve come face to face with me. Who I am. Why I do the things I do. What makes me tick (or what ticks me off. teehee.) I have never been very good at decision making. Not that I lack the wisdom or understanding to make the right decision. Most of the […]
The One with the Business of Baking
I have many hobbies. I love learning new things, expressing my creativity, making others smile. In the past few years, I’ve dabbled in crocheting, knitting, scrapbooking, jewelry making, laptop slipcover sewing, cookie decorating, recipe creating, blogging, graphic designing, and photography. Honestly, I’ve loved every one of these activities, though some of them were more easily […]
The One with the Ten Internet Necessities
Ten Things I Forget How to Do Without the Internet 1) Request library books. Our county’s library system is pretty awesome and being able to zip onto the website and request a book to be delivered to my branch is excellent. 2) Look up health symptoms. (Though my RN of a mom is still my […]
The One with the Marriage Mission
A few weeks back, a friend of mine shared a Relevant Magazine online article with Kevin and I saying it reminded her of our ministry and hoped it might encourage us. It did. The words of this article entitled What’s the Point of Marriage echoed my deepest convictions of marriage and ministry. The Millers write, So on […]
The One with the Life Microscope
I am an open book, heart-on-my-sleeve type of gal. I love being honest and transparent with people. To me, meaningful relationships are everything. I’m not a fan of putting on a happy face, grinning and bearing it, or saying “Fine” in response to “How are you?” It’s not real. And I’m real. But the difficult […]
The One with the Childhood Friends
As I mentioned in my list of 10 reasons I know I’m a “grown up,” gobs and gobs of my friends are having baby showers and subsequently giving birth to the most beautiful tiny human beings ever. March 5th was no exception. One of my friends from elementary school was having a baby shower in […]
The One with Loans
After reading another blog post about the couple digging their way out of consumer (credit card) debt, I realized I never shared the amazingly awesome incredible news. Drum roll please…… brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…………. We are officially and completely FREE OF DEBT!! Yahooooooo!! Midway through the summer, we started having to make monthly payments on Kevin’s college loans. […]
The One with Thoughts of Spring {blog partay}
It’s been quite some time since I joined in on a blog party, so when I saw Lynnette’s Thoughts of Spring {Blog Hop} I couldn’t resist. Maybe it was the title–I have spring on the brain. Every other day it’s winter then spring, winter then spring. And then the weatherman goes and tells us it […]
The One with the Dentist. Dun, Dun, Dun!!!
I went to the dentist yesterday. Not a big deal, right? Nothing out of the ordinary? Well, it was totally on a whim when my mom mentioned getting into the dentist while I’m home for the weekend. She found me an appointment spot for 3:30pm Friday, and I was looking forward to a good ol’ […]
The One with the Daddy Dates
Tonight my daddy texted me and asked me if I wanted to go to dinner with him while I’m home. My dad asked me on a date! I said “sure!” right away, of course. I never turn down free food, after all. No, no. It’s so much more than that. Dad loves spending time with […]
