Seriously. This has been the craziest summer ever. And it’s only been a couple weeks into June. I can’t recall a year when I saw so many intense storms back to back. In the last two weeks, we’ve had two devastating thunderstorms. Thunder like I’ve never heard. Lightening that lit the sky for hours. Winds that […]
The One with the “5K”
I feel rather accomplished. I successfully ran the 5K path around Somerset this morning. The route is mapped out for our annual Somerset Stampede-5K and Marathon in August. I have yet to participate in any kind of organized run though I have been doing the 5K thing regularly since college. I never ever in a […]
The One with the Pros/Cons of Summer*
*subject to be updated at any time. Things that are not all that perfect about being at camp this summer: dirt and sand in my shoes. too much good food readily available for my (over)consumption sitting (literally) at work. (but thankful for time to walk and move after work. :) driving back and forth. not […]

The One that’s Down in the Dumps
Fridays are supposed to be fabulous, right? I don’t know what my deal is, but my Friday has been just plain terrible. I’m in a crappy mood. I can’t seem to shake it. One of those moods where, if anyone so much as looks at me the wrong way, I may either errupt or break […]
The One with Camp Counseling Memories
Watching all of the youth programming staff do their training and bonding this week, my mind got all reminiscent on me. I was instantly transported back in time. Five years. My first summer after my first year of college. I never in a million years would have imagined spending even more time away from home. […]
The One Where My Husband ROCKS!
Today of all days is the perfect day to wear this shirt. I mean, every day is a great opportunity to proclaim my husband’s awesomeness. But believe me when I tell you, I needed to wear this shirt today. It’s a long (and shameful) story. I’ll just give you the nutshell version. It goes something […]
The One with the Tithe
Malachi 3:10 is truth. “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” The […]
The One with Blue Slushies
We’re looking into the iPhone package. This would be replacing our internet/phone/cable or cell bill. Which, according to my calculations, would actually even out financially. The only thing is, this is ATT and my family is on Verizon. And I need to be able to talk to my unlimitedly. Is that even a word? Does […]
The One where Her Love is Back.
My husband has officially moved out to camp. With me. No more “hello. goodbye. hello. goodbye.” Even though I don’t see him all that much, just knowing he’s here, well, it makes me feel whole again. Even if he does cramp my style a bit. You know, I get a routine for my days, and […]
