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 […]
The One with Memory Techniques
In reference to my post about memorizing quotes from John, and in response to a couple friends’ inquiries, I thought it would be appropriate to share with you some memorizing techniques. You know, in case YOU decide to take the Psalm 119:11 challenge seriously. I’m hoping many adults in our congregation will join us. Because […]
The One with the Wicked Twisters
So Debbie may be a wimp, but I’m not far behind. I’ve always been terrified of tornados.Even the tornado drills we ran in school totally freaked me out.I used to get nauseous as soon as I noticed the dark clouds and winds rolling in.And when the undersides or whites of the leaves are showing?Forget it.I […]
More Grocery Saving Tips
I’ve always enjoyed a can of ice cold pop. Or a bag of Cheetos. Or a few Oreos. But ever since I started buying groceries with my own (or my husband’s) hard earned money, I’ve definitely changed my purchase habits. As well as my consumption habits. We stay away from pop. As well as any […]
The One with Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Have I mentioned how much I love camp?! I’m totally digging my office job (besides the whole “sit for eight hours and feel like I’ve gained 20lbs thing”) and we’re loving our trailer abode and seeing old friends again rocks. Case in point: Sara mentioned having Debbie, her husband Brian, and myself over for dinner […]
The One with Mr. Whistler
I have a stye in my eye. Not cool. I get these blasted infections a couple times a year. And I don’t know why. I don’t share makeup or anything disgusting like that. (Sorry to offend you if you do share makeup. But seriously, it’s just not cool.) However. I think I may have just had a […]
