• My Friday Night Broken Heart

    Last Friday our church had a documentary screening on human-trafficking. It wasn’t our typical relax-over-homemade-pizza-and-TV Friday activity, but we decided to go anyway, reluctant as we were. The video was about 90 minutes long, and afterwards there was a panel of church leaders and members who shared how they were helping in the area and

  • Home Improvement:

    Raise your hand if you relate :) Decluttering Remember that long list of rules to keep, donate and toss? Two Saturdays ago, a certain someone woke me up at 5 am (hint, it wasn’t my sweet husband who loves when I sleep in), so I decided to get started on that long list of decluttering

    Watching… birds on my patio. So far the squirrels haven’t discovered my bird seed, and I’m hoping it stays that way.  Enjoying… work. I know, an unusual thing to enjoy, but I am. This time last year I was drowning in my old job. While I loved my company and coworkers, the work I was

  • Second Anniversary

    One of the reasons I like blogging is because it serves as a journal to document my days. Right now I can remember what we did for our second anniversary, but I guarantee you in a year I will probably have forgotten most of the day’s details. So, this is one of those what-I-did posts; thanks for

  • Lessons in Marriage: Decorating with a Boy

    One of the hardest adjustments after getting married was decorating with a boy. It was hard because I honestly never considered it being an issue. I just assumed J would gladly give me full reigns and let me decorate however my heart desired. But as it turns out, apparently boys don’t like it when you

  • April 9th

    April 9th is my favorite day of the year. Two years ago it trumped any other birthday or holiday. I remember all of the details. Things you normally forget hours afterwards, I remember years later. Sneaking out of bed and joining my mom for coffee in the sunroom before the sun, or my bridesmaids, woke
