Last night was my last night (for awhile) as a crew leader for our church’s middle school youth group. Throughout the year, I had about four or five 8th graders each week. I had such a great time getting to know these young women. They were a joy. My time spent with them was never [...]

I received the best news last night! Ali & Troy are expecting! And not just one baby… two! CRAZY! Ali and I have been friends for a long, long time. We’ve always been able to make each other laugh, and laugh and laugh. In the early days I remember we’d laugh so much [...] I can’t begin to write about what a fun weekend we had. It doesn’t feel right in light of the devastation that happened in Iowa Sunday evening. Instead, I’d like to point you to the blog of a friend of mine. She is from the Parkersburg area originally and has recently been planning to [...] I take it back about cornmeal. This year we have zero graduation receptions to attend. Our 5th wedding anniversary is tomorrow. Love you, Josh. We’re going to KC for a couple nights in about a week and a half to celebrate. I’m getting baptized in about 2 weeks. I’m working on a baby quilt [...] My grandparents have a 50th wedding anniversary coming up next month. As my sister Emily was creating the invitations for their open house, she noticed this similar pose and did a side-by-side. Striking resemblance, isn’t it? On the left is Grandpa Chuck on his wedding day, at 20 years old. On the right [...] Earlier this month we had the privilege to attend the 30th birthday celebration of my friend Holly. Holly and I used to work together at Citigroup and we’ve kept in touch with each other since. I remember Holly talking about her 30th birthday party back when I was working and that was over 3 years [...] Last week I received a link to a video about seat belt use from my friend Sarah. I watched the video; it made a lot of sense to me. Buckling up has always been second nature. I’ll catch myself fastening my seat belt if only moving a car in the driveway. A good habit, I [...] Saturday the family traveled to Indianola to have a picnic with Justin (Josh’s brother), his girlfriend and their baby. Grandpa Doug, Grandma Jan and baby Jackson. Jude, Josh, Jett, Justin, & Jackson I’m not normally one to share recipes. Not because I don’t like to share, but because I never cared that much about cooking. But, when you’re living life on a budget as we are, that means you grocery shop for “ingredients” to make stuff. This is what I’ve learned. So here’s a recipe I really [...] Mom came last night to stay with the kids while I had an appointment this morning at 7:45 am. Afterwards, I went to get groceries in *peace*, alone. It was like magic. Even after forgetting my list, I had the presence of mind to remember (I think) everything I needed. And it didn’t take me [...] |
