No CommentsSeven Days and Counting…
So I have been blogging now for seven days exactly, and I feel the need to choose a direction or a theme. Or maybe I’ll keep this main page for updates and use the pages I’ve started in the sidebar to work out specific ideas. I’m open to suggestions. Ideas, anyone? Or does anyone have...

No CommentsBlue
Saturday night Chris and I went to see the Blue Man Group at Alltel Arena. Kristen Stracener and Derek Lewis went with us. It was a great show, and we had a blast. We saw them in Vegas in 2005, and the show was completely different. Unfortunately, it was very much like the DVD we...

No CommentsFalling or Flying

No CommentsOn Being People Who Stay
According to CNN, Americans move an average of every five years. Chris and I have been in Conway now for nearly three years, and it shocks me that this is the longest I have lived in any single place since I turned eighteen. The longest I have lived anywhere in my entire life is four...

No Comments"The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on." – Louis L’Amour
Finally, I have done it. I have signed up, jumped on the train, and started my own blog. My husband would be so proud, except that he is asleep on the couch. While he was working on falling asleep during the newscast, I was lying there thinking about all of the things I could be...
