3 CommentsFinishing Well
This weekend I am in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with Chris, his parents, and his little sister Ria. I can hardly believe I am saying this, but I am actually graduating from college this weekend. We visited the Regent University campus this afternoon to pick up my regalia, and I can’t tell you how much it...

No CommentsRecent Project: Deluge Band
For the last several weeks I’ve had the honor of working with Deluge, Bethany World Prayer Center’s worship band, on the design and development of their new website. We finished the site last week and launched it to coincide with their new album release. Check it...

2 CommentsPlan B
Today I announced on Creative Perch that I will be taking a break from posting on that site for a while to allow my creativity to be refreshed, to keep my priorities in balance, and to really practice mindfulness as Chris and I both manage all of the changes coming our way. There are so...

No CommentsWhen There are No Rules
Chris is reading a great book called Becoming a Dad, and he’s been sharing a bit with me here and there. Mostly, we talk about the kind of parents we want to be, or how we’ll handle certain situations. One thing he mentioned has stuck with me, though. He said that the book asks readers...

No Comments12 Weeks
Yesterday Chris and I went to our twelve-week OB appointment, and it was by far my favorite so far. No blood tests or awkwardness this time, AND we got to hear the baby’s heart beat for the first time. It was such a crazy moment. I had a closet fear that we wouldn’t be able...

It’s raining again today in Nashville. We enjoyed a glimpse of beautiful weather yesterday, but today, the storm clouds have returned. On days like today (and rainy months like these), it’s easy to let the weather outside affect my day. It’s easy to let the grayness outside to creep in, sending my thoughts on an...

No CommentsLatest Project: Hair in My Coffee
I’ve enjoyed working with Kristin Russell recently and helping her launch her blog, Hair in My Coffee. Kristin is a local (Nashville) author and hair stylist, second to being a wife and mom. She’s working on two books right now, but her fiction book, Recovering Ramona, is her priority project. There’s even word that she...

No CommentsTruisms
Yesterday morning Chris and I opted to stay home and attend church online. The in-laws were coming over, and our apartment needed a major post-illness cleaning. I have to admit, I love church online. When we were moving, it was easy to pull up Life Church on the PS3 and listen in while we packed...

No CommentsThe World Spins Madly On
I learned today that The Weepies have recorded a new album that will be out “in early 2010,” which should be soon, right? Oh, how I love them...

2 CommentsThe Apartment
As promised, I’ve posted some pictures of our apartment the night we arrived in Nashville, sans furniture or any of our belongings. (And no, that is not real hardwood.) I will admit, we do love the fireplace. It’s our favorite feature of the apartment. I don’t have many photos of the bedrooms because there is...
