1 CommentHow Hard I Try
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 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...

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...

No CommentsDevotions with Jane Austen
Living in an apartment may be economical, but it is not glamorous. This morning was no exception. At 6:00 am my husband and I were startled awake by a neighbor’s high-pitched, beeping alarm clock. I realize that is not early for most people, but we were both up past midnight last night finishing client projects. The...

No CommentsWeek 11
I am so behind on catching up here, so this is probably not news to you if you follow me on Twitter or if we’re Facebook friends. Chris and I are in our eleventh week of our first pregnancy. After a rocky start, things are starting to smooth out, although we still have rough nights...

No CommentsGetting to Know Ria
Chris’ parents brought his newly adopted little sister home from Russia on Christmas. We had so much fun getting to know her. It was a challenging week, to say the least, but we are so impressed with her willingness to reach out, the beauty of her heart, and the strength of her...

No CommentsWelcome 2010
I can hardly believe it’s been six weeks since I last updated. 2010 rushed in like a flood, and I’m still running to catch up. I have tons of pictures and news to share, but for now, something that’s good for the heart: I love these girls. They brighten my days and remind me of...

No CommentsLoose End Days
I am so behind on my #best09 posts, but I have a good reason – I promise. This is my final week of class for 2009, which makes it a pretty great week all by itself. I spent twenty hours in front of my laptop this weekend trying to get to this point, and now...

No CommentsThankful
I realized tonight that I’ve barely posted here four times this month, while I’ve posted some thirty-plus times over at Creative Perch. My energies have been so divided, and I apologize. Chris and I celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends this past week. We missed being with our families so much and vowed never to...
