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...

1 CommentChange is Gonna Come
We’re finally enjoying a season of beautiful, sunny Fall days here in Central Arkansas. This is my favorite time of year and why I love Fall so much – not the wet season that was October. Oh, so much to share and not sure where to begin… ! The change in seasons is bringing change...

No CommentsI’m Coming Your Way
I don’t often share about my personal life or my spiritual commitment, but a few things are pressing on my heart, and I wanted to share them with you today. This post is very different than usual, but I hope you’ll bear with me. Yesterday morning in my devotional time, I opened my Bible up...

No CommentsMaking Room for Growth
Last weekend I harvested two and a half pounds of green beans, three pounds of Roma tomatoes, and tons of bell peppers. It was a wonderful feeling to see so much produce on our counter, to know that we had grown it ourselves, and to feel that sense of accomplishment. Then on Monday, I pulled...

1 CommentU2 at Soldier Field
Chris and I had an amazing weekend last weekend. We went to the Notre Dame v. Michigan game in Ann Arbor with his brothers, a cousin, and a friend on Saturday. Then on Sunday, he and his brothers and I went to the U2 concert at Soldier Field in Chicago. It was an AMAZING trip!...

No CommentsThe Weariness of Midday
Many years ago when I was an intern, I found this quote by Dag Hammarskjold, wrote it on a sticky note, and posted it in my cubicle: “When the morning’s freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles quiver under the strain, the climb seems endless, and, suddenly, nothing will...

No CommentsFighting Mosquitoes with Style
Chris and I love just about nothing more than a quiet evening spent together outside on our back porch. We have big plans to build the perfect deck, as well, but a common enemy keeps us inside most evenings – the mosquito. I’ve tried citronella candles and bug-spray, but bugs often land in the candle,...
