I didn’t mean to be gone for a week, but I was well, gone. We had a wonderful visit with my parents and a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving. They arrived Friday a week ago tired from a long drive south. Saturday we did the park hopping. Not as in Disney park hopping, but as in local [...]
I enjoyed my first Women of Faith experience. It wasn’t quite what I expected, but I guess I’m not sure what I expected. So I’m not sure how to recap it for you. In fact, I started to and realized it was way too boring. I expected more Bible teaching ala Beth Moore or Kay [...]
My mini-weekend away was wonderful. I forgot how good it felt to sleep seven hours straight. I wanted to take the fluffy king-sized bed home with me, and when I saw a catalog on the desk I realized for a couple thousand dollars I could! I had the best of both worlds at this conference. [...]
I’m headed to the Women of Faith conference in town this weekend. I’ve never been to one and I was happy to finally not be 9 months pregnant or nursing a newborn so I could go. I’m looking forward to soaking in the speakers and worship and getting a recharge. I’m sure it will spark [...]

A year ago today around 10 a.m. The Narrator and I walked into the hospital, signed in, and sat in the waiting room watching the television. We chit chatted. Not the normal conversation you’d expect from someone about to have a baby in a couple hours. I leaned back and rested my arms on my [...]
It’s taken me longer than I expected to get everything set up here. I know some of you ran into trouble getting set up. It’s a hassle having user names and passwords, I know. I’m holding off getting back into the swing of things until I make sure I’ve helped everyone get set up (in [...]
