'The Lost Years'

My wonderful plans of entering the blog world apparently hit the fan.  When you start a blog and succeed in writing one blog post before taking a 3 year break, you realize there is the potential you weren't created for it.  However, when you decide to randomly re-read your one post (to see how funny you were of course) and a stranger has commented on it, you immediately convince yourself that you have deprived the bloggers of the world for way too long.  So I am happy to announce that I'm giving it another go.  Two jobs, two houses, and a husband later, and I'm ready to make up for 'The Lost Years'.

Tacos, Tears, and Tea Towels

I dedicate this to my wonderful friend who is still fighting the battle known as kindergarten...you know who you are. I don't know if this is just a girl thing or not, but every once in a while I just need a good cry. God made the tear duct so I could release my feelings, right? As girls, there is no telling what will set us off. It could be a song on the radio, a wonderful book, a dead animal on the side of the road (not really me...i'm not much of an animal lover), or in this case, a movie. It was my first November after graduation and I had invited the fearless kinder teacher over for dinner. We did this a few nights a week just to keep ourselves sane. Anyway, the menu for the evening was tacos. I'm sure most sophisticated families use paper or cloth napkins when eating. But for some reason we never seemed to have those on hand growing up, so it was always a tea towel. So in traditional family style, we were both sitting on the couch with our tacos, tea towels, and AB...

Through the Fire

Isaiah 43:2 "When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flame will not consume you.” There are many lessons that I have learned since our kitchen caught fire in the middle of the night on May 31st, 2018, an hour after we finally put our 5 week old baby boy to sleep in his crib. I choose to share 4 of them on social media, because so many of you walked that road with us either through prayer, material/financial giving, or emotional support. I want you to know what the Lord has taught me, and hope readers will be blessed though them. Lesson 1-“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21. The most apparent lesson that we tried to remind ourselves of from midnight on May 31 st , was this scripture. Things are things. They are temporary. Yes, they can provide some enjoy...

Crying in Kroger

'Crying in Kroger.' Strange title for a blog. Sounds a little depressing, right? Well, don't quit reading just yet...I'm about to share some of my funniest life moments with you. Just one word of warning though. There will be quite a few stories that involve tears. Some from joy, some from grief, some from pure shock, but mostly just tears from the realization that this is life after college. This is everything your parents and teachers tried to warn you about that you either chose not to listen to, or, you really did have such a rose colored picture of what 'the future' would look like that you thought they were making it more dramatic than it really is. Well, 3 1/2 years removed from the 'best years of my life,' as most would call the college experience, I can honestly say that no one and nothing could have prepared me for life. I hope you enjoy as I reminisce some moments of adulthood. 'Crying in Kroger' Date: the night before school starte...
