Home Sweet Home!

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Well, it’s official — we’re home owners!  We closed on the house 2 weeks ago, and we’re so anxious to make this house a home.  We’re realizing that it will definitely take some time to get the walls painted and furniture in place, but it will happen, in time :) We’ve at least made the [...]

Up and Around

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

We just received news that Mom has finally been given permission to get out of bed!  I can only imagine what a relief it must be for her to stand on her feet for the first time in almost a week!  A Physical Therapist will be visiting her room momentarily to ensure her leg is [...]

Update on Mom

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

I know there are many friends and family out there who would like to know how my mom is doing. I figured it was time to dust off the old blog in order to get an update out. A few weeks ago, Mom began complaining of cramps in her left leg.  She noticed a bit [...]

A Love Story.

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Since I’ve neglected my poor little blog, many noteworthy life-events have occurred.  In an effort to play catch-up, I’ll start with my favorite news… As my 24th birthday approached, I found myself hesitant about entering my mid-twenties.  What’s there to look forward to on your 24th birthday? Six years from 30?  One year from a [...]

Christmas Reflections

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

I know I have been majorly lacking in my blogging lately – and if I kept anyone on the edge of their seat, I am so very sorry :).  To make up for it, I wanted to post a catch-up entry about the most wonderful time of the year. First off, I am so blessed [...]

The most wonderful time of the year

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

The Holidays are quickly approaching, and there is one is particular I’m most excited about… Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving is by far my favorite Holiday, and this year I will be celebrating with my immediate family at our humble abode.  I can’t wait for our family to be together, the amazing spread of food, and, best yet, [...]

Happy October!

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

I love that the Fall weather is officially here!  Now that it’s October, I can start bringing out the Fall decor, the cold-weather clothes, and all those spiced sented things!  Why is it that the change of seasons brings such a feeling of new-beginnings and rejuvination?  Just when you feel like you need a change [...]

Week one in review

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

The first week on the job has come and gone, and I found myself floundering a little more than I expected! Don’t get me wrong, I love the new work and the new challenges, but I never would have anticipated that working from home would present such a challenge. First of all, I don’t exactly [...]

The Last Days

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

I’m in the home stretch – 2 more days at Mt. Bethel. I can’t believe that after 3 years of working at the church, I only have 2 days left. The past couple weeks have felt as if I have crammed a years worth of work into two weeks. I am so burnt out and [...]

Finding Independence

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I figured while I’m in the process of making big purchases, and sorting through life’s twists and turns, I might as well find a new job too… you know, just to make things interesting. Well, that’s pretty much what I did – but I wasn’t even really looking. I have realized that one of the [...]
