(*I started writing this the morning of June 19th) It’s all surreal, carpet burns on my knees as I position myself to be helpful to my Mom, rubbing her back while playing worship songs in her ears, reading Scripture over her, telling her how very grateful I am that she would call me her own, […]
Many friends and family members have asked us questions about our pending “adventure” if you will. I thought I’d post some of the questions and my answers, or lack thereof, in case you may have wondered the same… Jason got a great job, so are you going to stay in Colorado? He did […]
Ever heard the song by the Oh Hellos, “Second Child, Restless Child?” Here are the lyrics so you’ll understand me a little more, or at least this post a bit… See, i was born the second child With a spirit running wild, running free And they saw trouble in my eyes They were quick to […]
Today’s writing prompt is GLUE. GO: Yesterday Ryan glued a piece of art together at preschool but when I picked him up it was still a bit wet because they used regular glue rather than glue sticks. The teacher placed his artwork onto another piece of paper so we could carefully transport it to the […]
We spent the last week and a half driving to Southern California and back, stopping here and there, visiting friends, spending time as a family, solidifying old friendships, rekindling, reconnecting.

Thank you, thank you! Your encouragement and support, listening ears, and prayers […]

It was a fantastic job where I worked around the clock, always on call, constantly interacting with college kids, both listening and sharing, always learning, students and staff wrestling through life struggles and conflict, developing and imparting leadership skills every day […]
I wrote this blog post about a month ago…and, well, March 15th is the day after the day after tomorrow. Today a friend posted a motivational word photo which read, “Don’t be Afraid of Change.” Umm, we are on the precipice of change, like uber, major, big time, anything goes type of change, and I, for […]
We’ve read the account of Creation to our kids many times. Our oldest is in 6th grade and has gone to private, public, and home school during this time and has also learned about evolution. And this does not freak me out one bit. Because we talk about things at home, in the car, at […]
(*This isn’t a passive-aggressive “open letter”, rant-style, where I go off on your sucky behavior as a human, as it affects me or my people, but rather my own confession.) This past weekend I was curious. After several years on Facebook reconnecting with old friends and making new ones, I thought it would be fun […]
