Albion Free Methodist Run for God Group This morning I ran my second 5k race–the Albion Strawberry Festival 5k–alongside 30 other green-shirted Run for God runners from our church and community. It was an exhilarating experience to be a part of something bigger than myself, bigger than a race. This group had trained together, learned from each […]
The One with Strawberries and Settlers
Do you ever have those days (or weeks) when there is so much going on you can’t seem to find anything to write about? The slower the pace of life, the more time I have to take note of the little moments of joy or hilarity or wisdom or frustration. But when it’s one thing […]
The One with our Fourth
Thursday was the 4th Anniversary of the day I married this guy– In celebration of our marriage (you see, we love each other to infinity and beyond, we laugh together a whole lot, and sharing conversation is our favorite pastime), we planned a stupendous getaway that was meant to fit in our favorite things. My […]
The One with Friday Funnies 05.18.12
On today’s episode of Friday Funnies, we will explore the beauty of wedding photos (ruined), check out some adorable Pandas, and learn how to keep your work buddies (or you spouse!) from drinking from your mug. ————– I don’t know about you, but I think this is just plain genius. Maybe that says something about […]
The One with Friday Funnies 05.11.12
My husband and I communicate often via Skype chat, namely to send computer links from one computer to the other. Many times a day, I get links sent to me from my tech-savvy husband who is constantly finding notable videos or images on sites like reddit.com or imgur.com. These sites seem to be the first […]
The One with the Pastors’ Conference
The month of April was a complete blur for me. The first week led up to Easter Sunday, and we started our long drive to Florida immediately after that service. We were in Florida for the next Sunday of church, and the following weekend, I took a drive to Ohio and then Michigan with my […]
The One with Florida in {10}
My husband and I just got back from the most blessed week of vacation. We still have yet to vacation to a “far off” land, just the two of us, since our honeymoon, but this was awesome-awesome. Kevin’s grandparents invited us to spend a week with them. They wanted to spend some time with us […]
The One with a Question for the Married Folks
Remember reading about Union28 last week? Did you all go shopping yet?! Marriage isn’t just about lovey-dovey holidays and candlelit dinners and moonlight walks on the beach. If you’ve been married longer than a month, you’ve probably figured this out. Marriage is about Paying bills together–making those ends meet. Ministering in the church together. Spending […]

The One with a Just Plain Lovely Kinda Day
Despite a few moments of bickering sprinkled throughout the day (hey, just being honest!), today was one of those days that led me to say, “This is my dream come true” at least twelve times. (Apparently, that means I have low-ish standards and/or that I don’t fully comprehend the meaning of the phrase.) 1. We […]
