On Tuesday I was in Spring Arbor for the monthly conference pastors’ gathering and as always I met new faces. One of them, a fellow youth pastor no less, said, “Has anyone ever told you that you look like Pam Beasley?” I was a bit taken aback and smiled my reply, “No.” I don’t know. […]
The One where You Might Want to Ignore the First Paragraph
I sit in our “office” watching Regis learn how to be a Starbucks barista (I say if he can do it [and he can’t!] I could have done it. but no. no one would hire me…) as I let the sweat dry off my forehead. I am not ashamed of my propensity for perspiring. No, […]
The One Where November Snuck Up on Me
I forgot how cool Back to the Future is. I have eaten way too much cookie dough as of late. I love getting involved in church…really involved…and having 3 dinner invitations in the same day. I am so thankful for my wireless mic. I am a bit amazed at my own confidence in playing piano in […]
The One with Our New Home
We have been so blessed in the short time since moving into the parsonage. On Wednesday I was finally able to make it to worship team practice (Kevin had exams till 9pm!) and then to prayer meeting at a family’s home. One of the ladies had a lovely gift bag for us full of our […]
The One with the Move
I know. I’ve been slacking. Or so it may seem. In actuality my husband and I have been busy preparing for “Moving Day,” settling in, and trying not to get lost in our 2,000 sq. ft. home. We had such wonderful help and great weather on Saturday. It went so perfectly. Mom, Dad, Kevin […]
The One with the Ice Cream
As I mentioned yesterday, Kevin and I had plans to stop by Coldstone in the afternoon to cash in his free treat birthday coupon. Well, lo and behold as I’m watching the 12:00 news I hear about a big time movie that is calling for extras for their filming in Greektown. Ok, ok. This is […]
The One Where Melanie Wore Socks to Bed
It’s official. We’re living out of boxes. I don’t even want to count the number of times I’ve had to dig through a taped up box to find one little item that is necessary at the time (particularly in the kitchen.) *sigh* oh well. I can hardly believe that we are moving this Saturday. […]
The One with Breakfast in Bed
It’s my husband’s birthday today. I love him to the moon and back. ♥
The One with the Pies
A little update, anyone? Yesterday I went running for the first time in a long time. Today, I feel it. I’m sore, I cannot lie, but it feels so good. (expect for the scrapes and cuts on the palms of both of my hands where I tripped and fell. Yes, I’m ridiculous.) Never in a million years […]
The One with a Tired Girl
Right now High School Musical is on the Disney Channel. And I’m very happy about it. Mostly because there was nothing else good on between 8 and 9 when my favorite show ever {Criminal Minds} comes on. But no, seriously. It’s been to long since I let down my guard and enjoyed the good ol’ […]
