1) Our car’s muffler decided to stop functioning Monday. I heard the noise of a loud car driving near me on 94 and suddenly I realized it was ME. Yeah, not so happy about that. We got it in to the auto service station (where the two guys probably can’t believe they were seeing me […]
The One with the Stuffy Nose
Allow me to describe the wonderful last couple of days. Friday evening I picked up my husband from Wayne and we were off for Somerset. We were dreading the typical I94 rush hour stop-and-go traffic, but suprisingly we only had a short stretch of slowed driving. In addition to that, it wasn’t too hot at […]
The One with the Crunchy Leaves
It’s Friday. My poor darling is still miserably sick. I just spent a fortune in hopes he’ll feel better. We’re leaving for Somerset this evening and we’re both really looking forward to a weekend of fall camping. Seeing family will be wonderful…and then of course there’s the bonfires, the cool evenings, the hayrides, the cider, […]

The One with the Bright Sunshiny Day
Within 10 minutes of waking at 7am, I started to work on the finishing steps of the Amish Friendship Bread Jennie so willingly shared with me! I wanted to have it fresh and ready for Kevin to try before he left for school at 8:30. Despite the unfortunate dumping of approximately 7 cups of sugar […]
The One That’s Not a Book
Just a couple things: I can’t handle all the amazing new seasons of my favorite tv shows. Yes, maybe I’m a bit to attached, but Hey…when a show’s good, it’s good. I actually went as far as to make a spreadsheet with the weekly listings that we love to watch. (organization+addiction=happy girl.) Thank […]
The One Where It’s Official
I’m so thrilled to finally be able to publicly announce the wonderful way God has orchestrated this ministry opportunity. As you all remember, most of the summer was spent putting out applications at various restaurants, offices, and businesses hoping and praying for financial provision. It finally came to the point where I backed away from […]
The One with Fall Memories
Sophomore year with Britt, Emily, Hilary, and Mel Junior Year with Second West Girls and the Newtons Junior year: Mel and Britt Senior Year: We talked Kevin and Nick into joining us for the 4th annual pumpkin patch visit. A wonderful fall picture of my Love & me
The One with the Hour and a Half Solo
Phantom of the Opera. I just need a dose now and again. Not to just sit down and watch but to put in while doing other things and singing along loudly when I’m all by myself. (An analogy if you will: Britt is to Les Mis as Mel is to Phantom.) I got on this […]
The One with the Reminescing
Bear with me. This post is mostly for my own posterity’s sake. I had some good times remembering with my mom last week and thought it would be a good thing to document some of those memories. I spent lots of time at my Grandma Mary’s house growing up–at least every Friday when my mom […]
