Now that I have a bit of extra time while on break from school I decided it would be good to pick up my book The Meaning of Marriage written by Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller and give it the attention and time it deserves. Have any of you read it, or heard of it or Timothy Keller?… Continue reading An Unsolvable Puzzle
Last Sunday my husband woke up at work and could barely get out of bed. It turns out that he had hurt his back again and was in a lot of pain. Neither of us had expected this to happen again, and what I didn’t realize is what a huge lesson in appreciation God was… Continue reading A Lesson in Appreciation
I am saying this in my own personal limited experience as a parent, but I don’t think there is anything worse than hearing the sound of your toddler screaming/crying in discomfort/pain while frantically trying to find the thing that will calm her. This was how my humbling experience began this evening, and in the end… Continue reading The Scapegoat Is Out To Lunch
I am in love with the soundtrack to the musical and the movie Les Miserable. My husband and I have seen the musical twice and a few days ago we had the chance to see the movie and it was a phenomenal experience. There were some things that I didn’t quite catch when we saw… Continue reading Les Miserables – In My Life/A Heart Full of Love
Celeste is taking her afternoon nap. I could be cleaning, doing laundry, or even cooking but I’m not because it feels so nice that after 16 weeks I have free time that doesn’t need to be used for catching up on reading or working on a writing asssignment.

I had the house to myself for a little while and as I made a visit to the restroom with cell… Continue reading Santa Hustle Run
Celeste had her very first play date today and even though it was the first time she went to my friend’s house she completely made herself at home and was crawling around everywhere like she owned the place. I loved that she got to play with the babies/kiddos and us girls got to get some… Continue reading Happy Moments and Trees
It’s been an amazing past couple of days. On Friday November 16th our tiny love turned one. One! One of the things that I have always loved to do as the current year is about to end is to look back on all the events that have happened throughout the year because I’m always amazed by everything… Continue reading The Big “1”
It’s such a beautiful day in sunny Southern California that you would think it is May instead of almost mid November. One of my favorite seasons is Fall, and while I would love to see more of those overcast cool days and more Autumn leaves, I can’t help but smile when the air is cool outside… Continue reading Grateful For Life
