I used to be a hopeless, negative wretch. I saw it in my own face on our 15-year-old wedding video. Even though I looked sooooo pretty, I didn’t have HOPE. Come see what it’s all about, along with a cool pic of Rob and me.

Possible subtitles for this post include:
Maturity. What to do when you get it and your former friend doesn’t.
Don’t get caught up in every emotional trainwreck that comes your way.
Effects of “Life before Christ” trying to bite me in the butt… but guess what! My Guy wins every time!
Thank GOD I am not like that anymore.

I got my haircut yesterday and playing on the XM radio at the salon was a plethora of Michael Jackson hits. I related to my stylist (at 25, nearly 10 whole years younger than me!) about the time in 5th grade that BFF Terri and I sat behind the school with her actual Old School [...]

I had an epiphany last night. I had been playing my piano for a long time and was working on a new hymn. I was so moved by the words and just laid my head on the piano and cried. I’m so thankful that I am not the same person as I was at my lowest.

I can remember the day I told Rob, when he came home from work, that I was leaving him if things didn’t change. He was away from home around 65 hours a week at a job that took him so far away from me physically and mentally. He was so into his work, and we [...]

What started out as rebooting laundry, turned into a 2 and a half hour job this afternoon. I’d gotten up from a short nap and went to sort a little laundry, when I spied a box of photos and scrapbooking stuff on the floor of the guest room. (The guest room which apparently we’re supposed [...]

I am going through our file cabinet today. I went to put the phone book away and the cabinet bulged under the heft of too-many-years of receipts. I only meant to clear out things older than 7 years.
I came across a ziploc bag of receipts. I didn’t know what they were until I saw at [...]

That’s what Rob and I say our hectic days feel like after going to “our beach.” He took me there after work this afternoon and I couldn’t have been happier. We grabbed a bite on the way and giggled and laughed and talked about silly things and business things, like coming up with enough money [...]

From 5th grade through 11th, I was best friends with Terri. We were literally inseperable through track, basketball, 4-H, and LIFE. Terri’s parents (mostly her father) pressured her always and demanded, “Why aren’t you more like Jayleigh?!”
Terri’s dad forced her to put her all into homework, basketball, discus and shotput, weightlifting, running… As a result, [...]

I am mostly back to normal after last night’s fiasco. *deep breath* Rob and I prayed and he offered his insights and nudged me into remembering always the bit about powers and principalities. You see, I have had a super-strong week. The Holy Spirit has been with me continually and I have been able to [...]
