I watched the movie Juno last night. I probably shouldn’t have.
See, the premise is about a pregnant teen who decides to give up her baby to adoptive parents. The adoptive parents have a marriage in shambles. The prospective dad leaves, the mom adopts the baby and all is well–except for the part which showed how [...]

VACATION!!!!! YEAH!
Just got home last night. I wrote this yesterday.
The best thing I can think of about this vacation is actually more than one thing.
The food. Garrett has cooked for us nonstop since we arrived. He’s not gourmet, but man is he ever close. WOW! Melon and chocolate the first night. Eggs, ham, cheese and potato [...]

I set my timer so that I would get up from the computer and playing on Facebook, (btw bloggers pls don’t mention MY blog on FB. Real life peeps know nothing abt my blog… thx) [...]

Mindy Graduating Today
For the longest time, I never believed I would be typing that headline, “Mindy Graduating Today.” Sure I have faith that God can do amazing things. I HAVE PROOF of that, just look at my last post! But with my dear niece, I just was never sure.
Mindy and her boyfriend “live together” if you can [...]

Blown Completely Away
Rob wrote this to me while he was away this weekend. I was blown away and I want to be a better wife because of the same reasons.

The Prodigal Pup
OK so Rob was supposed to leave at 7 this morning for a Pastor’s Conference about 2 hours away. Here it is, nearly 10 AM and he’s still not gone. WHY?
Because of this:
We are thanking God this morning that Tutanka was found only 45 minutes after he left home — with his hobo stick. He [...]

Coworker Joan
My friend who’s been in the hospital came home on Sunday night, but she is not all better. It’s funny because I was not stressed and basically OK when she was in the hospital, but now that she’s out and has 6 weeks of blood thinners until they shock her heart, then I freaked out [...]

My Best Pal Joan
For the past 4 days, my best work-friend Joan has not been feeling well. Joan and I are such a pair.We finish each other’s sentences, we make inside jokes constantly, and we generally work very hard and also goof off a bunch.
Today when I got to work, Joan was lamenting her medical bills and said [...]

New Home in My Old Hometown
So I was checking out Stormy’s (former foster daughter’s) MySpace today and it says she is moving back to the town that Rob and I just moved from a few months ago. It’s also the town WHERE I WORK.
I have a couple of problems with this, manily that Stormy is a shoplifter and I don’t [...]

Thorough Exhaustion
I am skipping Lent Services tonight. I am making Soup for their dinner, but I just cannot go on like this. Sundays are MARATHON days that begin at the church around 8 and let up around 3, then back on again at 5, and home around 10. I keep thinking I might die, and the [...]

En Route
Rob and I (and the dogs!) spent the night at The Parsonage on Saturday. We had a marathon church day yesterday (8:30AM until 9:30 PM with only a 3 hour break in there!!!!! Oh how I love Lent…. hmm)
It was bitter cold, and my doggy refuses to do his duty. So we walked and walked [...]

Out of My Home
I just finished packing 8 boxes of Stormy’s things. I feel like the worst person alive, but this had to happen. She’s out and not welcome back.
The school called and said if we thought she was High, they would not deal with her. So we called her social worker and said since the state is [...]

All Because of Jesus I’m Alive
On the eve of my 36th birthday, I know that I am alive in my heart and soul because of Jesus.
Check it out:
Things are a bit better tonight. Rob made contact with someone at the DHS office and they are “working” on having Stormy removed. I think it may take 2-3 [...]
