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.

Egg Hunt

Egg Hunt
We had an Egg Hunt before church this morning. It’s so ill-prepared I just want to scream. I have had some disagreements in the past with the woman who was running the whole show, and came out of my Adult Sunday School class to see if I could help her. The whole thing was [...]

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!

Jack the Quack

Jack the Quack
When I was a kid, we’d go to a Chiropractor whose first name was Jack. My dad always called him “Jack the Quack,” even though we all went to him for treatments and agreed that he was an adequate chiropractor.

Take My Hand

Scene 1:
I was talking with a dear friend the other day. This was the exact quote that fell from their lips. [Note: You don't have to ID yourself if it was you, just read on.]
“Jayleigh, I’m so excited to be in a Bible Study again! Everyone is either a Grad student or a post Doc. [...]

Too Much!!!

The party was great. Only 20 people showed, but they stayed for 4 hours, so that makes up for a lot, doesn’t it?
I played basketball with Will and Andy and had a great time.
Will told me, “You shoot exactly like Shaquille O’Neal…. seriously, you should be his wife.”
“That’d be kind of difficult,” I said.
Will, looking [...]
