On August 11, 2010, I was lucky enough to snag 30 minutes of my parents’ time to snap a few photos to commemorate 31 years of marriage. (I alluded to this post here.) Internet world, it’s really a miracle that these two people are still married. No, I am not exaggerating. I so vividly remember...

Post ‘o’ Thanks ::5::
I skyped with one of my far-flung best friends this week, who is newly married, and we got to catch up on life for a little while. It was only my second time skyping and it’s so fun! As our conversation was wrapping up, her husband (recently home from work) commented on how much they...
Interests: Everything.
Yeah, not lying. That’s what it says in my facebook profile, and that’s because it’s true. I am not saying that everything enthralls me, but just about everything can interest me. At least for a few minutes. (Before I go all Mestas-ADD on myself. Which brings to mind another topic– did you know drinking 2TB...
Mama said there’d be days like this… Post ‘o’ Thanks ::4::
And it’s on these days I need to remind myself of what’s really important. Not that I woke up with hair that looks like I’ve never brushed it in my life. Or that Mr. Whiny McWhinerson even says, “not whining” in a whiny voice. Or that I forgot to make muffins last night and had...
The Summer Blues…
Blueberries, that is. And we’ve sure been enjoying them around here. Randy’s Granny has a lovely blueberry bush and Vaden has loved going to pick blueberries. Or as he says, “boobies.” Yes, it makes for interesting trips to the grocery store. “Mama, yook! Boobies. I want boobies over der.” “Yes, Vaden, those are blueberries. You’re...
Post ‘o’ Thanks ::3::
Yeah, I know I fell off the wagon on these… and only after two! Let me tell you, it’s not because I don’t have anything to be thankful for! On the contrary! So much that I don’t even know where to start, so it makes it hard to allot a few minutes to blog it....
Sseko Sandals! Custom Wedding Sandals!
Oh my — have you heard of these? I am in love. Not only are these super cute, but they are created by young impoverished women of Uganda trying to earn their tuition for university! Being that my sister has such a heart for Uganda, I light up when I see it mentioned. Anywhere. And...
Post o’ Thanks ::2::
I am so thankful for blue skies and white puffy clouds. Seriously, to look at a beautiful sky calms me–it’s like it refreshes my soul. Speaking of calming… today while I was fixing lunch, I heard Vaden clicking something and noticed he was near my desk (a no-no zone). So I shouted, “Vaden, WHAT are...
Post o’ Thanks ::1::
My heart is full. It’s overflowing with thankfulness. Honestly, it should always be that way, but too often, the opposite is true—when I can’t see the forest for the trees. So, I want to write some of this down so I don’t forget it. In fact, I think I will post weekly on some little...
A week of miracles!
Okay, I totally wish I had three hours to write out the whole story of God’s faithfulness to this young man, Solomon, but unfortunately, I do not. I have mentioned him over the last couple months here on my blog, but again, the whole whole story is amazing, and more of it can be found...
