The JOURNAL

I’ve always dreamt of the day the man of my dreams would ask me to marry him. I dreamed up all the extravagant ways he would pamper and sweeten me up… all the ways he would tell me how he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. White horses and billowing royal […]

Today I did something I never do. I spoke at a women’s bible study at church. As I told them, I’ll tell you now…. I’m not really the public speaking type of person… it’s way more comfortable to speak from my blog where I don’t have to worry about saying “um” too much or stuttering. […]

These make me smile inside.

Harry Potter Jargon and loooots of pictures to follow… beware… It was back in December 2009 when Christopher and I sat down one night to watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first of the very popular children’s series. As the plot began to unfold, Harry Potter experienced Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, […]

I get stressed…. I don’t know if you can relate. There’s so much I want to do perfectly, so much I want to accomplish. Life’s scary sometimes. I get stressed. Do you get stressed? I get stressed. A couple days ago, my stress got the best of me and I found myself out of breath […]

So…. I leave in 9 hours and I’m still not packed. Everything’s there… I promise! It just hasn’t hit me yet… that I’m leaving on a trip of a lifetime. This trip has been on my “bucket list” since forever… and the only response I can muster up when people ask me if I’m excited […]

So… in the last post you saw the Davidsons and their planes. Well… that’s not all we did at the airfield…. Uncle Dick and Aunt Sandy asked Christopher and I if we would like to go for a quick flight in one of their planes… we looked at each other, and without hesitation we both […]

It was barely light outside as one eye opened to find my alarm. As my brain came to life after, what felt like, a short sleep… I remembered…. Today’s the day. Lance and Laurie are getting married today!!! From there, a flood of jitters and butterflies fell into my chest and the coffee I was […]

Saturday was one of the most perfect evenings I’ve experienced in a long time. It happened to be ridiculously hot for an October weekend, but when the sun started going down… it was perfect weather and the light was TO DIE FOR! You may remember Josh and Katie from their wedding that took place in […]
