Our Christmas week was more than different... On last sunday I had a slight sinus headache and fever. Olivia had just came home from her Romania mission trip and we were having our church Christmas cantata. I told myself that it was just a small sinus infection and therefore excused any fear of not spending the night at Olivia's that night. I did...
Wow! It's that time again. Last year I think I just wrote some post about how Jesus is the reason for the season or something like that. This year I decided to tell y'all what our Christmas traditions are. Before Christmas...on the weeks leading up to Christmas we have fun keeping lots of secrets, baking cookies, taking Christmas pictures, going to visit my...
My mom wanted some Christmas pictures of her kids so we matched in "dressy" outfits and went out in the freezing cold to take some. I set the camera up on the tripod and told her that she just had to push the shutter button to take the picture. That didn't turn out so well...half of the pictures were out of focus. I've...
My Christmas break has officially started! It feels so good to be free from the chains of school and work. Saturday I headed out to my second home for the staff Christmas party. It is always so good to fill up my Judson meter. It was a great blessing to spend a good portion of my night with some of my very favorite...
I am craving Christmas break. I am craving the feeling of knowing that I don't have any obligations but that of spending time with my friends and family and making sure that I get my fill of eggnog (which I prefer to just call nog). My grades...they are just there. They aren't bad, but they could be better. I am such a perfectionist...



I really can't believe that it is December already. It has been such a quick year, but a very memorable one. I really feel that I should be punished for not sticking to my blogging schedule. Christmas has been keeping me busy with shopping, wrapping, and going on Christmasy outings. I love this time of year! Besides summer (which brings camp) Christmas time...
I constantly find myself going on little adventures near and far...this one was nearer than farther. I love living out here! Gravel roads aren't hard to find and sweet tea is served with almost every meal. There is however a drawback. There isn't much to do, not events anyway. I have always wanted to participate in a color run. It is on my...
I love reading blogs! Reading blogs makes me like a fly on the wall in someone else's life. I thought that I would put together a little list of all my favorite blogs, but before I do that I would like to tell you what attracts me to a blog. Design...I love graphic design and if your blog looks like junk most likely...
I have tried really hard to stick to my blogging schedule (Mondays and Fridays)...but life happens right? (and now I'm blogging on a Tuesday to make up for it. Rebel!) Okay, maybe I did have time to blog. The truth is that I am in a very transitional time and I haven't had much inspiration. The two have nothing to do with each...
My mom and I are the only ones in our family that really care about "themes" for birthday parties. My mom asked me "superheros or woodland?". Since Joshua isn't too sure what a superhero is (besides superwhy...don't even get me started on that). Anywho, I told her that woodland we be great! How cute are these gift tags! To tell you the truth...


I bought an iPhone (talked about it in my last post), but I didn't have a case. I was kind of nervous about carrying it around without a case. After I was blessed with a weekend with my best friend, her parents dropped me off at my youth pastor's home. I asked his wife if she had an old case that she wasn't...


I always want to take pictures without carrying around a camera and use Instagram and vine and check my Facebook and twitter without pulling out the laptop. For the past year I have really been wanting an iPhone to solve these problems, but I didn't want to pay for a data package cause I'm cheap like that. :) I finally decided that I...
