For the last couple of weeks, I haven’t had any problem getting gas. Most of the stations around here have had plenty of gas except for ones right off of 123 or at a major thoroughfare. Yesterday, things changed a bit. I had to meet Jerrad at his brother’s house in Central (about 15 miles [...]
I’m surprised my mom hasn’t fussed at me for not posting lately, but we’ve all been a little preoccupied. The last 6 weeks have been busy with the start of school, wedding planning, MK, and family illnesses. The start of the school year has been much smoother than last year.

Yesterday Jerrad and I visited his grandmother at the nursing home. She’s been there for a couple of years not but enjoys begin there. We don’t get the opportunity to visit her often but when we do, there are a few standards. First, Jerrad must play the guitar for her. She keeps on old guitar [...]

While my aunt and uncle were moving into their new home, my mom decided to keep their 2 girls plus my youngest nephew at the house. They decided to make homemade pizzas and bake cookies. It was the biggest mess I have seen in quite a long time (can you imagine two 3 year olds [...]
I woke up early this morning, got to school early this morning and now I’m sitting alone in my classroom with about 10 minutes before the kids come in. Sitting in the silence, I’m overwhelmed. Out of the sadness of the week comes a flooding of blessings to my heart. I almost feel silly sitting [...]
