As Waylon nears his first birthday, I am feeling a little nostalgic. Having two dogs has certainly been a great decision for our family especially since Waylon and Willie have such different temperaments. Willie is an over-eager pleaser and Waylon is well, most often known as grumpy dog. He goes at his own pace and …
When I got to my desk at the office this afternoon, I discovered the note I had written that said: Jan 2014 There’s one continuous line under those words, but there’s nothing listed under it. It took me a minute, but I remember I made that note during a conversation about a due date, but …
Willie and Waylon meeting for the first time!
As sit on this last day of 2013 trying to allow my body to overcome whatever bug it is currently fighting and enjoy reading other people’s reflections of their year, I thought I’d try the same. To say this year has been full of changes is a gross understatement. This year I have: become a …
We celebrated Christmas morning this Saturday with our girls and it was a wonderful time of excitement and fun, but in order to enjoy this time together, Sam and I had to wait our turn.

I have never been much of a cook or a baker. I found my speciality is appetizers…you know the kind that take three ingredients and at tops 10 minutes to make? That was more my speed. But during Christmas and around the holidays, I find that I can slow down enough to not have a …
Santa brought the pups (and their running buddy!) a new splitter leash. The leash goes around my waist and then the pups share one leash so that they aren’t dragging me in two different directions. We tried it out this morning and it was so funny to watch Willie and Waylon’s face as they tried …
There aren’t words to express how incredibly blessed I am this Christmas to be a new wife, a new mom, a new Reverend. There have been few times in my life that I have felt that I am exactly where I am supposed to be and doing what I was created to do, but tonight …
