LIVING LIFE AND LEARNING ALL I CAN ALONG THE WAY
It’s true. I’ve been slacking on the blog. Part of it may or may not be due to the fact that we got our first family pet a few months ago. Tom and I had discussed getting a dog over the years, but somehow this winter it suddenly became a reality. We found a ~10…
Last year in my women’s bible study, we did an in-depth study of the book of Luke. I absolutely loved it and felt very challenged by the teachings of Jesus. I touched on this a bit in my post on Discipleship, but I really felt God challenging me to understand and take to heart the…
As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a few minutes to remember some of the things we did and things that happened in 2012. I feel like it was a whirlwind of a year, but here’s a brief memoir of what I can remember from the activities done, people visited and…

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been a full 10 years since I first met Tom. We met on January 20, 2001. A brief history: I was in high school at the time—a sophomore, 16 years old, and on the cheerleading team (shocking, I know). Tom was in college at Cedarville University in Ohio, and…
