So, remember the day our household goods were supposed to arrive? Well...the things from New York did. However, the Oregon stuff didn't make it until about 8 days later. Apparently the moving company misplaced one of our boxes and had to track it down before they could continue with the move. All of our belongings, … Continue reading A Couple Notes

My Favorite Little Blue Nun
I'm working on a project for my Editing and Publishing class. We have to write a book. Daunting, I know. A semester is hardly enough time to get a good first draft of a book... I began my book project with an idea I called Meetings and Partings, but it transformed. As I was writing, … Continue reading My Favorite Little Blue Nun
Josh’s Birthday & Other Fun
Yesterday was Josh's 23rd birthday! Although we had cake, presents, decorations and went out with some friends Josh said to me, "It doesn't feel like it's my birthday today." I asked him, "Is that because you're a grown up?" It's funny cause it's true! Birthdays are so different when you're an adult. They're fun, but … Continue reading Josh’s Birthday & Other Fun
Lifestyle Changes and Other Things
Well, it's been a couple weeks since I wrote an actual update. Josh has now been working for the Air Force for two weeks, and it has been quite a lifestyle change! For a few months we could sleep in (I don't have class until at least 10), Josh would play basketball everyday and we … Continue reading Lifestyle Changes and Other Things
Picture Update: The Great Oregon and The Humble Abode
So, I got smart and figured out how to upload my pictures from my camera without my USB cord. Here are some pictures from my birthday, journey to ND, our first day in the apartment, and Josh's first day of work (today!). Golfing on my birthday with Kels, Mickey and Joshua. Josh's almost hole-in-one...or so … Continue reading Picture Update: The Great Oregon and The Humble Abode
Hair cuts and the Air Force
Many of you probably heard me complain for months about the terrible-awful-no-good-very-bad haircut that I got back in March. For those who by some miracle did not hear about it, or a recap for those who did, here's the short version ...I've been trying to grow my hair out since May of 2010, which is … Continue reading Hair cuts and the Air Force
Grand Forks, Breaking Records.
Last weekend I got together with the newly formed New Wives Club - Kristie, Megan and Bethany and myself, although Bethany could not be with us at our last meeting. As many of you may know, marriage is both fantastically exciting but very challenging. So we're getting together for formation, accountability, friendship and of course, … Continue reading Grand Forks, Breaking Records.
Our Lady of Sorrows, Stabat Mater
Mary, though I suffer trials, nothing compares to your Immaculate Heart, pierced with pain as you gazed upon your Son, rejected and beaten by this world. Our Lady of Sorrows, be with me in my suffering. Let me know your heart, feed me with your wisdom. Help me keep my eyes ever on His Cross. Let … Continue reading Our Lady of Sorrows, Stabat Mater
Just Another Day in the Annex
It's official folks! We have a bed! Woohoo! Or, I should say, we have a mattress. After venturing to Furniture row a couple weeks ago, we picked out the mattress and the bed frame we want. But we decided to hold off on the bed frame because, well, it wouldn't fit into our apartment to … Continue reading Just Another Day in the Annex
Inspired By You
August 29 To set the stage, I'm sitting at home, alone in our furniture-less apartment. Ok, not totally furniture-less. We have one blue chair, a weird table (with a candle and place mats), an air mattress (courtesy of Kaitlin Radigan and her Madre) and sleeping bags. I'm leaning against one of the walls, laptop in … Continue reading Inspired By You
