I had my second ever migraine yesterday. It didn't suck nearly as bad as the last one. I rested and texted my mom to see if it really was a migraine, and laid on the couch. My husband cooked dinner. By the grace of God, for some reason I had already cut up all the … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – Random

31 Post Challenge – You Can’t Out-Give God
My uncle was in PA this week visiting from Seattle. He wanted to see us, obviously, but he also had it in his mind to spoil us a bit. He took us out to eat, brought us Trader Joe's cookies, made us each get a slice of cake, filled up our gas tank, and had … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – You Can’t Out-Give God
31 Post Challenge – Fall
I get really excited about the holidays in the fall. Summer is absolutely, hands down, no question my favorite season (shorts! the pool! not being cold! popsicles! grass!), but there's nothing wrong with fall. In fact, I've come to like it more and more the past couple of years. Maybe it has something to do … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – Fall
31 Post Challenge – Exhausted
This posting-for-31-days-straight thing is not easy! I thought it would be challenging, but it is tougher than I thought it'd be. I won't give up though, because knowing I'm supposed to do it every day makes me do it at least every few days, so that's not too bad, eh? I confess that I've been … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – Exhausted
31 Post Challenge – Strength in Weakness
When I interned at Virginia Tech, I said that my biggest weakness was recruiting. It was the part of my job that I felt I did the most poorly. I didn't like inviting students to events, challenging them to go on spring break trips, or convincing them to do things. Now that I'm on staff … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – Strength in Weakness
31 Post Challenge
This weekend was very autumn-esque. And rejuvenating. Last week Whit and I had stuff going on every night of the week, which was exhausting, so we planned to do very little during the weekend. Friday night we watched an insane amount of New Girl. Gosh, I love that show! Nick Miller, man. Nick Miller. Love … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge
31 Post Challenge – Friday Thoughts
I meant to post this yesterday, so let's just pretend I did. When I walked past the bedroom window I saw our cat sitting into the windowsill, waiting expectantly. I wasn't sure why she was hanging out in her daytime spot when she could be sitting close to her dad, who was somewhere inside. When … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – Friday Thoughts
31 Post Challenge – Wife Day
Most of you probably know that I work for Cru, and part of my job includes one day of working from home per week, called a Wife Day. It's one of the many benefits that comes from working for a loving Christian organization that cares for the family, and cares about people more than anything … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – Wife Day
31 Post Challenge – A Taste of Parenting
Whoops, I fell short on this! I'm trying to do the October daily Instagram post thing too (see hashtag fallingforoctober), and I haven't been keeping up with that too much. But that's what grace is for! And being a P on the MBTI. Ahh, the freedom of being a P, as Whit refers to it. … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – A Taste of Parenting
31 Post Challenge – Sunday Afternoons
What do Sunday afternoons look like around your home? Whit is writing a song called Sunday Afternoon. It conveys the epitome of a chill Sunday afternoon, peaceful and without pressure, yet purposeful. It's the first song he's composed, and if I do say so myself, it's REALLY good. Very Debussy-esque (my favorite!!). I have been … Continue reading 31 Post Challenge – Sunday Afternoons
