fish sandwich lovers
So, last week I had a thought. "It's Ash Wednesday. Know what that means? Fish sandwiches!!!" Of course, I didn't mention it to anyone because I've learned in our culture, liking the fish sandwich is faux pas; makes you some kind of dirty version...
praying parents
I'm so grateful for technology. Even on Sundays when its super yucky outside and I'm a scaredy cat, I can still worship and hear a powerful message from the Lord. And, with all the yucky weekends we've had this winter, I've be blessed to still experience...
Girls night honesty
This past weekend, I had the chance to attend the Womenade Pajama Party with my gal Rhonda. Just think a bunch of women, many of whom don't know each other gathering in the lobby of a local hotel with a local DJ and Zumba instructors. For my friends...
its a calling
so, I have the fortunate gift of working at a job that I truly see as a calling. as a matter of fact, I've always worked at a job that I saw as a calling. I really thought about this last fall while teaching a junior achievement class. in one of our...
let this be the year
Let this be the year! That's been on my mind lately. I guess it could be the fact that I've been staying up late and sleeping in like I'm a college student or the weird combination of foods that I don't normally eat. But, something has had this rolling around....
holiday blues
As I've spent the last couple days reading social media and blog posts about the ending of 2013 and 2014, I've struggled to come up with words for where I am. I'll be honest (because you know I usually hold back) I HATE JANUARY - and typically February, too. I...

Best gift giver
Now that Christmas is over I can make it official. My sister gave the best gifts this year! The last couple year's we've found it hard and hard to buy for each other. What we get we didn't really "need" we put it on a list because we knew someone...
Celebrating Advent
One of the things I love most about this time of year is the reminder of the "Why"? Christmas brings the hope, the reminder of life and the reconnection to who we really are at the core of our being. One of the ways that I get back to that place is Advent. Since I...
wedding week
no, not mine. I'm not that far behind in blogging! My sister gets married on Saturday! We've been sidekicks for a while.... can't wait to stand beside her on her special day!
favorite things
If Oprah can have a list, I want one too! (she has 60, I have 20...who's the diva now?) While shopping at Tevana last week getting a little "thank you happy" for a friend I bought the tea of the month which was so because it was on Oprah's Favorite Things list!. I'm...

So, we've hit the wall and I'm kinda curious to see how you guys handle this situation. THE OFFICE CHRISTMAS party. While its not my first Christmas in my current office, I had only been there 3 months when the holidays rolled around last year and my...
