Yes, inquiring minds have been wanting to know, especially because he seemed to pop up out of nowhere. Well, that’s not really the case, of course, as we decided not to post anything publicly, ie. on facebook/blogger/twitter, until we were sure of the direction we were going. Anyhoo, let’s go to the lists of fun […]

Five Things I’ve Learned So Far This Year
1. When having nine 11-year-olds spend the night, realize they have now reached an age where you must make an informational announcement along these lines: “As we’ve come to the end of the crazy screaming and hysterical laughter time of the night and are moving onto the lie in your sleeping bags and whisper part, […]
Start New Year Off with the Right Kind of Worship :)
As a service to the faith community, I wanted to pass this dryly hilarious video along so we can all worship more effectively in 2010. East Oregonian article by Kathy Aney–my FIRST real interview, as in sitting down and answering questions on the fly instead of my email or chat. Very fun! And a whole […]
The Union of Two Souls
All weddings are beautiful, joyous occasions, but every now and then I go to one that I can celebrate even more than usual because I know that I know that I know that I know the couple will be together for the rest of their lives.Chris and Lake are one of those couples. I tutored […]
Double the Dork–Double the Fun
Andrea’s tap class performed at a local senior center on Saturday. Since her dad couldn’t make it, I was going to tape it on my camera (no video camera still since it was lost 8 months ago) so he could watch it. When her group was waiting in the wings, I tried to find the […]
Poor, Poor Christina–The Life of a Writer
I have hours and hours of work that must get done by Friday. I have a deadline then, see, and will be subbing tomorrow so I HAVE to make myself buckle down and get this “job” done. And what, pray tell, is my duty for the next day or two? To READ! Tough job, but […]
In the Good Times and Bad
God is ever faithful. Though there have been huge “bad” things in my life over the last year, I’d still characterize my life as mostly “good” over that same time period. And there is only one reason why: God’s presence in my life. Another hard thing has been tossed my way. Not directly on my […]
Mommy-Daughter Date
I’m working almost full time this week, but Andrea has been asking for a mother-daughter date for months. Seriously. No exaggeration. I’ve had good intentions, but with fitting all of the rest of life in, I haven’t had the time or opportunity to take JUST her to do something fun. After work today, Josh went […]
A Very Egotisical Post
I did something today … something spur of the moment. Totally out of character. Haven’t done it for at least fourteen years. In the midst of a usual trim, all of a sudden I mentioned my desire to have bangs. And you know what that stylist did? She cut them! My friend Nikki has a […]
Fiddler in the Hallway
I’ve been on a musical kick with the kids lately. The latest LONG movie we conquered over three short viewings due to school nights was Fiddler on the Roof. It’s a very dark musical, both clothing and setting-wise, but also story-wise by the end. However, the kids “got” the humor. To see Joshua and Andrea […]
