T & K: The Legal Battle

I’ve talked before about our good friends T & K and their battle with adoption.  They are in need of prayers right now, they are facing a monstrous legal battle (which also, incidentally comes with monstrous bills).

For the Love of Molly

**not gluten free**

About six months ago I was volunteered for a ministry at our old church.  I’d be helping with the New Attenders Dinner each quarter.  Judging by the amount of people involved in our emails, I showed up expecting a huge team of people to be working with that first night.  What I found [...]

There is a Place…

Thank you to all of you who prayed for my friends T & K.  Please take a moment, take a lifetime to lift them up in prayer. I feel like the wind has been knocked from my sail, my eyes are sore from tears… that’s nothing compared to what they are feeling.

They love these children. [...]

Mango Peach Daiquiris

The neighborhood is experiencing a bit of a growing pain this week as school officially started yesterday bringing the end of summer to a skidding halt.  Tuesday night I sat in the front yard and visited with the neighbors as they watched their kids play hard for the last hurrah.

The Great Campout

A few months ago we said goodbye to one of our good friends, Ross, who was moving to Texas in pursuit of a girl.  I make it sound romantic, and in a way it is.  They’d been dating for three years and living in separate states the whole time; she in Texas, he in Kansas. [...]

A Lifetime Movie

Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes

I seem to surround myself with picky eaters.  When I first met my good friend Stephanie, she absolutely refused to even try new things.  Over the past two years (holy cow, I can’t believe we’ve been here for 2 years!) she has gradually picked up spoon after spoon to try new creations of mine.  Recently [...]

Happiness & Tears

Two years before The Husband and I left North Carolina I met a woman who has become a great friend.  Some of my favorite memories of North Carolina are of our weekly Tuesday night dinner dates to cook a nice meal and share a bottle (or two) of wine while we, along with our husbands watched American [...]

Mixed Bag

My emotions are all over the place these days.  I long for the day Gomer Pyle makes his way home.  My heart literally hurts when I think about going to bed without him.  Tears spring to my eyes when I think about the last kiss I smacked on his little forehead.  Does he know I [...]

The Oldest of Friends

Friendship was a hard learned lesson.  Standing in a huge oak floored room with a wall of mirrors I glanced across the room to settle my eyes on a girl my own age, resplendent in a pink leotard, black leg warmers, white tights and pink coke-bottle glasses.  We were attending our first day of beginner [...]
