After one of Jason’s soft ball games one day, one of the guys on the team couldn’t find his keys. Jason stayed late to help him look all around the bench and all over the field. He even asked some of the little boys if they had picked up some keys. He knew he had… [continue reading]
High School Play Blooper
I had the privilege of attending a small Christian Boarding high school. One of the perks of going to a small school was the opportunity to be involved. I have always loved drama. My favorite play that we did was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I got to be Susan. We had our… [continue reading]
My Birthday 2010
I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. I really did have a great day. Now with four children I have come to understand that they are not going to become selfless little angels just because it is the anniversary of…well…anything! I have recently gotten in touch with a couple that I went to… [continue reading]
Get with it Mom
I was lugging in a trunk load of groceries. The kids had been so well behaved on this occasion that my mind was elsewhere. On our first trip into the house with our bags, Grace ran ahead and hid by the door. This is the usual game we play. She jumped out and said, “Raaaa!”… [continue reading]
Laboring Latin
Okay I confess. I am really struggling with Latin! I am a tutor for a Classical Conversations Community. Translated that’s a co-op where we all use the same classical curriculum and I am called a tutor rather than teacher because I am not necessarily a master in any of the subjects. Rather I am presenting… [continue reading]
Happy Birthday to Me
Fourteen years ago today and only four weeks after I met Jason, the man who would become my husband, he showed up on my doorstep with flowers and took me out for my birthday. We went to the Olive Garden, still a favorite of mine, and we had a very enjoyable time. The only problem… [continue reading]
The Bad-Mouthing Chapel Speaker
My senior year of college, the long time president of the school retired, and it was the first year of the new administration. After chapel one day, the guest chapel speaker joined our table for lunch. We exchanged greetings, and then to my amazement he started bad-mouthing our former president. He didn’t just say one… [continue reading]
Marriage
The other day Jason and I were talking about our dating relationship versus our marriage relationship. I told him that marriage was quite a shocker for me because I expected him to be just as interested in my views, desires, and wishes as when we dated and…uh…he wasn’t. 🙂 He didn’t really say much after… [continue reading]
My Most Embarrassing Moment
I seem to have a special talent for embarrassing myself on a regular basis, but the most embarrassing thing in my entire life happened when I was in high school. The events of the whole day led up to the worst moment I can remember. It all started on spring choir tour my sophomore year…. [continue reading]
Clang, Clang, Clang
Jason and I were at a nice, candle-lit restaurant enjoying the quiet and the food – in that order. When all of the sudden I heard this loud clang, clang, clang. It sounded like it came from underneath our own table. I looked up at Jason, who sat there eating normally, and then I looked… [continue reading]
