Experiment Update || 03 ||
As the school year ended I began to think about what I hoped our summer would look like. I also began to reflect in general; ever wondering if what I say I want my life to look like is actually what it is. Essentially, I asked myself, “Do my actions and time reflect what’s most Continue reading

Hawaii
We are all five finally back under one roof after almost two weeks of being here, there, and yonder. I wanted to write a post here of our Hawaii trip to document one heck-of-an-adventure. One of the greatest perks of military life (in my opinion) is the opportunities that come along to travel. Just six Continue reading

Celebrating Five Years of W.A.C.K.
We ended our school year several days ago, but due to life’s busyness we just got around to having our celebratory party Friday night. I kept is fairly simple as we tied a bow on another school year. I do these little parties for the kids, but also for myself, and for Ryan. They are Continue reading

It’s no new news that I went back to work this year as a full-time college English instructor. It was one of those opportunities that landed in my lap a week before classes began and instead of teaching the three sections of composition classes per semester I’d already committed to teaching, I ended up teaching Continue reading

Tellus Museum
On our way back home from our Tennessee trip during spring break, I took the kids to the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, GA. It did not disappoint. We are no strangers to science museums (or any other type of museum). And as our children are getting older, we walk a fine line of finding Continue reading

Some Thoughts on Church
This past Sunday, two soldiers from our chapel congregation were baptized. As a pastor’s wife, I’ve had a front row seat to many baptisms over the years. There has never, ever, been one single baptism where I’ve kept my composure or dry eyes. Seeing someone make the decision to outwardly express his/her decision to follow Continue reading

Georgia Bucket List
It’s hard to believe that we are heading into our final year being stationed in Georgia. There are still so many sights to see and it feels like if I don’t get these things written down and planned out, it will be wheels-up before we know it and the opportunities will have passed. There are Continue reading

Signing Day
Exactly five years ago, Ryan took an oath and joined the United States Army. Around that same time that Ryan was signing away his life for God and country, I felt God nudging me to sign mine over to become my kids’ primary teacher. He was asking me to set aside my prejudices about homeschooling, Continue reading

When the Immediate Replaces the Intimate
It has been two months since my last confession blog post. Days have turned into weeks and weeks have turned into months and nowhere in that time have I made the time to write or post here. This is the longest stretch in the nearly nine years I have been regularly writing, that I haven’t exercised Continue reading
