Last year in December, my parents took Chad and I along with them to Hawaii. You all by now know my love for all things beach. Well, Hawaii is the ultimate. I just love the culture. One of the days we were there, Chad and I decided to drive the Road to Hana. It was […]

We giggled at the number of wolf shirts we’d seen at all of the previous concerts and how it was hilarious that the lady seated next to me was wearing one. Nothing against wolf shirts, but they are unusual, as are the people typically in them. I looked down at what I was wearing – […]

How many times have you seen this on a bumper sticker or on one of Tebow’s eye black stickers: That right there folks, is Colossians 3:17. And if you’re one to memorize scripture, it probably ends up right next to a few other pretty familiar verses in your head. If you don’t, you probably have […]

Well, I’ve done it. I missed a day blogging. Friday came and went and blogging didn’t happen. I’m ok with it. I woke up Friday morning and got a call from my mom. My grandpa has been ill for a while, but the latest timeline from hospice was without a sense of time – “A […]
