I know it has been awhile since I have written anything; a whole season has passed! Life has been crazy, busy, overwhelming, entertaining, hopeful, and outstanding.

My friends’ pet passed away today. Tov was his name. Tov was a hedgehog, and Tov will be missed.
Kel and Leanne Penny are Tov’s parents, and they are wondeful, loving parents.

I am a nanny. One of the perks of my job is getting to play with the kids and be creative. Today, I got to paint! I had not painted since my elementary days in Mr. T’s (no, not that one) art class, and I surpised myself. While I am not about to enter this in an art contest, [...]

This post is a little past due, but I’m a grad student and I have been busy!
I was inspired recently by a 19 yr. old guy from Louisville, KY. Since Aaron and I currently reside in the Bluegrass state, I was especially impressed by this “hometown” teen. He plays the trumpet, is a member of the University of Louisville marching band, [...]

I was checking on the order status of my cousin’s wedding present, and I came across this quote. (Target has a great, framed picture if you like it!) I wanted to share this quote, because it is simple, yet it has so much depth. I had read the quote before in college, but it resonated [...]
