Despite yesterday’s episode, Nate woke up this morning feeling like a million bucks. But his cheerful disposition and appetite weren’t the only things that returned today. His words were back with a vengeance today…and all the coffee in the world couldn’t prepare my ears to hear all of them. My Nate is sweet, affectionate, outgoing, … More Day 14: Life Lessons.
I’ve always loved rain. Since I was a teenager there’s been something about a rainy day that makes me want to put on my running shoes, grab my iPod (or walkman it was called back in those days), and just go for a long, slow run. I love the smell of damp earth. I love the … More Day 12: Rain.

I had a plan. There was a time in my life that I was certain I knew what I wanted to do and what I was created to be. When I was a little girl I dreamed of being a teacher. I came home every day & played school and taught my dolls, stuffed animals, … More The Best Laid Plans

Ironically, change is also the cornerstone of this crazy, military life we’ve been living for the past 18 years. Not all change is hard and scary though.

Thanks be to Ann Voskamp for capturing my heart today. I confess I’m not always very good at this, but I’m really trying. I have been trying for quite some time now.
