Can I just say that lately I feel like I've been catapulted into the past... in a good way. At the start of the summer ** oh, disclaimer... this is a totally shallow and meaningless post, so if you're looking for inspiration today... you won't find it from me. But you might get a good laugh or at least reflect on a fond...
I was reading some blogs tonite on the so-called "Saddleback Showdown" forum between Obama & McCain. I loved the format, was impressed with Rick Warren's questions (we need more preachers like him) and his ability to weave scripture into the conversation.One blog commentor said that watching Obama was, to him, both sad and scary. I thought that was a fairly accurate description of...
Sean and I decided to get out of this awful valley heat for a few hours this weekend, and we went up to Kings Canyon National Park in the mountains. We left early this (Saturday) morning and were back shortly after noon. It was great! We are blessed to live so close to so much beauty! The trees were huge, the air was...
I came across this hillariously schizophrenic website tonight.... and was completely inspired by this "Periodic Table of Awesoments".... I don't think you can read it all here... so you need to visit the site. Comeon, just a little clicky.... it won't hurt.... unless you laugh realy hard.

My dad sent me this verse and...
**Edit** I wrote a really long entry a few hours ago about stuff going on in our life, but it just didn't come out right. Then I came across this blog and her words spoke exactly what I wanted to.... so just go read this blog. Its really good and sums up the past few weeks of our lives here.I decided to leave...
I can't believe its been 3 weeks since my last post... and I was doing so well!! We have been very busy and have had a lot of stuff going on lately.Sean's grandpa (maternal) died, so we took a really quick trip back to Cincinnati for his funeral. He was in his 90's and had lived a very full life, yet in the...
