It's Elementary
My sister started a blog! My sister started a blog! I'm so excited for her. And also for me because it's just another way for me to keep up with her life.She's a 3rd grade teacher, those lucky kids, and so she's going to share classroom stories, crafts, and projects and also cu…
Dancing
Oh how I love to dance.In front of a mirror with the ballet bar in my hand, toes pointed, arms gently curved, a deep plié.
Glissade, jeté, pas de bourreé, assemblé.
At weddings, spinning in the highest heels, only stopping for a sip of champagne or a slice of cake.
Around my bedroom with curlers in …
Come and See
I've been reading Angie Smith's book Chasing God.In one part she describes the meeting of Jesus and his first disciples, John, Andrew and Simon. They encounter Jesus and it's as though they are "so moved by His presence that they simply started walking."
They just started fol…
Boy Scouting
Well, right off the bat I am starting off with a weekend recap. But I do want to remember these things and since it happens to fall on the letter B that's just what I'm going with.Realizing he had an open schedule and not wanting to miss a minute of family fun, TJ purchased a last minute f…
All In
Today is the first day of the A-Z blogging challenge.I have no idea where this month of blogging 6 days a week is going to take me.
I don't have a specific place to talk about, a bunch of pictures to share, or a story to tell for each letter of the alphabet. Instead I wrote down a list of word…

I had such a fun weekend in town! My one roommate and I started out the day by going to try on her wedding dress and pick out a veil. She suggested that everyday would be a happier day if she started out by wearing a wedding dresses. Hah.After leaving the bridal store we were greeted by the sunsh…
Five on Friday
one. Last weekend I picked up some tulips from Whole Foods on sale three bunches for ten. I put them in a couple vases around the house and it instantly felt like Spring inside- fresh flowers and sunlight do that, you know. They've lasted all week but unfortunately it seems the warmer weather w…
Not a Style Blogger
For some reason unbeknownst to me, I woke up an hour before my alarm went off yesterday. Now usually I can look at the time, rejoice when I realize I still have an hour to sleep, and fall back into dreamland no problem. But not this morning.... I tossed and turned and my mind wondered and was alr…
Greetings From Alabama
Yesterday I reluctantly returned from Dothan, Alabama. I spent the past weekend (and a couple extra bonus days- thanks DC weather) visiting TJ. He's temporarily stationed there for an Army flight surgeon training course and even though it's not everyone's ideal destination I couldn'…

You know that boy I travel to see every chance I get? The one I actually spent the past weekend with? The one who has taken over my heart and a quite a bit of my blog content?Well today is his birthday!
So I thought I would take some time and dedicate an entire post to him on his day so you could …
