things aren't looking too good, folks...
again

Mom went back to the hospital yesterday. I was there when the doctor was examining her, and he said there is no one thing that seems to match up with her symptoms, and because she has such a complicated medical history,…
The House

The small town we are moving to is 30-40 from the city, and the house we are moving to is a good 15-20 minutes from the town line, so it is about an hour from where we are living now. Yesterday we drove out to meet the …
Pray for mom

Ok so the deal is, mom has this mysterious pain in her hip that perhaps worsened when she fell Monday night, so we took her to the hospital Tuesday morning. They kept her that night so that she could go to dialysis ther…
I have so much I want to write about... someday
I'm silly.

This is no big deal, I am sure. There is a storm coming, and I am not really worried about the storm so much as the fact that we are staying in an itty-bitty old trailer surrounded by trees. So, I would just ask you to …
I like coffee.
Are you using the name of the Lord in vain?

Have you ever been in a prayer meeting or something of that nature, and find many prayers go something like this: "Lord God, we come before you Lord God, and we just ask Lord God, that you would meet us here Lord God. L…
Update on things at home

We had to take my mom to the hospital this morning. Yesterday she woke up with a strange pain in her leg whenever she would stand, and last night it got so bad that when she got up to use the bathroom last night she lost…
Mission Accomplished...

Finally...I have done it. I have beaten my father at Boggle. Last night we played about 10 rounds, and I won all but one.
*tear*

Since we came to my parents' house Tuesday, I misplaced my necklace. I am extremely bummed, I can't find it anywhere, and I have moved or cleaned everything that I can possibly think I would have left it - even places I …
What to write, what to write...

I want to apologize for being a slacker writer. I have been wanting to write something deep and thought-provoking that will stir eye-opening discussion...but whenever I sit down to write something, my mind is absolutely …
Gossip is bad.

My parents watch the news just about everyday, something I have gotten out of the habit of, and honestly, I think I preferred catching up on the news now and then and leaving it at that. The more I watch it is no wonder …
I forgot to post that the day I wrote about not hearing back from the job, Shane got a call and a phone interview from the company, and it went so well that they scheduled an in-person interview right then. That happened…
Autumn beckons...

I am sitting in a local coffee shop I love in the city. I love it not really because of the coffee, but the people who work here are so friendly and it is a nice environment. It is a calm, rainy day. Fall has been hinti…
Someday I will write a real post again. So basically nothing has changed yet. I am waiting around for Shane to get off of work and we are going to look at a house today. Still waiting to hear about the job and I'm wond…
internet withdrawals...

Today I walked to Caribou Coffee. I thought it was about half a mile down the road, but it turned about to be at least two miles...we do not have internet where we are staying, so the only time I have been able to get o…
Laugh it off

Every now and again I mourn the loss of my relationship with my older brother, and being around him is bringing about one of those times. While I don't think he would outright admit that things are not the same between …
Beginnings.

Well, Shane and I arrived in North Carolina on Monday afternoon, after a long, delirious drive through the night Sunday night. Suddenly I am surrounded by familiar streets and faces, yet for so long this area has not be…
We made it...

That's right folks. Shane and I made it safely to NC. I am so delirious; we drove through the night and I think I dosed two separate times for less than half an hour, and I am exhausted. Nothing has really set in yet, I…
