Now she’s gone.

It is always an odd thing when you see something on Licia or Lori’s blog that you have seen with your own eyes.  Seeing the place they work and do ministry changes the way you view their blog, see their pictures and read their stories.  It is like you can truly imagine it in your [...]

lipstick that never ends

I’m not a lipstick kinda girl. Chap stick is about all I need. Lately though I’ve been feeling as though I need a little more color on my face. I thought I should invest in some new lipstick even though I’m not always good at remembering to put it on. I [...]

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

Aaron gets coupons every Monday from Redbox for us to get a free movie. What a great deal! I mean we have Netflix, but sometimes we don’t have a movie on Monday nights and did I mention it’s a free night! Well it never works that way for us. Tonight is [...]

We ventured out to the library today and we are now reading STUART LITTLE [...]
