Strange Picture – My Fate?

09/01/2005

Josh sent me this pic from my brother’s wedding. He said he liked it because I looked all cute and smiley. But it disturbed me. It’s a picture of me and my niece, Jenna. She’s obviously very wiggly. 🙂 It was awesome to go back to MN last weekend and see Nate tie the knot. Read More

It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time…

08/31/2005

[The following is Steph’s fictional write up that was imagined when she saw this picture:] One of my friends is a science teacher. She went to a yard sale and saw all of these empty clown planters with accompanying unidentified seeds. She thought, “What a great idea! I get these for really cheap and I Read More

Pure Heart

08/29/2005

I’ve really been praying for a pure heart lately. I’ve been struggling with wanting to talk about others. I’ve had a difficult time discerning the fine line between sharing events and gossiping. It’s not something I’ve really struggled with before, but I’ve caught myself several times in the last couple of weeks saying more than Read More

Ewwwwwwwwwwww…

I found out recently that an elderly person I know, who is very stingy with money, reuses diapers. Yup. After they’re used, she just sets them on her kitchen counter in the sunlight until they’re dried up and then wears them again. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…

Step up to the New School Year

08/21/2005

Well, the new school year starts this week. I’m a little stressed this year because my week is a bit nuts. Well, let’s start with the very bad, no good, horrible day. Wednesday: First, the logicboard on my laptop failed. When I brought it to the genius peeps at Apple they said it would cost Read More

Argh! Ye Maties!

08/12/2005

Well, you gotta love Cupertino. On the corner of Stevens Creek & De Anza there is a Chinese bank, a Le Boulanger, a Starbucks, and a gas station. The gas station had one of those inflatable somethings right on the corner that said “CAR WASH” to encourage others to, well, get their cars washed there. Read More

Home Search – How much space?

08/02/2005

Well, Josh and I have been looking at getting into the California real estate market. Basically, we’re getting tired of sending money down the toilet every month for rent. We’re looking to keep our monthly costs the same, only be investing in property. Real estate is pretty crazy out here though. We’re looking mostly at Read More

Tahoe

08/01/2005

We went to Tahoe this past weekend with some friends. We stayed at Steve‘s cabin. Man, it is incredible there! My favorite parts were swimming in the cool, clear blue lake, kayaking, and beach volleyball. Some parts of it were a bit emotional and whatnot because of too many people in one cabin. But, besides Read More
