Me & Caleb @ Macworld 2008, originally uploaded by StephLewis. We had a fantastic time at Macworld this year. Granted, I only got an exhibit hall pass since I didn’t know how Caleb would handle going into long, detailed workshops.

This is my new goal. I want to be a super cheapskate. I want people to look at me and think, “Man, she’s cheap.” First, Josh and I have been working hard to get out of debt. I’ve been reading a few books. Josh has been connecting with many of the Crown Ministries resources. He’s Read More
