It’s been almost a month since my last post. So sad. Well, I have 2 semesters left on the ol’ master’s degree. I hit a bit of a dry spell and am struggling to care. But, I’ve been having a blast teaching this year since I changed the way I assign homework and assess projects. Read More
I recently saw Robert Altman’s A Prairie Home Companion. So many of the things in the movie reminded me of my home in Minnesota. (Sidenote – After I saw that movie, I saw The Devil Wears Prada. Meryl Streep is, I think, the best living film actress. Blew my socks off.) Anyway, I started listening Read More
Well, I had the most interesting experience at work last week. I met someone who was my age who had honestly never met a Republican in his life. Seriously. For those of you not familiar with the Bay Area political climate, Republicans are a very misunderstood and rare breed. A lot of people are so Read More
I played my first grass volleyball game on Saturday. It was a free agent team, and I was abducted, I mean “borrowed” to play for it. When I was playing with my outdoor Wednesday-night pals, some people came over & asked me if I’d play on their team because they were short a player. So, Read More

I think she was shocked because, when she asked me how I was doing, I said, “All things considered, pretty good.” She continued by adding how sad she was for us and to keep trying and have hope… Then I said, “Honestly, Read More
Well, to answer everyone’s burning question. The man was not a prophet. Josh and I were absolutely floored awhile ago when we found out we were pregnant. Then, we realized the strangeness of it’s connection to the crazy prophet/flirt man when we were told the baby’s due date was early March. But, as is to Read More
Well, Relient K strikes again at completely capturing my heart with one of their songs. If you don’t have some good Relient K music, you gotta get some. Their songs are fun & punchy, but the lyrics are those of people encountering God. I’m amazed at how many times I’ve been struck down by one. Read More
One look at love and you may see it weaves a web over mystery, all ravelled threads can rend apart for hope has a place in the lover’s heart. Hope has a place in a lover’s heart. ~ Hope Has a Place, Enya I spoke earlier about fear and realizing the fears that bind me. Read More
This sweet pic from phil dokas’ photostream on Flickr I’ve started a relatively new tradition that has seen me throuh a large portion of the summer so far. But, I’m starting to whittle it down better. I get up in the morning, and after doing all of the get-ready stuff, I hop in the car Read More
