This morning I returned to work after a long weekend and it was also the first day of my earlier schedule (only 15 minutes earlier, but still!). So while I did get up on time and made it out the door on time it was not the smoothest of mornings. The alarm buzzed probably 10 times before either me or Matt got out of bed, I couldn't find anything to wear, and then I ran out the door with Matt's lunch! I pack lunch for us both every morning and this morning even after pointing out that his was on the table and mine was on the counter I grabbed his lunch on accident as I was rushing to the door. I didn't even realize it until in my transition from one school to another I saw I had a text from my husband that just said 'lunch stealer!'. Sure enough, when I got back in my car I quickly saw that he was correct in his accusation and that I had left with his lunch this morning instead of my own. So, why do I even find this blog worthy (as if anything really is or isn'...

Since I finally finished the post I wanted to write about what happened in the year 2012 I decided I also wanted to think ahead to 2013. We're a few days in and so far so good on some of the things I'd like to do, but I think having it written down (or typed) somewhere will be a useful reminder.  Obviously, some these things listed below are more important than others, but in no particular order these are the things I hope to accomplish during 2013... Read. It is my goal (and plan) to read through the Bible (I'm currently using a chronological plan provided by our church. If you're interested in a reading plan please comment on this post and I'd be happy to pass along some options. Our church provided several this year.) Pray. Be more intentional in my prayer life. I want to be consistent and another goal is that when I say to someone I will pray for something that I will follow through and devote time in prayer to that situation on their behalf. (Just afte...

I must warn you, this post has the potential to become lengthy. I mean, cut me some slack....it's covering the span of entire year *smile*. I had wonderful intentions of sitting down on Decemer 31, 2012 to type out a post about the year 2012 in the life of me (pre-marriage) and us (post-marriage). Life happened, I (as usual) got busy and that didn't happen. Then I thought, oh well I'll do it on January 1, 2013 - that seems fitting. Yeah well, this plan was foiled by the fact that I am now old  and do not handle staying up all night well anymore. It's a harsh reality to finally realize you're not only not in college anymore, but that what is even more true is your body cannot handle the same lifestyle it once led. Our youth group had a lock-in to bring in the new year and I thought I'd be fine. Um, no! I had to sleep all day Tuesday just to try and recover and even at that had no energy when I woke up (at 4:30 pm), which is why this post is being typed a couple...
