Ada Bible: Commitments that Matter
Yesterday, with anxieties high from very long work weeks, Freddy and I settled into our Sunday morning seats. When the message began to unfold, I felt the initial pang of an honest word calling me out. Naturally, I tried to find a way to rewrite those words so they could apply to Freddy. Hahahaha! Anyway,…

Wedding Nostalgia
Is it too early to have wedding nostalgia? Freddy and I went up to Traverse City this weekend to celebrate the “Winter Happenstance” with the Shier clan. They invited my parents up as well and we spent the weekend eating, drinking, playing “pass the baby” and being merry. It was awesome. Refreshing. Exciting. Calming. You…

February 11: Update
Freddy and I have been fortunate enough to be incredibly busy in 2012. I transitioned into a new position at work in the beginning of January and shifted my attention from the front-end of production to the back-end, pulling jobs through to meet customer demands. It’s a great change of pace, even if it means…

Confession: I have a terrible relationship with food. It calls to me, without relent. It taunts me from afar, on my plate, and later on my body. I have told myself that it’s okay to eat the way I eat and the amount that I eat because I exercise. But throughout seasons of inadequate exercise,…

The Cost of Extra Work Hours
When you’re salaried and go to work on a Saturday, you’re essentially working for free. I’m actually happy to do that when I can see the benefits at the end of the day or when I’m working side by side with my coworkers. Who doesn’t love teamwork at the workplace? But even through the thrill…

What Will 2012 Bring Us?
I love New Year Resolutions. I love pretending that I’m going to be better this year, more organized, fitter, more attentive. I’ve already failed several of the resolutions I’ve happily dreamed up over the past few weeks, but it’s okay because during the first month of a new year, I just make up more! My…
