Conversation #194: A quick idea

So I have wanted a barrister’s bookcase for ages and we finally got offered one for FREE! Of course I took it, but didn’t really know where to put it in our new house. Well, the husband and I had a brilliant idea (I will give him some credit). We put it in this little nook in our bedroom across from my dresser and I filled it with shoes – I LOVE IT!

Don’t you kind of wish you had one too? (The top part is a little secretary desk so I can hide books and bills and magazines in there)

Conversation #204: My Jesus...

Oh Facebook and social media of all kinds...we have a love hate/relationship. Lately, these days, I feel it is more hate only because I allow myself to be depressed by things I see. I recently told someone the other day that I had lost faith in humanity, and then it hit me, that is exactly where I should be. We are a fallen people in a fallen world, and I should have NO faith in humanity. Why did that take me 30 years to figure out? So there has been a lot of political/social stuff swirling around, and division among Christians, and I hate it. Like I said, I have no faith in humanity and realizing that was a good reminder it should ALL be in the Lord. Even though there are definitely things going on in this world that reject the truth of the Gospel, Jesus, the thing that scares me the most these days is the phrase I alluded to in the title: "my Jesus wouldn't believe this" or "I can't follow a God that would say that" or "I just don't believ...

A Conversation about Absenteeism

Wow! It has been too long. I have still kept up on reading everyone’s blogs, but commenting and writing have been out the window for me. I have thought often about blog topics, and I’ll try to get back on regular posts tomorrow. Basically, the last few weeks have been full of preparing for this past Saturday. What was this past Saturday, you may ask? My incredibly intelligent and amazing husband graduated from law school!!!!!!!!! I can hardly contain my excitement. I am proud beyond words, and now we just have one last hurdle: the bar exam. I know the next two and half months will still be full of study, but it still doesn’t squash my excitement of no more late night classes, missed parties, or tension filled finals weeks. We are done! I only say “we” because it is definitely a path that affects both the student and family, but trust me, the hubby did ALL the work! Needless to say though, we had lots of family in town...

Conversation #201: Fit for an "it"

I always knew that I would want to find out the gender of my babies before they were born - that is just my jam. Mostly I wanted to find out because I know my weird self and if I bonded with said baby for nine months thinking "it" was a boy and then instead "it" was a she, I knew it would mess with my mind. Now having actually been pregnant, maybe that wouldn't be the case because I clearly didn't know Dean was a boy until 20 weeks, but I also loved being able to talk to him the rest of the pregnancy and call him by his name. All of that to say, I always thought I would want to create and elaborate, gender specific nursery, until we renovated two houses and I painted more walls than I care to remember. So one night before we knew Dean was a Dean, I was laying in bed and made the declaration that our nursery would be fairly gender neutral. We knew we would always want to use that room for the nursery because it is across the hall from our room and the s...
