March 9th marked 23 years married for Frank and I. The milestone that is today is not lost on me. Our life has been marked by highs and lows, ups and downs, and so much laughter along the way. I am grateful for him, and for the life we have built and share together. This …
A new adventure…sort of…
I've been staring at this screen for literally two hours. Just blinking away and putting my hands on the keys and then taking them away. It's been an interesting two days and I'm not sure where to begin. As I've written over the last few weeks or so, I'm in a writing workshop. It's been …
Surfacing…
I've been away from the blog for weeks. First with a business trip to Denver, then returning to South Carolina with a heck of a cold. Ugh. It's been at least a year since I've been sick, and considerably longer since I've been sick like that. I'm at the tail end now and finally getting …
Preparation…
I have been on blog hiatus for a bit. Not because life doesn't continue to march on, but because I'm in the midst of a writing course and I have set aside time to focus on it. I am loving working through it so far. It's a self-paced, video and study-driven course. It's a christian …
Blur of a weekend…
I had such a great weekend, but it was so busy and went by so quickly it almost feels like one big blur! Friday after work, Frank and I joined our first New River growth group. It's a small gathering of people from our church who gather together to share and discuss bible studies, pray …
Ephesians 2:10

Back on track…
A few years back, in my unhealthier days, I decided to jump on the fad-wagon and complete a "Whole30". I cannot imagine the majority of people don't have some idea what that entails so I won't bore you here spelling it all out, but basically, it's an elimination diet -- as in eliminate dairy, alcohol, …
Shelf project…finished…
Even moving into a new home there are projects to be done. My husband and I both work from home, which is awesome. He's a tech guy for Lockheed and I am a paralegal for a firm in Denver. He doesn't ask for much and with that in mind, he got the full-sized office in …
Wonderful weekend…
I had the most amazing weekend. My friend, Jennifer, dropped in for a visit from Denver. It was the most "normal" I've felt since probably before my diagnosis. I met Jennifer at work probably six years ago when she became an executive assistant for one of our C-Suite executives. She was the youngin' of our …
