I was talking with my dad tonight about my little brother Matthew. My dad said something that made me think. As a child, there were 3 of us. I have 10 brothers and sisters now, but as a child–there were just the three of us. I was the oldest. I was the perfect child. AllContinue reading “good, bad, and normal”

My dear friend and roommate Clarissa Jane is getting married! This is a pic I took of her and her new loves. I’m so happy for them! Congratulations CJ, Christian and Sarah Lynn!

still crying. The “simple gifts” song was incredible. I am so happy! I almost wish I had gone. But not really. I don’t have the stamina for it.

This is my new nephew Konner Jay, my brother Nick who is now 16 and almost 6ft tall and my sister Kelli. They’re playing around on Nick’s organ. He is brilliant onContinue reading “Random pictures of family”

This is a picture taken from my backporch in Utah. I post it here to help you to feel the cold that I feel. I’d take a picture of the cold in VA, but it’s not so pretty. I’m freezing. I can’t think. I’m trying to set goals and make the most of this week–butContinue reading “sooooo cold”

I did fine. Up until 9pm when I was at FHE. I kid you not, they pulled out 5 different flavors of ice cream, little fudge bundt cakes, and a giant cake with vanilla pudding in the middle and beautiful frosting. I caved. I ate cake. And ice cream. And then more ice cream. ButContinue reading “1st day a little faulty”
