In Honor of a Snowy Day...


[I'm reposting this blog that originally appeared on Jan. 11, 2006.]

I had to post this very cute picture of my nephew experiencing snow for the first time. Matt led worship at a Jr. High winter retreat over the weekend, and Ben got to play in the snow. Note that Ben is actually smiling in this photo. Ben must really like snow!

Blogged Out!


I never thought I'd say that, but my professional blogging duties at the Boundless Line and the Young Married Life blogs, are wearing me out! Phew!

But for those of you who actually want to know what's new with me, here's a brief report:


  • Kevin, his parents and I went to see Wicked on Tuesday night at the Buell Theater in Denver. I am a big fan of the show; it's very clever and the music is phenomenal.

  • I love being married! I have the most helpful and kind husband. He's been blessing me big-time by doing a lot of work on the house when he is home in the afternoons and I'm working. We've been moving a lot of furniture around, which really freaks out the cat. It's kind of fun.

  • We still have Mia (aka "the evil one"). I recently received this insight into her twisted mind.

  • The founder of the ministry for which I work just announced his resignation this week. Though it was all part of the process of founder passing the baton, the news sent a bit of a shock wave through the ministry and Christendom. Still, we're all excited about what the future holds.

  • Starbucks began serving delicious beverages in their holiday cups this week. Yay! (And I was one of the few to get a sneak sip of the gingerbread latte.)

  • God is good. Very good.


10-4, good buddies. Over and out.

My First Book is Available


Perfect for girls ages 8-12, the Fathgirlz Handbook provides a resource for a Bible-centered girls small group. I loved writing this. And my friend Melissa Tenpas wrote all of the crafts.

I found it on the Barnes and Noble Website. Woo-hoo! The best price is at CBD.

Pre-Wedding Fun


As part of our pre-wedding festivities, Kevin and I decided to invite both of our families and some out-of-town friends to ride the Pike's Peak Cog Railway the day before our wedding. In all, 36 people went. It was an awesome way to spend some time with our families and out-of-town company before our special day. It was a gorgeous day up on the Peak.

My Husband Made Me a Latte

It's one of the first delicious bits of married life.

This morning before Kevin left for work, he made me a caramel latte on our home espresso machine. Latte=love in my book.
