Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
Who could honestly look back at their childhood and say that the most exciting thing about Christmas was not waiting to open presents? What child hasn’t snooped around their house at least once a year to see if they couldn’t locate the hiding place of said presents? After, of course, the Santa bubble has been […]
It really isn’t Christmas until the tree is up. It’s a very important part of the whole holiday celebration. Or maybe that’s just for me. I have a theory about that, actually, but we’ll get there in good time. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The Christmas tree has always been one of my favorite […]
This weekend I hauled a fake tree and two plastic boxes home from my parents house so that my husband could do the heavy lifting and bring the tree inside. We are officially ready to start decorating for Christmas! I’m learning about decorating now that we have our own place. Of course I’ll be decorating […]
I realize that I was supposed to write a thing on Friday. I did not write a thing on Friday because I felt awful. I’m slowly getting back up to full steam, but it’s a slow process. So today you get to hear about how I’ve been sick to end November. I actually slept for […]
This Sunday we watched a woman join our church and it gave me flashbacks to a nearly two years ago when I was standing in her place, facing my soon-to-be father-in-law and taking my own vows. I kept the bulletin from that service and put the memory in my box of happiness. It meant so […]
I did this last year the week before Thanksgiving, but I keep seeing a couple people doing the 30 days of thankfulness on Facebook and thinking, “hey, I should do that.” So instead of on Facebook, I’m doing a smaller version here. For my first day of thankfulness I present to you, my husband. You […]
The great cat adventures continue! With a trip to the vet on Friday. Logan and I went over to my in-laws and scooped up our cats, who were conveniently hanging out in their carrier, and took them to the vet for their very first check-up. Calamity is much less into the carrier than Pearl is. […]
So as you may remember we are getting cats. We are very excited about these cats and as of yesterday we officially moved said cats to my in-laws so that they can go to the vet today and get all checked out and everything. Thus far the transition has been rather interesting, starting with their […]
Guys, we are getting cats! As many of you will remember, we really like cats, like, a lot. I grew up with cats, spent nearly my whole life with at least three cats running around our farm and being without cats has been super hard for us. Logan also grew up with cats, on a […]
I am notorious for having adventures. A simple 40 minute trip can become a two-hour excursion with me at the wheel, or even just in the car. I can turn practically anything into an adventure, usually just by naming it so. Weekends are especially good for adventures and I should know better than to expect […]
