Coffee Conversations with a Purple Girl
It took me a while, but I’ve finally gotten into the Christmas swing, complete with tree, Christmas music to accompany me as I drive and, of course, Christmas specials. There is something, well, special, about Christmas specials. They have a very special place in my heart and always will, I imagine. They’re lasting and classic […]
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 was really debating on whether or not I was going to do a friends portion of this series. So we’ll see how this goes. My main hesitation is that I can’t possibly give all of my friends equal mention or attention and I don’t want to risk leaving anyone out. It would also take […]
If the post looks too long to read, just check out this YouCaring page and give if you can, share if you can’t. The more people who see this, the better. Do you have a childhood friend whom you haven’t seen in forever, but they still count as a friend because you couldn’t ever call them anything less? […]
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 thought about doing family all as one unit, but I feel like that would have been a pretty long post, so I broke it up into parts. Today, I am thankful for my siblings, all four of them. I was blessed with a bother and sister to grow up beside me, even when they […]
I am super thankful for my parents, all of them. I know, I’ve already gone on and on about how awesome they all are for my mother’s/father’s day posts but bare with me as I tell you again. Because, seriously, it bares repeating as many times as desired. I’m thankful for my mom. She has […]
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 […]
I have officially been married for twelve whole months now! That’s twelve months I’ve had to live with my husband, get to know him, learn from him and just enjoy his presence. So to celebrate those twelve months, I’ve decided to list twelve things I love about him that I discovered in the twelve months […]
This time last year I was freaking out trying to get everything ready for my wedding day. Why was I freaking out? Because I’m a terrible procrastinator and waited until the last minute to pack and print out all the programs and directions and such. That’s why. Anyway, in three days I’ll have been married […]
