What's wrong with this picture?

Curiosity got the better of me whence from the kitchen I heard shouts of, "Faster Bella! Faster!".

Me: "Shouldn't Bella be riding her new toy and you push her?"

Jacob: "No, she needs to practice walking"

Honesty, by Jacob

the story of us

Image
You asked for it Adriane. I actually love our story. It's a constant reminder of God's plan for our lives. In his time.  You see, I knew Stephen two years prior to our dating. I talked to him all the time. He remembers these meetings far better than I because I was busy chasing after the wrong boy at the time. Stephen went off to Cambridge and then to Illinois for vicarage and I got some lessons of the heart from the school of hard knocks. I had pretty much convinced myself that no one was ever going to love me. Let alone marry me. I don't know what's lower than the depths of despair but I'd found it. Before too long another Spring had come to Fort Wayne and all the promise and excitement of another years commencement and even more exciting the call and placement services. 2006 was one of the last years I knew the majority of men leaving the seminary and I never missed a call service. I was supposed to go with my roommate, a deaconess awaiting placement hersel...

a bathroom renovation, before and after

Do you know the book If you Give a Mouse a Cookie ? Well, that could have been the story for this bathroom renovation. It all began with a hole in the bathtub. The previous owner had attempted to fill it with some sort of caulk in can business. You know the commercial where the guy puts a screen door in the bottom of a boat, sprays some magic goo et voila! He's rowing off into the sunset. Yeeeah, that stuff. Thank goodness it worked, in this case. No structural issues or water damage. We got to skip right to the fun part. Once we determined to replace the tub, it only made sense to refresh the flooring. The peel and stick tiles had seen better days and to replace the flooring the toilet had to come out, and while we're at it that vanity is awful......See where I'm going with this? We took it all out and put all new back in. I've never had the opportunity to take a completely black canvas and make it my own. I had a blast! I have to admit too that I'm a little jeal...

We're not reinventing the wheel here

It's that time of year again. The time when many mugs of tea and coffee are consumed whilst pouring over trusty cookbooks. For some of you, Thanksgiving menus are set in stone. There are certain dishes that are expected to be on the table. That's another post entirely. Today is all about finding ways to incorporate new dishes into your menu and feeling good about it. In my early teens, our family traditions became more fluid. That is, it became our tradition to be untraditional. This wasn't intentional, it was life. What it instilled in me though was that the people around us on a special day are what matter, and while serving the perfect meal and sitting down to the perfectly set table is wonderful. It's not requisite to showing gratitude. Let me explain. One year my high school marching band had the opportunity to participate in the big holiday parade in Chicago, Illinois. My family and I took the train in early to take in some sights and assumed that we would hav...
