My plan was to keep up with the Sunshine Series every week. It's not a good sign if I've gotten behind already! Oh well, here's a list of all the ways I've seen sunshine since the last time I posted: One night I went over to my cousins house and the three of us laid on top of the roof -- star gazing, drinking hot chocolate, chatting and laughing a lot. It was such a great night. We even saw six shooting stars. Even though it was night, I saw more sunshine during this moment than I have all month — definitely an unforgettable memory. I had a date night with my mom one evening. We went to Continue Reading

Perfect Timing: Encouragement While You’re Waiting
If you follow me on Facebook, you know I have been sick this week. Fever, headache, tissues all over the floor and medicine next to my bed. I've been sleeping with a cough drop in my mouth every night to try and soothe my throat enough for me to get some rest. Monday was the worst day of the week for me. I went to work even though I was sick and did as much as I could that day. I went to the doctor only to find I have the same thing I've had three times now in the past few months. Unfortunately, the doctor couldn't tell me what was causing it or what I could do to prevent from getting it Continue Reading
Learning the Hard Way
Sometimes when I would go for a run my dog Callie would go with me. Sometimes her friend Bella would come along too. It was interesting to see how Callie is still a growing pup, as she loves to explore the world around her. Callie would jump over and crawl under fences to explore new worlds, she would run through the fields and follow scents. Bella, on the other hand, is older and likes to stay on the path. She would walk beside me or just a ways in front of me while I ran. (Yes, I run so slow that she can walk and still keep up.) The problem was Callie didn't understand how dangerous the Continue Reading
Sunshine Part 1
I'm going to start a series called "Sunshine," where I just share with you the joys of my recent life. It will help me look for sunshine, whether it be something small like eating ice cream or something big like a miracle from God Himself. I also want to share more pictures with you guys, so this will be a great way to do that. Here's how I've seen sunshine in the past couple weeks: Playing with my beloved boys Cayden and Reed at a family get-together. Let me tell ya, trying to get a (good) photo with these two rascals is quite the task. Here's try #2 Here's try #4: It was Continue Reading
Final Chapter: Finishing a Journal
Once for my birthday, some of my relatives bought me a journal. I took this journal with me when I moved away to college. My first entry was in September 2007. It's a pretty depressing entry about how I have no friends at college. (Thankfully, that changed) From there, I filled those pages with my handwriting -- releasing my emotions into words with ink. I've filled those pages with updates and thoughts and feelings. I've talked about what I did over the weekend to who I want to go on a date with even though they don't know I exist. I've wrote countless prayers in that journal. I've cried Continue Reading
