I like this weather…
I like this verse…
“”For I know the plans I have [...]

Waaaayyyyy back in March I volunteered at the Anchorage start of the 2009 Iditarod. It was even more fun than I anticipated…and now I’m going to share a few pictures with you!

It seems to me that over the past few years there have been many more tragic natural disasters. I’m not sure if there actually have been more, or if I’m just more aware of the news as I’m getting older. Does anyone else feel this way?
I’ve started listening to the radio at work. The station [...]

The title of this post has nothing to do with it’s contents. But…today was a very sunny, yet cloudy day, so I find the words fitting.
I realized something today. Throughout my time here, I’ve always been blessed with something to look forward to. When you make a major life change like this…there are good days [...]

My friend Stephanie SHOULD arrive via airplane in Anchorage on Friday evening. I’m mucho excited.
Steph is one of my favorite people in the whole world. She and I used to share an apartment in Plano…and to be quite honest…she saw me through some very dark days that year. We laughed together, we cried together…we watched [...]
