• A Happy, Crappy Christmas

  I spent all weekend and the better part of today specifically trying to decide if I needed to write this blog, but I process grief through words. Not only verbally, but also on paper/screen. So… here we go. This Christmas was… different than others. My bestest friend (with the little dog on her lap in…

• Holiday Blues

  I snapped the above picture after I looked over and realized how much my brother looks and acts like our father. That’s not to say my brother never reminds me of Papa (what we called our dad), but something about this moment made me feel closer to my dad than I’ve had the ability to…

• Onward and Upward

  I had an eventful weekend in just about all the ways. It was busy with dog-sitting a “new” dog, seeing The Chosen in theaters, helping my mom put together a new kitchen table (NOT the one in the above picture), and having a birthday party for my sister-in-law. I also had an eventful weekend in…

• Three Weeks?!

  Two things occurred to me about 20 minutes ago:– I forgot to post a blog yesterday– It’s been 3 weeks since I deleted social media I legitimately forget everyone else can see what other people are doing with their lives until something comes up in conversation. For example, someone made a reference to my hair…
