Where I was
Last year, I was in New York City and I heard the names being read, first on the TV in my hotel room. Later I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, and they were still reading. So many names. It was so quiet in that corner of the city, that section where the towers…

Cleaning house is a messy job
I have been cleaning my house for days, but you wouldn’t know it to look at it. There are piles of things everywhere. But I promise, I have been working hard! I have never been a hoarder, never been someone to hold onto “stuff.” Everything has its place in my house. If there is not…

It all started with a fall weekend in the mountains …
So it seems only fitting that we would get married on a fall weekend in the mountains as well. 10 years, in pictures. Almost 10 years ago I met Jeff at his mother’s house on Cedar Mountain on Thanksgiving weekend. I attended as a guest of Colleen’s (his sister, my college roommate) and I had…

Things ive learned in texas
My time in Texas has been way too short, and it’s been all work and no play (unless you count running as play, which I sort of do.) I was excited to come here as the only other time I’ve been to Texas has been on a layover at the Houston airport. However, I’m not…
