Rock Steady

If you don't like it.... blame Hadler...
Maybe I should: finally learn how to die to self
I love: I love... I love your presence...
I don't understand: egos
People say I'm: weird
Love is: magnetic
Somewhere, someone is: jumping out of a plane
I will always: smile
Forever seems: mind-blowing
I never want to: miss an opportunity
I think our current President is: redeemed
When I wake up in the morning: I typically have a song in my head
I get annoyed when: people think they have you figured out. And they don't.
Parties are: more fun with Lloyd and Harry
My dog is: a punk.
Kisses are the worst when: they shouldn't be caught on film
Today I: watched the sunrise
Tomorrow I'm going to: pretend I'm here
I really want: to live a life worthy of the calling I have received
I have low tolerance for people who: say "I can't". And don't even try.
If I had a million dollars: Take my whole family to the Caribbean. And buy a Breedlove.

Flowers are Red

Spring is here! And I am so happy! Every fall, with the crispness of the air, the smell of burning leaves, and the brilliant colors, I am convinced that nothing could be greater. However, the coming of each spring challenges my love for fall, more and more so every year. This morning as I pulled up to work, I was amazed at the beauty on our campus. Dozens of trees are blossoming and the thousands of tulips our groundskeepers have planted are in full bloom. And they are breathtakingly beautiful. Somebody please remind me why I have an indoor job? Or a job at all? Where, oh where, is my sugar daddy?

In other news, and as many of you have heard repeatedly, I am really excited about my new church. For so many reasons, but most of all because I feel like they, both individually and as a whole, are challenging me to be the truer me... the me I was created to be. Which is exciting because I'm not allowed to be complacent. I'm forced out of my comfort zone. It is good for me. :)

Friends, the day is beautiful. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the air is clear. I was a bit skeptical as to how the day would turn out when I had to break into my own house at 6 am this morning cause I had locked myself out. But so far, so good. GOD is good. (all the time...) And it's on days like this, where there is a longing to do and be so much more, I must stop and ask myself. What would Harry Chapin do?

Marry Me


Throughout the years my family has teased and friends have asked, and my heart never fully realized the truth. Yet, in the past few months something has appeared that wasn't there before, the appearance of my best friend. At long last Tyler and I are now engaged, "unbelievable" as he would say! Love is how I express it. I don't know what to say! I'm so happy! I'll write more later, right now we both just want to enjoy this moment forever!!!
