As a sweet gift for me, Chuck compiled just a few of our professional photographs taken by Joanna Nunemaker with the assistance of Janean Truax put to music with one of my favorite compilations. If you attended our wedding, I think you will find the music quite familiar. We wanted to share some of these captured moments of the day that marked the beginning of the rest of our lives together as a married couple. We can’t praise God enough…
Several months ago I wrote a query letter to an editor of a Christian magazine. In the letter I explained my article idea and the outline for my piece. I didn’t hear anything back so two weeks later I emailed the magazine editor again. I still hadn’t gotten a reply so after awhile I gave up on the idea. Well, the day after I wrote my last post I received an email back from that very editor stating his interest…
I have my role back and it has been glorious so far today. Being a career woman for one week was a great experience. I loved dressing up every day (Even though I would have had to repeat those outfits all over again this week if I continued to be in the business cas world.). It made me feel a little more powerful, a little more like I fit into DC. Step into any grocery, Target, or mall store and…
Fourth day come and gone! Projects galore piled up and up and up all day long. I didn’t even get out on time. Tomorrow doesn’t look too relaxing either. I felt quite overwhelmed today. I miss watering the plants! But I have to say, at least the day flew by! I’m sure my very last day will fly by equally as fast considering all the projects I have waiting for me. Chuck and I are going OUT on a date…
Good-night office! See you in the morning!
My task this morning was to water the plants. HOT DOG. The plants are fed. So here I sit. I find it quite humorous, actually. I don’t mind in the least sitting at a desk waiting for the phone to ring. It is only the first hour of the day so I’m sure things will get busier as the other hours go by. I just have to praise God! Last week at this time I was really nervous about filling in here…
It rhymed, what can I say? Plus I did wear different shoes today then yesterday. 1 hour to go and my second day will be complete. Today there were several glitches that popped up. First being I do not own a lot of “business casual” attire. Not sure why they call it that. There isn’t much “casual” to it. I will be repeating pants several times. I threw in a load of laundry at 11 last night, and threw that load into the dryer…
Two words: Keurig Coffee. I’m infatuated. This office has its own Keurig Coffee maker with quite a large variety of coffees including DECAF, teas, and hot chocolate! I couldn’t be happier sitting at a huge desk, on a computer where I can write on my own blog, drinking decaf hazelnut coffee with hazelnut creamer that they keep in the kitchen. Not only that, but there’s an endless supply of soda’s (FREE) and today there was lunch from Panera (FREE)! I really like it here….
Tomorrow. Yes tomorrow I will be starting a new job. I will adorn myself in heels, dress pants, button-down shirts, fancy little sweaters, and do my hair up like a real professional. You know the look. Hair blown straight, brushed smoothly back from the face, fastened in place with a tight elastic band I will carry around my coffee tumbler feeling like a real working girl. I may even wear my glasses. I will be sitting at a desk…
Birthdays are humbling. Family and friends sending cards, gifts, receiving phone calls, and surprise cookie cakes truly touched my heart. My parents got me a web cam and it was a blast talking and SEEING my family for a couple hours. Chail is finally calling me “Ta Ta” or “Tee Tee” (Auntie)! He had called me that last time I saw him, but I wasn’t sure if it was a fluke. Then, on my birthday while we were Skyping Luke…
