Christmas 2014

Christmas is always my favorite time of the year! I don't know what it is about the holidays, but when it's here, I just love it! Parties, lights, holiday food and spending time with family.
I was worried that Santa wouldn't make it into my house since we don't have a fire place.
But he managed to deliver a few surprises!
This was our first Christmas as husband and wife.
Unfortunately my hubby was down the stomach bug. We spend Christmas eve in separate rooms. Not how I had imagined spending Christmas Eve, but it is what it is. I didn't want to get sick so I made my husband sleep on the couch. He loves sleeping on the couch so he didn't mind at all. I got a migraine that started Friday night that doesn't seem to want to go away!
We were able to make Christmas and see all our family. It was a wonderful Christmas!
My house is a wreck and I really need to clean it but I keep putting it off.

I've been off work since Wednesday afternoon and I've just been so tired! I can barely get myself out of bed, or even to get a drink of water. My eyes barely want to open. I don't want to function. And when I do finally get some energy to be awake, my head feel so cloudy.
I hope I'm not getting sick!

2026

 Where do I even begin? I got sick a few days before New Year’s Eve and ended up ringing in 2026 sick. Is anyone surprised? Because I’m not. I was down for a full week with a terrible case of strep throat—and I don’t even have tonsils. My doctor basically said I’m just prone to strep… because of course I am. Just my luck. Let’s back up to a few days after Christmas. My husband goes on his annual hunting trip every year, which is usually why I end up ringing in the New Year alone. But this time, I decided to go with him. We packed up the Frenchies, Bruno stayed with my sister, and we headed west for a long weekend of hunting. He always brings a couple of deer home, and that meat lasts us through the year. I know hunting isn’t for everyone. We don’t kill for sport—we hunt for food, and we use every part of it. This was actually my first time going to truly hunt. I’ve been out to the land before to shoot guns, fill feeders, and hang around camp… but I’d never gone hunting until now. I...

My sister and I took an early 7 a.m. flight to New York for her birthday. The night before, I had put on a new Dexcom, but just as I was leaving for the airport, I got a notification telling me to remove it immediately because it was defective. Cue me frantically trying to replace it without crying—definitely not the smooth start I’d pictured. At the airport, I somehow ended up at the wrong gate while my sister was at the correct one. I went through security alone and made it to what I thought was our gate, waiting by myself for about 20 minutes… until my sister called, annoyed, asking where I was. She thought I was running late and was now rushing through security, while I was already calmly sitting at the actual gate, ready to board. We finally met up, I apologized for the mix-up, she forgave me, and we grabbed some coffee. Caffeine in hand, we headed back to board—only to discover we were surrounded by a group of about 20 teenagers on a school trip to New York. My sister and I aren’...

It’s hard to put into words where this world is headed. I don’t share political opinions or push my religious beliefs on others. Instead, I choose to stand firm in my faith while seeking understanding and finding ways to relate to what’s happening in today’s political climate. As a "younger" person, based on what we’ve been taught and learned growing up, the way to make a difference is by speaking up, showing up, and advocating for your rights. So how do we not feel silenced when we see a young man gunned down simply for standing up for his faith and his rights? Times like these make you question how much you want to share on social media. Will I be judged or even persecuted for my faith? But I remember what my mom told me when I was younger: if anyone ever asks about my faith, I should always stand up to say that I am a Christian. No matter your political beliefs or religion, this act of hatred is completely unacceptable. A life was taken, a murderer acted with violence, chi...
