One Year Later...

Tomorrow is June 3rd and besides being the day that Lorelai was supposed to marry Luke on Gilmore Girls before the whole relationship went bust, it also marks the one year anniversary of Brandon becoming a Sanford and the four of us becoming a family forever.

The whole family with Brandon's lawyer and judge right after we officially became a family of four.

Most Improved

I remember in elementary school thinking that the award for 'Most Improved' was silly and did not belong at honor's day. (Just so you know, I am not at all proud of my uppity-ness.) I preferred the awards that ended in -est such as Highest, Brightest, and Best...and ended up getting a few over the years. School was never especially difficult for me and I am quite suited for and have always thrived in the role of student. Given that it has always been somewhat effortless for me (college provided a few doozies with courses like Physics and Organic Chemistry), I haven't always appreciated the struggles of others. 

Curveballs and Comfort Zones

"We had some random things happen to us; some good, some bad, some you can't explain, some you dont want to, but one thing we did learn for sure...when God throws a curveball...don't duck...you just might miss something."

(The above quote is from the movie, Extreme Days, which is not a great cinematic achievement, but does provide a few laughs and 90 or so minutes of decent entertainment.)

When I started this blog the first time, and now again this second time, it was with the best intentions to share little tidbits from my life...to have a space to reflect on what God was teaching me through all the crazy adventures I seemed to be going on, most specifically, sisterhood and seminary. However, it seems that for the past few years life continues to speed by and this little corner of the internet is left neglected and empty. I write hundreds of posts in my head and for some reason they never find their way here. However, I have some news...and it is big.
