This week has flown! I'm thankful because that means only two more weeks until Aaron comes home. I fell into my "single" married woman routine pretty fast. I've worked out a total of four days so far this week, which is three or four days more than I have been, and I've been more mindful … Continue reading April 20

Vacation :: good for the soul
I truly believe that sometimes God just wants us to rest. Church and productivity and work are all great things, but sometimes we just need a break, a Sabbath. (Can a Sabbath consist of two weeks of vacation??) We had a great visit to see friends and family in Illinois. Two weeks is the longest … Continue reading Vacation :: good for the soul
Six months in El Paso: a photoblog
I put this together on Friday, but waited until Monday to post. We've been in El Paso for exactly six months today. Um, wow. It doesn't seem like that long at all! It feels like the whole cross-country-move is still "new" in my mind. Enjoy! July August Had an interview and got hired at my … Continue reading Six months in El Paso: a photoblog
A handmade Christmas
I've been waiting to post this! I made the bulk of my Christmas gifts this year and could hardly wait to share what I created! As you know, I love to sew. Sewing was one of my first loves, after Jesus, piano, and Spanish. I learned how to sew a button on as soon as … Continue reading A handmade Christmas
Bataan Training: Week 3 :: Running is spiritual
Thanksgiving was this week, if you can remember through your turkey and pumpkin pie comas. A total of 13 miles were run, which is definitely not spectacular; HOWEVER, I personally had two amazing runs, and that in my book beats running a couple more mediocre runs. Wednesday I ran 5 miles on the treadmill at … Continue reading Bataan Training: Week 3 :: Running is spiritual
Becoming bilingual
Since coming to El Paso, I've had many good experiences with speaking Spanish, contrary to my expectations. So far at work I've had two conferences with parents who don't know English very well, and I've taken some inquiries, too. One time last week, someone called while my boss and one of our assistants was in … Continue reading Becoming bilingual
The season of good.
Good things are happening in the W household... Fall is here! And to celebrate, we've had temps in the 90's in the desert. Fall-like, eh? And the leaves turn yellow and just fall off the tree. It has been cooler at night. In fact, I'm using three thin blankets now instead of just the sheet … Continue reading The season of good.
Friendships drenched in mercy.
I am still mulling over grace and mercy and how God lavishes it upon us. I've also been reading Refine Us whenever they post blogs, and I am just enthralled by the possibilities of grace and mercy in my marriage.Really, I'm excited about it in relationships in general.I tend to love the body of Christ … Continue reading Friendships drenched in mercy.
The Fourth of July Blur!
Wowzers. The weekend of the Fourth of July. I'm posting now from our hotel room in Oklahoma City. After roughly ten hours of driving, we're safe and sound for the night. Because of all the commotion in the past few days, I wasn't too keen on blogging tonight, but as Aaron reminded me, the longer I … Continue reading The Fourth of July Blur!
>Decompressing… ahhhh.
>My poor husband, seriously. I've been going crazy making lists and just being, well, for lack of better terms, OCD, about moving. Tomorrow the movers come and we are more than prepared. Everything's off the walls, we have our clothes packed, and most of my list is crossed off (you know that means it's a good … Continue reading >Decompressing… ahhhh.
