Goodbyes

January 6, 2014

We did it! We graduated! And we met some amazing people in the process, which really did make it hard to say goodbyes and pack up. Whether it was our small group (elinc) or just working at the front desk for three semesters, I got to spend a lot of time with all sorts of […]

Flashback: The Last Week of MTC

January 5, 2014

The last week of school was quite memorable, while at the same time it sped by far too fast. We had a random assortment of Practical Skills classes to finish up. We dabbled in auto mechanics (very basic), with the basic rule of thumb being keep up on your maintenance if you get a vehicle […]

A Hasty Decision

September 9, 2013

We’re going to be doing a webfast for the next month! The whole first semester class is doing it, and we didn’t get this opportunity our first semester since it hadn’t been introduced yet. Our friends in CP1 wrote good blog posts about it, so I’ll let them do the explaining! Check out the Miller’s […]

People Part II, Community?!

September 1, 2013

Okay, so maybe you’ve heard the buzzword “community” one too many times, or maybe it sounds cult-ish, conjuring up ideas of hippies living in communes with a lot of smoke and a general lack of hygiene. It’s pretty new concept for me–community, that is, not the lack of hygiene! We got a tinsy taste of […]

What Denver Taught Me

July 24, 2013

I’m struggling because I want to tell you everything–all of the sights, smells, sounds, and turmoil. There’s not time or space for that, neither is there time for a chronological recounting of each day. If you give me the better part of an hour and a cup of tea, I’ll gladly give you the highlights […]

Early Summer

July 6, 2013

I’m not sure how many weeks into our summer we’ve gone or how many are left, but I can count on one hand how many days I’ve spent by myself, which is so very different from previous years. This is a good thing mind you! You might have been deceived in the past into thinking […]

Rotten Ceilings

June 6, 2013

If you know my family at all, you know they’re fixer-uppers. I think I’ve been a part of at least 4-5 house guttings through my teenage years and into my 20’s, two of those houses being ones we actually lived in. I can’t forget learning how to solder copper plumbing with my dad, which also […]

Adieu, Subaru!

July 19, 2012

I have hesitated for days to post all that has transpired in our lives during the past few weeks. God was still in the middle of His outworking, and I wanted to see how all of the details would unfold! All the way back on July 3rd, as I was driving back from seeing the […]

I Promise, I’m No Leper

August 27, 2011

I’m sitting here writing this blog post with one hand and a few interval chicken pecks from my left hand. It’s been about 24 hours since I was on fire. That’s not a figure of speech this time nor is it an exaggeration. Last night I was finishing up the final cleaning/organizing of our apartment. […]

Hindsight

June 22, 2011

So what did we learn in the past 9 months? I’ve tried to keep you up on the week to week happenings, but a true summary of what we learned had to wait until hindsight was on our side. Now, I could tell you all of the nitty gritty things that I leaned like cutting […]
