I’m a little late in posting, but last weekend Stephen decided we needed a little get-away. I was wanting to go to Flagstaff or Sedona, but apparently hotel prices are a bit high as they still had some snow up there. Instead, Stephen found a great deal for a beautiful hotel in Tucson. We left… Read More Weekend in Tucson
I now have one less thing on my list of “Never Have I Ever.” I have now felt an earthquake for the first time! We were over at a friend’s house for an Easter BBQ, and I had just sat down with my plate of food at the table. It felt like my chair was… Read More Easter Quake

Not only do you get a $1 discount per ticket, but you also get to avoid standing in line for 2… Read More ZooLights
As the veterans passed by we clapped. We stayed for the entire parade to show honor to all of the many veterans who paraded by. Tears came to our eyes as we saw the smiling faces of Vietnam veterans who were finally receiving the heroes’ welcome they deserved. I loved seeing the veterans in the… Read More Parade of Veterans
I have two plastic leaves on my shelf…AND we’ve had 2 overcast days in a row!

Stephen and Tammi Wess are planting a church in the Summerlin area of Vegas. We visited them this past July as we were taking our Southwest Church Plant Survey trip. They… Read More Buckeye Heritage Days

A cold front is moving in and tomorrow’s high will be 63 degrees–that’s a six and a three.” I actually heard this announcement on the radio while driving back from my interview this morning. It is now official that I live… Read More Cold Front Coming–Bundle Up!
This is the strangest autumn Stephen and I have had yet. We’re still wearing short sleeves and enjoying weather in the 80s and 90s, and for the first time since preschool, neither of us have to go to school this year! This life of unemployment and perpetual summer is definitely throwing off our internal clocks.… Read More Corn Maze
If WV is the Mountain State, and people from WV are called Mountaineers, and if Indiana is the Hoosier State, and people from Indiana are called Hoosiers, does that make us Grand Canyons since Arizona is the Grand Canyon State? Cool! I’ve always wanted to be as big as the Grand Canyon! 🙂 Actually, I… Read More Now We Are Grand Canyons?
While driving to visit our new friends, we were listening to the radio. (Driving is a new part of our lives since we lived on church/school property back in Indiana. I love spending this extra time with Stephen as we commute everywhere!) On the radio, we heard an announcement for a free ballet performing in… Read More Ballet Under the Stars
