Last week I received the Sunday crossword puzzle in the mail with a note from Stephen’s mom. She knows how I love crossword puzzles! Each Sunday afternoon, back in Indiana, Stephen and I would go to his family’s for lunch. Usually while the boys played video games or bathed the puppies for a prospective owner… Read More It’s the Simple Things
The festivities just continued throughout the week! Tuesday night the Horkavys invited us over to help them trim their tree and decorate for Christmas. It was fantastic! We listened to Nat King Cole sing carols while the ornaments were hung, garlands arranged, lights strung, and the toy train assembled. Afterward we feasted on breakfast–one of… Read More Pie & Praise
We’ve been so busy with moving and travelling that we haven’t had time to update in a while, but we’re now in Arizona and have a place to stay for the next week and a half or so. We’re incredibly thankful for the Lord’s provision and the generosity of so many that we’ve experienced already.… Read More We’re in Arizona!
Compared to those of you who are marathon movers, I’m merely in the training stages. Our friends, Kevin and Kimberly, are two such marathon movers considering they’ve moved about 9 or 10 times in the past 10 years. They graciously donated all of their boxes and packing materials to us. What a blessing and what… Read More Moving 101
We’ve so enjoyed our families this month. At the beginning of August, my parents and 3 sisters stopped off in Anderson for the weekend. They traveled all over the country (literally from eastern Pennsylvania to Washington state) holding church meetings and camps. They presented their ministry here at Grace in a Sunday evening service. I… Read More Family, Family

We’ve begun some major life changes in the last few months, so we’re planning to keep more current to let everyone know what we’re up to. I think most of… Read More Life Update
Okay, we’ve actually had three “bonfires” this season–two of them were merely campfires (wonderful for making s’mores!) and one was a BONFIRE. By that I mean the wood itself was piled higher than our heads, and the flames initially lept to the height of the surrounding trees. Thankfully, the fire was far enough away that… Read More What’s Fall without a Bonfire?
Charis had been wanting us to come up for a visit, so we decided to drive up to Plymouth on Friday night. We ended up needing to stay and finish up some things at work before leaving, but we managed to arrive at Charis’ before 10pm. Her new couch is so cute! I had seen… Read More Plymouth
After the essential cups of coffee, Stephen and I set out for a day trip with his parents on Saturday morning. What a beautiful day! We drove up north to a rock quarry that was having an “open quarry” for its employees and the public. Stephen’s dad works for the company, Irving Materials, Inc., as… Read More Rock Quarry
Bulletin boards seem to be my lot in life this month. I drove up to Plymouth to visit Charis and helped her with her bulletin boards. I also changed GBC’s bulletin board and put up a bulletin board for Stephen and for Kevin, the teacher who is taking my place as 6th grade teacher. I’m… Read More School Days
