“I don’t have any friends.” she said with an awkward laugh, the kind of laugh you give when something is just painfully true enough but you aren’t entirely ready to accept the truth of it yet. The sentence was also immediately untrue as well because we were both sitting at a wedding reception of someone … Continue reading The Playground, Middle School and Twelve Men
We’re heading into month 3 of the renovation of the house we purchased back in December. It has been a long and arduous road and although we are approaching the home stretch, experience tells us that this next few weeks won’t be without its drama and headaches. And this week is no exception. The week … Continue reading The But Stops Here
I’m a big history buff…especially American history. I’m a real nerd about it. Greg dreads traveling to historic cities with me because he knows that I will stop to read every single historic sign along the way. My brain has an enormous and uncanny capacity for historic facts; not so much dates or battle names … Continue reading The World Turned Upside Down
I know. Easter just snuck the heck right on up on us, didn’t it? We’re all just happily cruising our way through the blessing that is March and then BAM! Its Easter! Cue the bunnies and the egg hunts and God’s (other) gift to mankind, Cadberry eggs. This year, Easter decided to play tag with … Continue reading Good Friday
We are in the middle of a rough couple of weeks in the Perkins’ household…or should I say the Perkins/Ward household, since my parents have graciously opened up their home to us while our new house is being gutted and brought back to life. Last week Levi got sick…like a 7 day illness…where he couldn’t … Continue reading Take The Win
In case you aren’t #blessed enough to follow me on social media, you might not know that this past weekend, Greg and I had to dig a trench around the back of our house…I mean around the back of the whole house. I’m not great with guestimating distances, but I’m going to say that it … Continue reading Get In the Trench
Is the first of February too late to talk about New Year’s resolutions? Or have I found that sweet spot in between everyone blogging about their new words for the new year and that random person who makes a New Year’s resolution in July, claiming they can’t be bound by society’s standards? Yes? Fantastic! Here … Continue reading All Is Grace
Happy 2016! I can’t even believe it! Not to sound like an old person, but I think the years are beginning to fly by way too fast these days. It’s hard to believe how quickly 2015 has flown by and, at the same time, it is crazy how much was packed in to one crazy … Continue reading For Your Eyes Only
I follow a few photographers on Instagram. And it never ceases to amaze me how talented they are at their jobs. And I don’t just mean that they take beautiful pictures, I mean they manage to capture just the right moment in life. Somehow when they take pictures, everyone looks perfect. No one’s hair is … Continue reading BRB, Gotta Get Back To IRL
I have finally begun to work out again! This week was the first time I took out the weights and mat in almost 6 months (eek) and I am paying for it dearly now. To say that my muscles are sore is just not accurate enough. I am fortunate that Halloween is just around the … Continue reading Sore Muscles
