Tonight I was thinking of the song one of my dear friends walked down the aisle to at her wedding – which then brought to mind some other friends’ wedding songs, which all brought me great joy [my friends really do have the best taste]. So I thought I’d share them with you, along with… Continue reading Just Some Nostalgia for You Tonight
Tonight I went back through the picture albums on my computer to look at old Christmas pictures – all the way back to 2006. Fourteen years of different Christmas celebrations. They all felt the same from year to year, but the pictures tell a different story. The babies got older. Some years, we had lots… Continue reading The Pictures of Christmases Past
Tomorrow is Father’s Day. A day to celebrate and honor all that fathers give to us. A day where I reflect on how incredibly thankful I am for the father that I have been given. But this year I won’t get to see my dad on Father’s Day. He’s in a memory care facility where… Continue reading Father’s Day 2019

With all that was accomplished, there were definitely moments of hardship, struggle, and challenge. Yet I wouldn’t change it for the world. The picture review below couldn’t… Continue reading 2014 – The Year in Pictures
I picked up that black journal last night. You know, the one I’ve forever labeled in my brain as “Most Embarrassing Journal Ever,” but which I still felt compelled to re-read last night. And just as I knew I would, I cringed through every long and overly-detailed entry about that time when I was so… Continue reading Opening the Black Book of My Past
The year was 2007. I was 19 and CYT-Spokane’s newest staff member. I remember the first time ever driving out to this place we now call the CYT Studio and – like everyone else – wondering where in the world I was going to end up. Where in the world was I going to end… Continue reading A Farewell to the CYT Studio
“The Ides of March” Series … Prompt #19 – “On the Eve of the Wedding”Forgive me for being behind … the past couple of days have been rather grueling! So I’m skipping Prompt 18 & going straight to 19, because this particular memory makes me smile like none other. The eve of any wedding is… Continue reading On the Eve of the Wedding
I’m having a hard time registering the fact that we are actually in 2014. Wasn’t I just writing a blog post reflecting on 2012? I feel like the years are just going faster and faster. No matter how long the year ahead seems, before I know it, I’m at the other end looking back. And… Continue reading Snapshot Moments of 2013
