Archie comics

There's nothing like getting together with old friends to reminisce on your bad hair cuts, "mean girls" lunch room incidences, freezing out your college roommate stories (in your two by four of a room), and taking modeling pictures amongst your BFF's Archie Comic collection. Yes, that last one is absolutely true. It is with such reminiscence that accompanies a grand zip code alteration as with my dear long-time friend Alyssa. Alyssa and I met in the trenches of elementary school. No matter where life has created separate routes in our paths, we have always been able to come back together as if nothing has changed. She is a true blessing.
I am so excited to see Alyssa venture out to the Big Apple for her next big chapter in life. She will take with her a Masters degree in social work, an enthusiastic and compassionate personality, and many many good memories and best wishes from all who know and love her. Can't wait to visit Lyss! Love you girl!




(L-R) Lauren, Christie, Tionya, me and Alyssa reuniting to send our friend off with love.

Don't you love iPhone pics. Yes, there will be pedestrians crossing our lives Lyss, but no one will cross my path quite like you have!  CubBuster original quote thank you very much!

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b...

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC
