Last week, we traveled down to Mexico with some of our friends.  After a long day of traveling, we finally made it to our resort.  We were starving and headed to the first restaurant on the property that we could find.  The place that we chose was next to the pool and wide open.  The […]

Last week, I met a friend for lunch.  We ordered our food and sat down to catch up.  She’s one of these friends where  we just pick right up where we left off, no matter how long time has passed by. Life usually only lets us see each other every few months, so we jumped […]

My husband and I recently finished a television series called “Kim’s Convenience”.  It’s the story of a Korean family that immigrated to Canada.  They run a convenience store and are very active in their Korean Christian church.  They have a son and daughter, and over the few seasons, it depicts the challenges of raising a […]

My word for the year 2022 was contend.  And contend I did. I am thankful that I was hearing God enough at the beginning of the year to know what was coming, because there were definitely times during the year that I did not hear His voice at all.   I will spare you the gritty […]

Earlier this year, my son had a health scare. He was over at a friend’s house and had a seizure. They were playing football in the house (because this what we do), and my friend heard the ball hit the wall. She turned around at the exact moment that he started to fall down. She […]

A few weeks ago, we got decked out and attended my cousin’s wedding.  The four of us got dressed up, curled our hairs (those of us that could), put on make up (again, those of us that could), dug up our dancing shoes and had a great time. The wedding was beautiful.  The food was […]

When we had some down time a few weeks ago, we watched a Mr Bean movie with the kids.  For those of you that might be unfamiliar with Mr Bean, he is a British actor that stars in slapstick comedy movies. He doesn’t speak very much during the movie- he mainly grunts and verbalizes a […]

My kids have been back at school for 2 weeks now.  The weeks before are always filled with anticipation- and dread.  They eagerly await the email that says who their teacher will be for the year.  This year, my son started middle school, so he had a full on schedule with 8 periods and their […]

Some of you that follow our personal pages know that my family has been dealing with the death of our dog.  He was 13 years old, and he was our first child.  We had him before the arrival of both of our children, so they do not know a life without him.  It’s been an […]

I have been thinking a lot about legacy. A few years ago, one of our cousins asked my husband and me: “What do you want your legacy to be?” We had a healthy discussion, and then I didn’t really think more about it. Life happened and I amped myself up to keep up with the […]
