Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Monday, January 28, 2008. The floors. finally! Ok, here are the before and after pictures of the upstairs transformation. Crappy carpet be gone! So, how does it all look? In the process we discovered an electrical issue we had to deal with and we also had a plumber come out this morning. So, it's like an entirely new house! Anyway, on to happier things. I also got a piano! Joy of joys. my new piano! Jeff and I are doing well, and calming down a bit more now t...

Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Sunday, April 12, 2009. The Glory of Easter. Crown him with many crowns. Crown him with many crowns,. The Lamb upon his throne,. How the heavenly anthem drowns. All music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing. Of him who died for thee,. And hail him as thy matchless King. Crown him the Lord of life,. Who triumphed o'er the grave,. And rose victorious in the strife. For those he came to save. His glories now we sing,. Who died, and rose on high,. When I saw hi...

Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Saturday, January 31, 2009. My sister rocks the casbah. I finally checked her blog for the first time in a month or so and found a wealth of wisdom. Read this article she wrote about the Internet. One of the worst books ever written? I defy anyone to tell me that they thought this book was good, or even entertaining for that matter. I understand that I'm excessively critical of most fiction, but COME ON! I'd rather be shot than read them all through. Let's ho...

Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Saturday, March 28, 2009. Oh, so much traveling! I just got back from Alaska, visiting my sister's family. It was a beautiful thing. Every time I go up there I think, "I could live here! Who knows, maybe someday. I don't have any pictures yet because we took them all on my sister's rockin' new camera. She will be sending me the CD soon, hopefully (hint, hint) so I can show you all my adorable nieces and nephew. I love the Fraleys! Friday, March 27, 2009.

Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Saturday, February 28, 2009. The Season of Lent. A couple of years ago I received the Book of Common Prayer from my in-laws for Christmas. I requested it due to the prayers I had found in it at one time, and treasured. I've been gradually warming to the catholic litanies and have really valued how this little book has met my needs in several times of personal crisis. It's a little gem that a lot of evangelicals don't know very well. Psalm 51 Miserere mei, Deus.

Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Tuesday, April 22, 2008. My husband the reading fiend! By the way, in the time it took me to post my updates and read other people's updates, Jeff read AN ENTIRE BOOK. Is that not crazy? Here's proof: he's 20 pages away from the end. (and picking his head! Yes, it's true. I'm pregnant. And we all said Jeff ruined himself with the hot tubs and ocean! Well, this proves everyone wrong. Here are some of my favorite first words out of mouths:. PS I finally posted ...

Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Sunday, February 24, 2008. Jeff and I have just discovered that Portland has two winter markets open in the farmer's market "off season". The one that we have visited is the one in Hillsdale, about 20 minutes from our house. Both Sundays that we have gone have been cold and windy yet I'm amazed how many people are willing to brave any weather for good local produce. And, the abundance and variety was pretty impressive! Then he reached around, grabbed me AND a...

Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. OK, I have finally decided to bite the bullet and make some changes. I've been on a journey for the past few years to discover my inner activist and, after reading a cartload of books about environmentalism, I think I'm ready to embrace my desire to make my life less about consumption and more about quality. I doubt my husband will jump on the wagon with me for the kinds of changes I'd really. This week I am going to try to visit severa...

Move one inch at a time. You'll be just fine. Monday, May 26, 2008. Memorial Day and other stuff. Today has been a mixture of the good and bad for me. I spent the morning weeding two spots of my front lawn (yuch). It looks better, but we still have a LONG way to go. As promised, here's a picture of the side yard I'm thinking of ripping up. Obviously I'm not doing well keeping on top of it, so what's the point in even trying? Oh, and I found out today that they are pregnant with their third. If our ba...
