Dating is hard.   It just is. For most of us, its a means to a more committed end, and so we endure it, but sometimes dating is just the worst. I’m not talking “dating” like a relationship. I’m talking guy meets girl, guy asks girl on date, both spend the evening nervously trying not […]

God is disruptive.   Have you ever noticed that? Straight up disruptive. He’s won’t just leave things the same. No matter how perfectly situated I get my life, no matter how perfectly I’ve trained my ducks to swim in that row, He inevitably does a cannon ball into the pond. Even better, sometimes He’s more […]

We all have friends who drive us a little crazy. Their inability to commit to plans is unmatched, their addiction to rap music could make ears bleed, and their aversion to fast food makes road trips far too healthy. But some part of us finds their quirks endearing (that’s what you guys think about me, […]

A new year, a new you. This year will be the year that we finally do all the things that we’ve been putting off. We’ll fit into those old jeans again, be more selfless, and keep the house a little cleaner. As of January 1, we will be new. There’s magic in that day. Except […]

It all started with another one of my bright ideas. A few years back, I decided that my friends and I would all dress up and hit the town for my birthday. Girls in dresses, guys in ties. The night came, and while thunder and rain crashed down outside, I was throwing dresses out of […]

I’ve hit an age (well actually, I hit it about 6 years ago) where marriage is a hot topic of conversation among my friends. Not just among my female friends either. Apparently, we have finally arrived at an age where the guys have come around to the idea that maybe marriage isn’t the killer of […]

Alright. We all saw it. The infamous controversy over the new Starbucks cups. In case you somehow missed it, there are Christians (supposedly) who weren’t all too thrilled that Starbucks went minimalist this year and removed all holiday/Christmas emblems from their holiday cups. (I must have somehow missed back when baby Jesus was on the cup. […]

I make inexplicable choices. Because I am me. That pretty much sums it up. One of my favorite examples of this landed me bleeding on a first date. Let me back up. One of my really good friends, who I also had a crush on, invited me to his work Christmas party. I was pretty pumped […]

As a disclaimer to this post, I have never been married, and I’m not an authority on dating (ask any of my ex-boyfriends). But I am a twenty something, who is looking to marry, is a little frustrated with how that process has gone, and is the target audience for the “Marry Someone Who…” and […]

To be honest (that’s the whole point here, right?) I put off starting this blog for a long time. I’ve always loved writing, and I certainly have always loved giving my opinion, just ask my friends, or anyone who has ever met me. But actually putting my writing out there scared me. I was afraid of […]
