Running bling and a missing wedding ring
March 22, 2016
Husband and I ran another half marathon this weekend, and it was SO fun. However, the weeks leading up to it weren’t so fun. Then I lost my wedding ring. … More Running bling and a missing wedding ring
The writing on the wall
March 9, 2016
Husband called me as he usually does at the end of the workday. We went over our plans for the evening as well as plans for tomorrow night’s sushi date to celebrate 19 months of being married. “Sake bombs!” He exclaimed. “Ha, funny,” I said. “But we agreed: No alcohol until our half marathon on … More The writing on the wall

The stuff we have? It’s not ours. It’s all God’s. It’s never ours. We steward it, but it’s His. … More What we own is not ours to keep
Giving up and giving praise
September 3, 2015
The end of last week was a little rough for husband and me. Others far away at heart but close in reality took advantage of our time, our good faith efforts, and our trust. I’d like to walk away from them, but family ties prevent that at the moment. While venting about their lack of … More Giving up and giving praise
Unbridled by forgiveness
August 24, 2015
Eight months into our marriage, while reviewing some paperwork, I stumbled onto a secret my husband had been hiding from me for almost 6 months. It was nothing morally wrong. It didn’t bankrupt us. It wasn’t creepy. But I felt deceived and dishonored. How could he keep something like this from me for so long? … More Unbridled by forgiveness
Two more things I’ve learned about marriage
August 9, 2015
On our 10-month anniversary I mulled over what God and my husband have shown me about our marriage and what we need to do to keep it healthy. Today is our first anniversary. I’d like to jump up and pump both fists while shouting “YES” at a library-inappropriate level in honor of the difficulties we’ve … More Two more things I’ve learned about marriage
InstaGlory
July 9, 2015
Fun fact: I love Instagram. I’ve loved taking pictures and curating photographs since my eighth birthday, when my parents gave me a 110 mm camera. In high school, when I found myself enrolled in Photo II instead of Photo I, and the expectation was that I already knew how to operate an SLR (I did not) … More InstaGlory
The secret of being content
July 1, 2015
Ever have a week where nothing seems to go your way? That was me this past week. Work has been a fire hose of tasks, plus we have a new intern whose help I’m grateful for, but who also requires precious time to train on everything from how to use our phones to how to … More The secret of being content
Prayer for my husband
June 27, 2015
We got engaged at the end of October 2013, after finishing our first marathon. We were sweaty. I was cranky. He almost proposed in front of a row of porta-potties. You can read that story here. At Christmas, my dear friend Susan gifted us our first tree ornament: a circular medallion that reads, Kelly & … More Prayer for my husband
