    Happy Birthday, The Value of One…and Giveaway!!!

    Today marks a year since my first two postsĀ (here’s the other one). Wow, so much has gone on in a year!!! I am so grateful for this blog that the Lord has given me, and the opportunities He has given me through this. I have gotten to know so many lovely Christian young ladies, and [...]

    Love Letters to an Unknown Someone…

    Saturday, June 27th, 2009

    Growing up I heard of girls who wrote letters to their special someones and kept them for the day when they married. I’ve always thought it was a lovely idea, but never did it. (The joys of procrastination…sigh…) So today I was determined to begin. Some people set a date…like once a year they write [...]

    Summertime…

    Friday, June 26th, 2009

    Here it is. Summer is here in all its glory. The heat, the sunburns (ouch), the barbeque, the heat, the picnics, getting away with wearing only a tad bit of makeup, the heat, swimming, baseball season, Independence Day, the heat. And it’s when the ugly monster rears its head. Because with all the heat comes [...]

    “How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.”–Psalms 36:7

    North and South Trailer…

    Thursday, June 25th, 2009

    I found this trailer on YouTube…I don’t think it’s an “official” trailer but it tells the story well without giving it away…which is more than I can say about a lot of trailers now a days…;-) And it’s missing it’s awesome soundtrack…oh, well, you get the idea. We all loved this film–Dad says that it’s [...]

    Happy Birthday, Jon!

    Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

    Yikes! Jon’s birthday was two days ago! Aaanyway, I finally got these pics up…sorry, Jon! I was five years old when Jon was born on June 22, 1994. Since Nick and I were so close in age (2 1/2 years apart), Jonny was my chance to flex my “big sister” muscles. Jon has always been [...]

    Happy Father’s Day!

    Sunday, June 21st, 2009

    (1990) You are my hero… (1991) You are my knight in shining armour… (1995) You are the protector of my heart… (2005) You are the standard for what I want in a man… (2005) And no matter where I go or how old I am, (2006) You’ll always be my Daddy, and I’ll always be [...]

    Move Over, Mr. Darcy…

    Saturday, June 20th, 2009

    “Look back…look back at me.”–John Thornton Forget Mr. Darcy’s title as the best and most famous costume drama hero ever. Colin Firth has been bumped over. Today I watched the BBC drama North and South for the first time. And I loved it. L-O-V-E-D it. Loved the story, the costumes, the drama… And of course, [...]

    The Birth and Brainstorm Process of My Novel

    Thursday, June 11th, 2009

    On Kaye Dacus’ blog, she has been chronicling the journey of her two soon-to-be released books, Menu for Romance (sequel to Stand-in Groom) and her Regency historical Ransome’s Honor. After reading it, it inspired me to write about the inspiration and journey of my own Story, yet untitled and still in the last round of [...]
