Car Trouble
Friday could not get here fast enough. It had been a long week! Besides doctor appointments, I had met with some friends the night before to try and diagnose my laptop and phone issues. After spending hours on it, the consensus was to make an appointment at the Apple...
Mexican Food
My doctor had ordered an ultrasound as the next test following the CT scan, to collect more information. In medical terms, it is a sigmoidoscopy, which is a fancy way of saying rectal ultrasound. Now you understand why I am choosing to simply say… ultrasound. This...
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

I was minutes away from walking out the door, having planned my departure down to the last second. Racing up the stairs one final time, my mind was trying to assimilate what my peripheral vision had captured. Was I imagining things or was our fully decorated...
Lock It Up
