I love this. And its where I choose to stand. I haven’t said much here, but I am a runner. I LOVE to run and a Boston Marathon qualifying time was and still is my runner’s dream. I believe that the running community will be stronger because of this, stand up and fight for what…
I am just not sure there is anything better than nut butter and chocolate. Maybe the fact that I’m 4.5 weeks away from being done with my first year of grad school! But I feel like that is on another level. Can I tell you real quick that the weather in West Texas is crazy?…
These egg muffins are my saving grace this semester! I feel like my life is a little like a kitchen sink…a little bit of everything gets thrown in! On Sundays I make a batch of egg muffins and heat up two of them each morning, it’s thanks to these babies that I eat breakfast. They’re…
God has a funny way of surprising us. I think He really delights in surprising us when we make bold statements. As Meagan, Jessie and I sat in my “new” apartment enjoying the fact that we were all now living in Texas, one of them asked where I saw myself after grad school. I had…
I have to be honest. I am taking a break from studying pediatric dysphagia (swallowing and feeding disorders in children) and so posting a recipe has all sorts of different ideas running through my mind. Everything from the motor reflexes involved in swallowing to why kids are picky eaters. I’m learning that it can take…
“She’s always buzzing just like neon…” Oh John Mayer, if you only knew. Some days I don’t feel like I take a breath until I lay down, but I love the busy. I love the whirlwind. I love learning and growing. This semester I have two clinical placements. One off campus, 8 hours a week…
As promised, my favorite moments of Christmas break… Reading (not a textbook) and mulled wine. A wonderful day at Disneyland with this gem! Pictures with Santa, inspired by 8 month old Lily! Another wonderful day at Disneyland with mom! There is no one more fun than this lady! Snow Mater! I loved enjoying the newest…
It’s a gloomy day in Abilene and I’m enjoying the morning at Mezamiz Coffee House with some good music and strong espresso with rich, creamy half and half. It’s New Year’s Eve and I cannot help but reflect on 2012. I’ve spent time reflecting with one of my dearest friends, Lynnae. We’ve realized how over…
Every once in awhile you see the term selah written in the Psalms (and in Habakkuk a few times). This is a Hebrew term. Selah was built into Jewish worship – they would pause, grow quiet and reflect on what they had just read or sung. When I first learned this word, it struck me. Then…
There have been days lately when I’ve felt that I don’t even have time to breathe; but then I remember there’s always time to make fudge. In the beginning of the semester I felt like I had just jumped into a big pool from the high dive. Silly me, that was just the shallow end.…
