maybe not the best thing for a no-Coke diet…

maybe not the best thing for a no-Coke diet…

In an effort to entertain myself without spending money, I decided to build some puzzles. Unfortunately, the puzzle I chose didn’t help curb my Coke cravings… (Click to make bigger) Too bad there’s a piece missing! Oh and I’m happy to report that I did NOT cave and drink Coke, even while building this puzzle.

So the BIG NEWS tonight is SNOW! In Atlanta! This is my first snowfall since I left Indiana in 2004.

sunday ponderings: reflection

sunday ponderings: reflection

This Sunday, Paul and I visited the Sunday evening service that our church offers. It’s called “The Gathering”, and it’s for college and young adults. We had heard it was mostly singles, but we wanted to check it out anyways. We had an interesting experience, and I really wish I had attended there when I first moved to Atlanta, for the year that I was here and Paul was in Rhode Island. It doesn’t really fit us anymore, but I…
