#TBT – Roughing it

In October, we took a bunch of the youth from our youth group to a couple cabins in the woods about an hour away from Louisville. It was an awesome weekend, that I hope we replicate this fall. And boy, did it make for some good overheard quotes. Like this one, which I saved inContinue reading “#TBT – Roughing it”

Pictures now, words later

New York, New York…. last time I was there I was a silly seventh-grader more concerned about what my friends were doing than I was about seeing the sights. Lucky for me, I had the chance to go back when I was old enough to appreciate it. Lots to tell about our trip, but forContinue reading “Pictures now, words later”

The Tale of Laura and The Ghost Lizard

If you follow me on Twitter at all, you know that I tend to Tweet exponentially more when I can’t sleep, which unfortunately for me but fortunately for y’all has been happening a lot more often lately. Part of it’s some changes in my balance of chemicals but for a while, it was attributed toContinue reading “The Tale of Laura and The Ghost Lizard”

Wherein I am either the worst chaperone or the best one

I don’t remember the first time I decided I wanted a tattoo, but I know it’s been at least about 7 or 8 years now. The first time I remember even coming close to following through with wanting to get one was on Spring Break in college with some of my sorority sisters. Yes IContinue reading “Wherein I am either the worst chaperone or the best one”

Best Week Ever. Greatest Hits.

I’m just about done telling/showing you about the Jamaica trip. Except for one more thing to tell you about later that’s such a big deal it gets its own post. And here’s a hint: It involves crossing something off my List. But that’s for another time. I took almost 1000 pictures that week. Well personallyContinue reading “Best Week Ever. Greatest Hits.”

Best Week Ever. Part 1.

This summer, for the third time in 10 years, I’ve gotten to take a trip to my happy place. You see, in 2004, our youth group got the chance to visit with our sister church in Mandeville, Jamaica. We gained some awesome friendships (more about that later) and a home away from home that weContinue reading “Best Week Ever. Part 1.”

BAHSTEN, part III

So where were we, in terms of telling the story of our trip to Boston, mainly in pictures? Colonists? Yeah. This guy. OK, so basically everyone in Boston dresses like that.* Also we went to a tea party.* And met Tom Brady.* *None of those things are true, however, I did have sweet tea atContinue reading “BAHSTEN, part III”

BAHSTEN, part I

That’s how you say it, with the accent. Or maybe it’s more like BWOAHSTEN. I dunno. I can only do certain words. Like hahbah (harbor), or ahhch (arch) or pissah (pisser). Which reminds me, I only heard like, ONE person with a legit Boston accent when we were there. I’ma need a redo. So inContinue reading “BAHSTEN, part I”

InstagrAMAZING: Savannah Edition

It’s my last post on our little trip that was now more than a month ago (when did that happen?) but not because I’ve run out of pictures – I could post those for days. Or weeks. But that’s not all this blog is about. So while I work on some other things currently inContinue reading “InstagrAMAZING: Savannah Edition”
