Big Little Brother

Caleb is here!!! My "big little brother" (he's 19, so he's younger than me, but he's about 6' tall... =D) has been working on a ranch for the last few months and we have really missed him. He's here for 2 whole weeks. And Amber (my older sister) will be coming in from San Angelo on Friday and will be here for a week. We're so excited--our whole family will be together for an entire week!!! We're anticipating having a lot of fun, laughing a lot, and just in general enjoying each other. Fun, fun, fun!

OK, I finally got the Philadelphia and Valley Forge videos done! I just have about 6 more videos to make...it's fun, but it takes a while to do these!! Anyway, here's the newest two:

Valley Forge, PA

Philadelphia, PA

Hope you enjoy those! Also, real quick, just for fun, I found a site that does some of those random quiz things (y'know, like "what's your real age?" and "how normal are you?" kinds of things...). Here's the results from one of the ones I did:





You Are Lavender



You are a sweet person with a very soft personality.

People become easily entranced with you. They seem to glow around you.

You have a quiet energy that can keep you active late into the night.

Even if you aren't the life of the party, you definitely keep the party going.


I love doing those color ones best; it's really quite amazing how many of them come out telling me I'm purple or some shade of purple! (For those who may not know, purple is my favorite color! =D)

Well, I've gotta run...Caleb and Mom are playing ping-pong, and I want to get in on the fun. Y'all have a super-blessed week and don't forget to laugh! =D

Sex & "the good Christian single"

 Yep. Buckle up, we're going there. This post might get a little uncomfortable, but it's a topic that can't exactly be ignored! And, as I said at the beginning of this little "series" earlier this year, "my goal is to be uncomfortably honest, vulnerable, real, raw." Besides, the world is talking about sex all the time , and if we as Jesus-followers don't talk about it from a Jesus-perspective, the world is going to shape the views and opinions of sex for an entire generation. Or two. Or more.  Let's start with some basic statements just for the sake of clarity: 1. Sex is God's idea, and it is good.  All through the Bible, from Adam & Eve being "naked & unashamed" in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2), to the graphic love poetry of Song of Solomon, to Paul exhorting husbands and wives to freely share their bodies with one another in 1 Corinthians 7, the Bible paints a picture of sex within marriage being good, beautiful, encourag...

Six Flags!

Some would no doubt consider it a strange "Sabbath kick-off", but for me a trip to Six Flags Over Texas (in Arlington) was just the ticket! Between my love of roller coasters, the nostalgia this place holds, and the healthy benefits of fresh air and sunshine, it was fantastic. Oh, and the company was pretty great, too. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to have my "OG Six Flags fam" along--aka, my family and the Vests, of course! Six Flags has always been about facing and overcoming fear for me. I was a very fearful/timid child, and as an adult looking back I think one of the best things my parents did for my little anxious self was take me to ride roller coasters!! (I would insert the "tears of joy" emoji here if I could!) I was coaxed and cajoled on to rides I was hesitant about, but never forced to ride anything--though I waited in every line with them and I was not allowed to complain. Every year, there were rides where ...

oh, look! it's a blog!

I really thought I was going to do better at blogging this month. Ha! I have a post in my drafts section that I started two weeks ago, but there it sits. It's going to require more time and thought to finish than I have at this moment, so it will have to wait. However, it IS going to get finished and posted at some point! :) Today, for most of the day it's just Jonathan and I here at home. Weird, huh? Daddy, Micah, and Josiah are at a men's retreat/camp-out with the church, and Momma had to work today. So, Jonathan and I are hanging out (read: cleaning house and putting the new sheets on the beds and icing cupcakes :) ). This evening, there is a "praise for pro-life" thing at a church here in Springtown that we're planning to go to. It's a fundraiser for a pregnancy center. (October 24, 6 pm, Outreach of Love church on Hwy 199 in Springtown, admission is a baby bottle full of change...just in case anyone wanted to know!) Tomorrow after church, we're ha...
