In case you needed fresh proof that the human race is indeed getting stranger (not to mention sketchier), I ask you to gaze on this little sign that I found taped up at the bus stop as I waited to take the shuttle up to campus. I sincerely hope with everything in me that it …
Tuesday Tell-All
*Have I mentioned before how Matt is growing an avocado plant from an avocado that I bought last summer? It’s kind of a funny story, actually—he had started growing an avocado plant on his mission and has just always wanted to grow another one, so he started dropping not-so-subtle hints soon after we got married that …
Here’s What’s Cooking…Creamy White Chicken Chili
Okay, so I know I already did a white chicken chili recipe on here. But this new recipe that I got from a friend at church is just WAAAY too amazing not to share. Seriously, I just made this recipe last week, and I’m already itching to make it again. The best part? It’s much …

Marathon Training, Week Eleven
Remember when I said that my motivation was directly proportional to the temperature outside? Well, apparently my suffering is also directly proportional to the temperature outside.
