My friends, I can finally exhale. The class is over, as is my commute down to Pasadena (at least, for now–but who knows what the future holds?). Although I’m still not feeling great, I’ve been able to settle down into a functional combination of rest and work. Things have been changing inside the home, outside [...]

Ugh
Hi guys–sorry I haven’t posted! Between a whirlwind trip and back to New Jersey, finishing up the quarter for my exegetical methods class, and feeling sick as a dog, I’ve had a hard time blogging. Things are poised to calm down in the next week or so, and I’m hoping to go back to daily [...]

Perfectly Formed
This is a piece of burr comb that we recently took out of the hive before we added a second super (which is another box with frames inside it). Burr comb is wax comb that is made in empty spaces–in this case, they had made it when the sugar water ran low and they found [...]

Whirlwind
Like our land in spring, life is moving so fast that it’s sometimes hard to keep up. The oak leaves are beginning to tint the branches with green. The lilacs are showing their potential, hinting at what is to come. Grass is growing at an incredible rate. We even had a tulip pop up out [...]

We painted the hive a light yellow. The paint is necessary to seal the wood, but it has to be a light [...]

New Schedule
It’s been a little tough getting used to our new schedule, but hopefully everything will begin to fall into place. Last week was my first week back at school, but with the added 2 1/2 hour commute each way (well, 2 1/2 hours in the morning, 2 hours in the afternoon). I’m doing my best [...]

Knee Day
A couple of years ago St. Patrick’s Day ceased to be a day for green beer and pinching–at least in our family. March 17, 2008 changed the course of events in our calendar, overwriting St. Patty for the evermore infamous “Knee Day.” This was the day of my second ACL reconstruction. The final ACL reconstruction, [...]

A New Quarter
My first quarter of my second year in seminary is officially in full swing. I admit it–I love being back in school. I love my classes, my professors are amazing, and I feel all the wheels in my head turning ferociously. It feels good. One of the things I like best about being in school [...]

Preparation
September is here again, and in this month I will begin my second year at Fuller Seminary. Technically, I’m about 1/2 way through my MDiv program because of my transfer units, but that will all be evened out this year as I cut back a little on classes. I’m hoping to focus more and more [...]
Just a joyful Catholic girl trying to live as simply and consciously and gratefully as possible in this beautiful, amazing world...and bringing as many as possible along for the ride.
