Crazy Love

I think I promised a really, really long time ago to tell the full story of how Randy & I met and got together. It really is a crazy story, and it definitely shows The Lord's hand in bringing us together from a very early time. Since it's Valentine's Day, now seemed like a good time to share "the story of us." photo by McKenzie Baird I'll begin with where things start from my end... When I was about to be a senior in high school, my mom was going insane because I wasn't even thinking about which schools I wanted to attend once I graduated. I had no clue. I didn't even know where to begin. At that time, she was working at our church in the creative arts department and a friend from church, whom I didn't know well at the time, was interning with the youth department and told my mom about her university a few hours away. Before I even knew what was going on, we were scheduled for a trip to go visit and I was furious. I had a boyfriend bac...

Naturally Skeptic

Lately, I have been looking into what many have, especially these days. I have been trying to convert to more natural living. I am always really careful to take everything I read about natural products with a grain of salt because I believe humans were given the knowledge needed for medicine (which, are often made from plants!) for a reason...even though we often abuse it! I believe everything should be done and taken under doctor supervision, especially if it's supposed to treat something major, like a heart condition. I recently had a woman at a farmer's market who tried to tell me not to take medicine for things like blood pressure and such after I told her I believed herbs and remedies were great for certain things, but others needed more serious treatment. I only mentioned it to her after she told me she had some type of a "medical degree", thinking she might understand my view. Definitely skeptical about what kind of degree... I just kind of nodded, smiled, ...

Broken

That is how I feel right now. Broken. So where to begin? First off, so sorry it has been forever since my last post. I've actually written 7 drafts in the last few months, but I never finish them or post them. Things have been absolutely insane around here lately and I have been so busy that I want to go back in time and tell the me from this past year she doesn't know the first thing about being busy. Long story short, I got a job! Well, I guess it's not exactly a long story...I found out about the job and got the job within a 6 day period. Not too shabby! I feel like I'm back where I was in 2009, 2010, and half of 2011. I was working a 30 hour job, taking 12-18 hours a semester and sleeping about 3 hours a night. Fortunately, I'm sleeping around 6-8 hours these days - PRAISE THE LORD! - but I have a TON of homework and I usually don't get home from work until 6:30. Couple that with trying to go to bed before 11 and I have zero time for a life. I want...
