So it is proudly said that West Virginia is "almost heaven" and I'm seeing their point: the views are spectacular, the people friendly...For real, the mountain beauty is a sight to behold. I wish I'd been using my camera instead of just my cell phone. *Shocker alert* I have't had my real camera out yet. … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: searching for signal
The Next Big Narraway Adventure
It's been almost a month since I wrote this post about our upcoming move. How is that possible? Almost a month has passed?! Micah wanted me to write a "how to move your 10 person family 7 hours away" post... I'm not sure I have one of those to write. Honestly, Josh should write that one. … Continue reading The Next Big Narraway Adventure
Wednesdays with Jillene: the point of no return
I was watching some kids on the challenge course yesterday when I heard the phrase that's been echoing through my thoughts for the last few days: "Point of no return." point of no return noun 1. a point at which an irreversible commitment must be made to an action, progression, etc 2. a point in … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: the point of no return
The time has come to write this post
So... I haven't written in a while because we've been getting ready for this: Today was truck packing day (which was about as intense as you'd imagine...) Guys, the #narrawayresettlement2017 is about to begin!!! And here's some things about that: We never imagined this is how life would go. Very little of the last 15+ … Continue reading The time has come to write this post
Wednesdays with Jillene: living in freedom
For the last 15 years I've been able to say, "I live in Freedom." I'm pretty sure I snicker each time too. It's fun to live in a township named "Freedom" for a couple reasons. 1- Sometimes I say it imagining that municipality borders mean nothing to me. 2- The Camp Vick mailing address is in … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: living in freedom
Wednesdays with Jillene: more than a first impression
"You never get a second chance to make a first impression." I can't remember when I first began caring about making first impressions. At what point in a person's life do we make that extra effort to present our best self in an initial meeting? I watch my girls at the playground. They run right … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: more than a first impression
Wednesdays with Jillene: when you can’t see the why
"But... why?" Oh, how many, many, many, many times in life do we ask, "Why?" It think it is intrinsic to who we are as human beings to want to know why. Did you ever notice, that for all the times we seek the answer to that ever present questions, there are way too many times the … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: when you can’t see the why
Mother’s Day Edition 2017: Can you do these three things today?
I'm guessing it's coming as no surprise Mother's Day. Did you notice people started celebrating it on Facebook days ago. Here we are: Mother's Day. Today is a day to honor, celebrate, remember mothers. We buy them flowers, cards, candy, gifts, take her out to eat, and in church we ask them to stand while … Continue reading Mother’s Day Edition 2017: Can you do these three things today?
Wednesdays with Jillene: not the time to talk
This is no shocker to those who know me: I talk... a lot. What do you imagine it would be like to be there when I encounter one of those rare moments when I'm speechless? I guess you could be relieved that I finally stopped gabbing. Would you be perplexed to see this side of me you'd never … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: not the time to talk
Wednesdays with Jillene: homophones, for the times you say one thing when really you should mean the other
Homophones are fun... and obnoxious. Great amusement can result from their intentional use and (often) unintended misuse. When it comes to learning spelling, homophones can be a source of intense frustration. For the purposes of understanding in the flow of conversation, homonyms are even worse. ho·mo·phone ˈhäməˌfōn,ˈhōməˌfōn/ noun each of two or more words having … Continue reading Wednesdays with Jillene: homophones, for the times you say one thing when really you should mean the other
