This is my life.

For the last 8 months, I have been feeling the tug to start a blog; though with hesitation do I actually begin.

I am a small town girl at heart, born and raised in the heart of America on the Nebraska/Kansas state line. I grew up where the skies are blue, the grass is green (most of the time), God is Lord over all, and grandma always has cookies ready for anyone who walks in her back door. O, and the closest Walmart, well, it's 45 minutes away. We hardly ever locked our cars or our houses and you waived to anyone and everyone you met on the road.

I’m now a city girl, but only by my address. I live in the great Twin Cities with my husband who is currently in his last year of school work for Seminary. I've lived here for a while now, but my heart still longs for the wide open countryside.

My passions include my relationship with my Father in heaven, the gift of marriage, being a godly wife and soon-to-be mother, and having meaningful friendships with those around me. My current week fillers include full-time employee at a law firm, full-time student, youth small group leader, wife, and friend.

So this is my life, my Labor of Love.
