I can do anything, but I can’t do everything.

Posted on April 21, 2016April 26, 2017 by Amy

I am one of those people who tries to carry all the grocery bags in one trip, who wants to ride every ride at the theme park, and who can’t sit still and relax when on vacation. I thought everyone was this way, until I met my husband. He likes to do a few things thoroughly,…

I love me some Lane Kim-Van Gerbig. She is zany, passionate, and true through and through. Lane and Zach’s wedding and the twin’s baby shower are two of my favorite Gilmore Girls episodes. As I was writing this post about the fear of becoming a parent, I couldn’t help think about Lane’s conversation with Rory the…

Examination of Conscience… What role am I playing in Holy Week?
