So I’ve been home for a couple of weeks now… Slowly reintegrating back into the “real” world. This past weekend was actually my first full weekend home since July 1st, and it was a little strange. Strange because, by the time Saturday evening rolled around, after a full day of lounging around doing nothing, I […]

In addition to having a McGraw-filled weekend, I also got to catch up with some dear old friends who are finally back on the West Coast after too many years in dreary Ithaca, NY. Chris and Liz, both fellow Capricorns, are one of my favorite couples. To be honest, I usually can’t stand to be […]

Well this has been an awesome weekend (and it’s not even over yet, lol)! Rolled down to LA on Thursday to catch Tim and Faith at the Staples Center… I know, I know, after seeing the show already in Dallas, Nashville, and Seattle — why the need to see it again… Normal people just don’t […]

So most of you know that I’ve been waiting very patiently to hear back from several publishers who are reviewing my manuscript… One publisher in particular I was very anxious to hear from, as they were one of my top choices, and two editors at this publishing house had shown interest in my manuscript. Well […]

It is so beautiful everywhere, and the closer we get to California, the more and more things are […]

It’s pretty crazy to me how as much of this country that I’ve seen in the past month, that things are still able to awe and amaze me. I swear, as we make our way West, the scenery just gets more and more gorgeous — and after the South and the Tetons, I didn’t think […]

Just a quickie to let everyone know Meg and I made it safely to our campsite in Eastern Washington State. I am actually writing you from camp, beside a gorgeous river…What can I say, wireless internet rocks, lol. The car (and tires) seem to be holding up fine and things feel back to “normal”. We […]
