Right now we are in the middle of Andy's away rotations, a.k.a. traveling around the country for several months to check out residencies. Today, Catherine and I drove home from visiting Andy for the weekend at one of those potential residency locations. We all know I do my best thinking in the car, so bam.… Continue reading My Life Currently: A Soundtrack
Welcome back to my stream of consciousness. You weren't prepared to spend so much time inside my mind, were you? I planned to start or center this post around the following quote: "What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family." - Mother Teresa Well, being the good scholar that… Continue reading It is funny how things happen
Welcome to my stream of consciousness. It has been a while since I've been in this space. There are a lot of reasons, really. Life is busy. I'm not making space to write. My priorities are different. But I think the biggest one is I just don't know what to say and have so much… Continue reading Oh, hello.
Dropping in for some quick rambling thoughts and linking up with SQT. Does anyone write really awesome posts in their head at really inconvenient times? I do my best writing in my head while I'm driving. If I'm lucky I'll remember one or two things to actually write down afterwards. Of course, I always sound… Continue reading 7 Quick Takes v.6
Wow... April, where did you go? I think I will remember April as the month that Catherine went from being a little baby to a big baby. It kind up snuck up on me and surprised me. One week her daycare teacher and I said to each other, "She just seems so much bigger all… Continue reading //April//

After hearing that phrase over and over again in my head, I started wondering why holding my sweet sleeping babe… Continue reading Here in My Arms

Woah, 7 Quick Takes twice in a month - unheard of! Just a few links, thoughts, and nerdy excitement for you this week. 🙂 -1- She Only Said Yes Once This post makes me want to keep Catherine at home forever and ever and never let her go anywhere. Knee jerk reaction? Maybe. But she… Continue reading 7 Quick Takes v.5
In February, Catherine and I made our first solo long drive to Williamsburg, Va. (a.k.a. the Promised Land). I had 14 hours of drive time with my delightful but non-verbal companion which translated into plenty of time to think and pray. Right now we are in the phase of Andy's medical journey where the most commonly asked question… Continue reading Our Plans, God’s Plans
So I've been writing these quick takes for literally a month. That's the status of my blog life right now. I should probably title these, "5 random things rattling around in my head plus 2 pictures so it equals 7." -1- The homily at Supreme Court Justice Scalia's Funeral. Wow. One of the most Gospel… Continue reading 7 Quick Takes v.4
