Top three Josh-quotes that prove his love for me

My youngest brother has always been so cute. We have a special, loving relationship which can be explored via my favorite Josh-quotes (below). 1. “Don’t worry, Danielle. If you ever lost your job…I would pay for your food.” 2. “You do such a good job…cleaning the bathroom.” 3.. “I had a dream where you died,ContinueContinue reading “Top three Josh-quotes that prove his love for me”

My sibs wake up early for me

My car is generally pretty reliable, which is a grace. It’s also super comfortable, which is awesome for car trips. But, last week my heat kicked out, which was challenging. My dad had Friday off, so I took his car to work and he told me he’d take my car into the shop. Thing is,ContinueContinue reading “My sibs wake up early for me”

This past week: through the lens of “friends”

I’ll start by stating: I’m not fully informed on Twitter etiquette. So, my friend Kathryn tweets at me and I want to share it with all ya’lls. Am I supposed to erase her account evidence (for safety reasons) or am I supposed to let everyone see it and follow her (you know, the whole socialContinueContinue reading “This past week: through the lens of “friends””

For my grandma, who taught me to dance

If my grandmother was alive, either yesterday or today would have been her birthday. Except, I don’t remember and my mother can’t exactly place the date either. So, we’re going with today. Happy birthday, Grandma D. This post deserves a disclaimer, lest you believe me to be something I’m not. I dance, but I don’tContinueContinue reading “For my grandma, who taught me to dance”

Frankendress closure and how my grandparents met <3

So I was looking at my visitors last night…seeing what people have been reading and what not. It turns out people keep checking for updates on the “Frankendress.” So I thought to myself, “Self, I think you should let these fine people know what ended up happening with that dress.” And I will! I finishedContinueContinue reading “Frankendress closure and how my grandparents met <3”

Their hearts were moved with pity. Part II

Last night I read this: Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.ContinueContinue reading “Their hearts were moved with pity.

Their hearts were moved with pity. Part I.

Friday was a day, ya’ll. One of those days where you’re like, “Wait, wait, is this really happening to me?” And not exactly in the good way, either…rather, the kind of way that promises to seep into your weekend and puke sewer water into your otherwise happy-weekend thoughts. And then I was emailed this picture:ContinueContinue reading “Their hearts were moved with pity. Part I.”

Lauren believes in me

Yesterday I wrote this on my friend Lauren’s Facebook wall: Everything written above is true: thought, encouragement, purchase. Done. Facts: I want to make a dress. I have green and black crepe. I need to sew like a maniac if I plan on being successful. I don’t mind deadlines, honestly. Plus: Lauren believes in me.ContinueContinue reading “Lauren believes in me”

St. Luke and Colleen

When I sat in mass on the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, the priest started mass with a short biography of St. Luke–but it was different from any other St. Luke bio I had ever heard. Most St. Luke biographies outline that this Evangelist wrote the Gospel according to St. Luke (kind of obvious,ContinueContinue reading “St. Luke and Colleen”
