It’s been five months since we moved here, and four since the Great Church Debacle of 2009, and we still haven’t found a church here in San Francisco. It’s kind of frustrating, but it doesn’t surprise me. It took us almost two years to find our church in Maine; it makes sense that it would [...]
I have a lot of things I’m thinking about lately, so I think I’ll just do a bullet-style post; it’s just easier than writing a ton of transitions.
Writing: A post manifesto piece about our child rearing ideas. It’s gotten really, really long. It may wind up being a series of posts, actually, but, then, that [...]
I heard back from the pastor. I emailed my letter Tuesday afternoon about 2:00, and he called me at 5:30. Not a bad turnaround, actually, considering I wasn’t expecting a response.
The conversation was very civil, and very calm. He apologized for how we were treated, and said that he was glad I’d taken the time [...]
Remember this post? About the time Elanor and I got kicked out of a coffee shop?
Yeah.
It happened again. Only this time, we didn’t get kicked out of a coffee shop, we got kicked out of a church.
*jaw drops to floor*
I know! Me! Getting kicked out of church! CHURCH! Haha. It’s so absurd that it’s freaking [...]
If you’re on Facebook, you’ve probably seen my status update: we’re moving to San Francisco!
Brett got a new job there, and he starts on June 1st. So it’s all happening very, very quickly, which is both good and bad. Good because money coming in is good, and bad because, well, packing an entire house in [...]
In a recent post, I mentioned that we’ve been dealing with more frustration and stress lately. Well, without going into too much detail, it all came to a head last week, and Brett was laid off from his job.
I’m not going to delve into the specifics, but it’s been kind of a long, drawn-out process [...]
What an historic day! We turned the TV on tonight in time to see both candidates’ speeches. I was very glad we caught both of them. While they were speaking, I found myself thinking that McCain was a truly classy loser and that Obama has a really good speechwriter. (I loved the part where he [...]
I’m tired these days. Between daylight saving time (and Elanor’s crappy sleep as a result), Brett working very long hours, me trying to fit my at-home work in around the rest of our lives (which means I’m usually doing it from 9 or 10 p.m. until midnight or even 1 a.m.), and Elanor having become [...]
I’ve been feeling in a little bit of a funk this week for the first time since Elanor was born. It’s partly due to some relational issues that I won’t talk about here, but that have been consuming a lot of my mind and heart. One of them is mostly worked out, and the other [...]
We have so much to be thankful for this year. There have definitely been some extremely crappy times over the past twelve months, but it seems like for the first time in about four years, our lives are essentially really, really good overall.
At the top of my list is that Brett and I seem to [...]
