Harvest is one of my absolutely favorite times of year. It brings back so many great memories of my childhood of combine rides with my dad, the lights in the field late at night and the smell of a bountiful harvest. And now that I am an adult, I get to help with actually completing harvest,… Continue reading {Farm Girl at Heart}

In the past few years, I have learned to embrace and take advantage of new opportunities that come my way. You never know when something might be a challenge that makes you better or just becomes an incredible experience. With this in mind, I always think that trying new things is worth a shot. Whatever it… Continue reading {On the Air with NPR}

The past few weekends have been crazy, crazy full and have been such a blast! Fall is full of so many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, and my weekends have been packed with lots of activities all while enjoying time with my girlfriends.

{The Right Perspective}

Tonight was the absolutely perfect night for a walk. It’s starting to feel a little bit like fall, which I am not ready for as I absolutely love summer! But fall provides many beautiful opportunities to enjoy nature with crispness in the air. On my walk I saw the most beautiful sunset that looked more… Continue reading {The Right Perspective}

It has been way too long since I have blogged, so I have to apologize for being so silent on here!

{Embracing Joy}

July 20, 2014July 20, 2014 Angela4 Comments

I have always lived life with the perspective of the glass being half full. Living with this mentality translates into many more moments full of joy that may look otherwise if my perspective was different and the glass was half empty. You can’t always control your situation, but you can always control your perspective! In Thessalonians… Continue reading {Embracing Joy}

It started Monday night with a party with my co-workers, continued into Tuesday night as my bible study girls celebrated me and capped off my… Continue reading {A Day of Celebration!}

{Surrender}

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. As an adult, I have realized and accepted that life doesn’t always look exactly like I dreamed it would when I was a kid. And you know what? It’s totally okay. My Bible Study is studying the book Restless by Jennie Allen (love her studies — do one if you… Continue reading {Surrender}

This past weekend I made the trip to Northwest Iowa for a few big events! The biggest event I went back to celebrate was my (gasp!) ten year high school reunion. I can hardly even believe it!
