One day at a time. It is a challenge to break away from the norm. It is scary to stand out. I think those tulips might be on to something. I wrote a blog post for work the other day that was featured on our Power of the Home.

Wednesday, June 20, 2012. So, we have been in America for over 6 weeks. What a transition it has been! Life in the States is so different from life in a small Ukrainian town. The pace of life, the cost of living, overabundance of choices are all things we are adjusting to. We miss our friends and church family in Ukraine, but we look ahead to all that God will do here in America. Here is a brief rundown of our journey over the past month and a half. Jaden with the bearded dragons. That sums it up! We are.

Sunday, July 26, 2009. For the past three years I have had the bad habit of getting some fresh air late at night. It started with walking; I would walk for hours just up and down Magnolia. Then it went to jogging and sometimes running. Now I am truly enjoying biking the small stretch of Magnolia from Adams Street to Monroe. The path has stayed the same and so has the temperature. The running dealt directly with my sick niece.
