About me

Gender Female
Location Virginia, United States
Introduction My blog continues...in Virginia. We recently moved from North Carolina and I am starting over with a "fresh" blog too. After the whirlwind of settling in, I'm just now picking up where we left off, and picking up the camera too. I am so grateful for our blessings, and even our trials (at least I try to be grateful, but often dissolve into worry, but I'm working on that!) because all of life is a wonderful gift from God.
Interests My faith & family. Creative things I'd like to do: scrapbooking, braiding rugs, painting, cooking, gardening, drawing. Fun things: Hiking, canoeing & camping - and I just bought a bike! Interests: Christianity, politics, personal finance, parenting, current events, architecture, real estate.
Favorite Movies You've Got Mail, Father of the Bride I & II (I'm a sucker for sweet romantic comedies) Sleepless in Seattle, Last Holiday, Luther (about Martin Luther), The Pursuit of Happyness, The Blind Side, Rudy, any Doris Day, Esther Williams, & Lucille Ball movies, Miracle on 34th St (the 1994 remake!), A Christmas Story, The Santa Clause movies...basically anything happy, funny, & romantic (but not sleezy)
Favorite Music Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Dean Martin, Ella, Elvis, Patsy Cline, Louis Armstrong, Diana Krall, Steve Tyrell, Lou Rawls, Tony Bennet, Harry Connick Jr, Natalie Cole, Kenny G, Dave Koz, John Denver, Bette Midler, Amy Grant, Martina McBride...
Favorite Books The Jan Karon series of books melt my heart and inspire me the most, books I enjoy are usually related to Christianity - C.S. Lewis, Billy Graham, Max Lucado. I hope to get back to reading more soon.
