New Things


It always takes me a while to recover from vacations, so now that I am pretty much back to normal I figured I would go ahead and make my life difficult again! Yes that's right, despite my earlier indications that I was too tired from the last two moves to ever move again, I am moving again. I just put a damage deposit on a cute little 1 bedroom apartment with a balcony directly behind Market Mall. Moving is always stressful, but I'm hoping this decision will decrease my stress in the long run. It gives me much needed privacy, a quiet space, and puts me close to work, church, and many of my friends. I'm not exactly looking forward to packing again, but I am excited to be moving on my own again!

past perfect

One thing continually bothers me as I read Diana Gabaldon's richly detailed story of Claire Beauchampe, a doctor who innocently walks into a stone formation in Scotland and winds up in 16th century Scotland.

Through their many, often rediculous, adventures there is that one thing that my brain ...

Gingerbread Cupcakes!

Well here they are, my rendition of a cupcake featuring ginger - in this case gingerbread cupcakes! I thought they turned out pretty good. I added 1/2 a cup more milk than I was supposed to and yet they managed to turn out fairly good texture wise. The flavour is a lot like gingerbread (with a few extra helpings of ginger) and the icing is a cream cheese icing.

Jonathan

I wanted to take a few minutes to write about someone who became very dear to me in a very short time. Jonathan and I had been exchanging regular e-mails asking each other everything about our lives and hopes and dreams. I tend to be a very private person (runs in my family), so I wouldn't normally share this much with someone I've only known for such a short time, but after reading his first few e-mails I found myself surprisingly comfortable with this partial stranger. Over the months of getting to know each other I learned about his past, his hopes for his future, and even the sweet little details like what he wants to name his first child. We talked theology, philosophy, literature, movies, and anything else that popped up. Eventually we made plans to get together and went out for tea at a local tea house. Despite live music that, though well performed, made conversation difficult, we talked and enjoyed our time together. We continued to dat...
