It was kinda crazy to think this would be our last Christmas with just the two of us.  This time next year, Lord willing, we will have a cute little few month old baby with us.  It was also pretty cool that this year Travis's parents had just happened to invite my Mom and Joe down to share Christmas with all of us.  It's cool to see how God orchestrated us being together with such great news to

Soooo, we're having a baby!  The world pretty much knows by now, but after being harassed by a sweet friend that my blog had been lacking for quiet some time now, I decided to get this thing going again. I pretty much knew I was pregnant before I took the test.  All those lovely changes that start taking place were happening, and I knew something was different.  It was the weekend of December

Ok, so these next few posts will be out of order, but my good friend, Brenda, just blogged about my last shower, so I'm going to take the lazy way out and send you over to her blog to read about it.   It was, without question, the funnest (yes funnest) lingerie shower I have ever been to!  Lacy Beckler, once again, you out did yourself in the planning!  This is girl is so stinkin creative!

I haven't blogged much in the last couple years, but as I sat in my quiet time today I was overwhelmed with the need to blog.  I've been reading in Deuteronomy for some time now.  I've been taking my time, really soaking up each and every verse of every chapter.  It really is one of my favorite books.  As I prepare for this big huge new chapter in my life, marriage, there are so many thoughts

Soooo, we're engaged!!! Again! I know, I know...All I can say is that it's been a great journey, and we've learned and grown a ton!  It was a complete surprise, and anyone who knows me knows it is REALLY hard to surprise me.  Travis had my mom and step dad drive up to be apart of the fun day.  I honestly thought I had invited them down to see us that day, but somehow Travis got one step ahead

Here's a picture recap of the last year in my 20's!!! January...Travis is 30. VEGAS! February...SNOW!! Lots and lots of it. March and April were pretty uneventful.  But here's a pic from a fab 70's/80's birthday party I went to. May...Settling into Austin June...Caleb and Kari get married! July...Trip to Tennessee August....Kashuba kids birthday bash! September...kinda boring, so here's

March madness is on the horizon, and I know I'm not alone in wondering, "Where has the time gone?!?"  How in the heck is it March!  I know I say this every year, but I swear with each passing year I mean it more and more...I feel like time is just flying by!  Please.  Slow.  Down!!! I've been doing a ton of reflecting and looking back.  To think I've been in Austin for over 9 months seems

So, I'm 30.  The big 3-0.  No longer will I see that young, innocent, sweet little "2" in the front of my age, but instead the "3" has taken over.  Honestly, I find it incredibly fun and exciting.  Seriously.  Not even an ounce of "pretending" to love being in my 30's, or even wanting to hold on to that 29.  Anyone else feel that way turning 30?  I am fully embracing and loving 30.  And here's

I got away for a much needed trip home.  It's amazing what just a few days away from the gym will do for you!!!  Loved every minute of it.  I got to spend a ton of time with the Kashuba clan, which was crazy fun as always.  Aunt Heather had missed those three crazy kids!!!  It's been birthday time in the Kashuba house for the last month or so, so to celebrate they had a super fun party at the

I often use to write, be vulnerable, open, honest, etc, etc...but that was a long time ago.  Now my thoughts and feelings seem a constant mess, in a million pieces, with zero ability to piece them together.  I have had fleeting moments of clarity, but those moments truly are fleeting.  What I've come to realize is that putting all those pieces together does not create a very pretty picture.

I read on a blog recently... "You're never stuck in a season; you're always stuck in a rut." This was actually his concluding statement for that particular short post.  What preceded this conclusion was: "Seasons come and go. We can endure them and lean into them because we know they're fleeting. Ruts aren't so friendly. If you "lean-in" to a rut, you'll only go deeper. They aren't

1. TENNIS! Travis and I are playing a lot of tennis right now.  Not claiming will be signing up for the Wimbeldon soon, but we're having fun all the same. 2. Sharkies.  We sell these at my club, and I want to eat them all the time!! There so delicious!!  3.  We go to the local farmers' market every Saturday to pick up our LOCALLY grown fruits, vegtables, and meats.  They are wonderful! (and even

It's been so long since I've done one of these posts, that I thought I would give y'all a glimpse into what I'm rockin these days.  Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, silence has been pretty refreshing as of late, so the list isn't as long as usual. AND, I'm kinda sad to say there's nothing really cutting edge and/or new on this list.  BUT, good music all the same.  Would love to hear what some

This past weekend my brother, Caleb, got married.  Still crazy to me he's married, but couldn't be happier for the two of them!  Our weekend started in the wee hours of the morning Friday as Travis and I headed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  I had been to Pennsylvania before, but only to Philadelphia.  Turns out, we got to see A LOT Of Pennsylvania last weekend.  I think, besides getting married,

Sooooo, I decided to blog a bit.  There are many reasons for the lack of communication, but none really worth noting, nor do I really want to take the time to go through that list.  Let's just leave it at a long, much needed break. Lots of changes in my world.  Most everyone reading this is, no doubt, in the world of Facebook, so many may already know most of my changes. AND, if you haven't been

So, I came across this as I was going through my blogroll the other day.  It's from the Desiring God blog.  (You should check it out)  Really hit home for me, and wanted to share it.  Pray it's encouraging and leads you to the harder, sweeter path. Did you wake up not feeling like reading your Bible and praying? How many times today have you had to battle not feeling like doing things you know

Many of you know I’m, typically, one of the most open, real people you’ll meet.  I absolutely love honesty…just being up front and real with any and everything.  I think it’s essential in most all relationships.  I love the same quality in authors I read.  Donald Miller is one of those authors.  I know many of you have read Blue Like Jazz.  Some people love Miller, and some not so much.

Loving my new bed...loving even more the fact I'm in it right now. Super pumped I'll be in Prague in two months. Blessed by God's provision. Grateful for His Love.

That wonderful event we all look forward to, aka 10 year high school reunion, took place last weekend for me.  Are there even words to describe an event like that?  Really odd, awkward, but fun all at the same time.  Back in Januaryish myself and 2 other Lamar graduates sat down to start planning what our 10 year reunion would look like.  After some brainstorming we settled on a venue, planned

So, I was going through old papers, and found a bunch of my old vball stuff; workouts, inspirational articles, goals, etc. One of the things my coach in college had us do at the beginning of season was write down 100 things we liked and 100 things we didn't like. Everyone on the team would then get a copy of each persons' list, and we would, to some degree, get to know each teammate. Just a

It's sad to me to think how much I've been focusing inward, and completely lost sight of anything around me. I feel as though I've gone from one extreme to the other this past year of life. It's strange to me how fast things change. Well, I guess this wasn't necessarily a "fast" change for me. (Unless you consider a year fast?) But no matter how much you know or feel yourself changing, I'm

about balance?Last fall I started reading Contrarians Guide to Knowing God. Unfortunately, I put it down last fall, and forgot to pick it back up. Finally opened it up again, and decided to share some points that encouraged/challenged me. Towards the end of the book Osborne presents a chapter on balanced living. Since my life seems on all fronts painfully out of balance, I figured I was in

I heard this last Sunday in church, and it completely rocked me. You know when you walk into church, and get that feeling like He's sitting there waiting for you. And not to get all technical, yes I know He's always with me, but what I mean is like He has something a bit special in mind for you in that particular moment. Either way, I walked into worship last Sunday, and literally said to

It would be a way big understatement to say it's been awhile. My life's pretty much done a 180 in the last couple months, which has, fortunately or unfortunately, resulted in my inability to update this blog. Pretty sure whatever following I might of had has complete dissipated, but figured I'd update none the less. I haven't even had any sort of harassment from Ashlie! Maybe she even gave up

So, I'm kinda getting into this whole endurance racing/training stuff. I've done the marathon thing, have started swimming, and most recently have taken up outdoor cycling. Most of you know I have taught indoor cycling for some time now. I absolutely love it. One thing I did not love so much was the though of outdoor riding. Um, clipping into a bike going 20+ miles per hour? No thanks. Too

Where to even begin. God has blessed me exceedingly and abundantly more than I could have ever asked or imagined with Amanda and Michal Kashuba. Amanda has become more than a best friend, but an amazing sister in Christ. It's one of those rare friendships I believe few get to experience. I am blessed by her in countless ways, and can honestly say have never taken advantage of the gift she is

As of late, I've been feeling the lack and desperate need for Jesus in big ways. It's been quite a road the last 9 months or so. I wish I could say I've been full of faith, hope, and trust, BUT the truth of the matter is I've been clinging to the verse "faith as small as a mustard seed" to be more true than ever. No doubt I feel my faith has been tried, tested, and embarassingly small over the

I read this Psalm the other day, and it convicted me to the core! Kinda one of those hurt-so-good-moments...Lord, that I would remember it is you alone I am living and breathing for. May I recognize, and not take for granted, the grace you bestow on my life daily, even hourly. Please, let me embrace and not turn away the forgiveness you have bestowed on my life through Your very Son. Thank you.

I often have people ask me what I'm listening to, or want my suggestions for new stuff, so I thought I dedicate this blog to the artists I'm currently rockin. Here's a list of a few artist I think are worth your time...Rosi GolanCheck out the album The Drifter and he Gypsy. My fav tracks are I Don't Want to Wait, Hazy, and Been a Long Day.

I came across one of my old newsletters, and this one in particular really jumped out at me. I wrote this almost a year ago...which made me sad. Sad because it took little introspection to realize I'm still living in that sad shadow of a slave. I pray it would cause you to take a second and ask yourself," Am I living as the child He intended, or the slave?" Tim Keller has done a great study on

“Pray that I would have clarity,” he said. Mother Teresa replied firmly, “No, I will not do that. Clarity is the last thing you are clinging to and must let go of.” When the young man commented that she always seemed to have the clarity he longed for, she laughed. “I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray that you trust God.”What I often pray for others and

More than Africa needs me...I have had the privilege of partnering with a great organization called Mocha Club for a little while now. I first got to know this organization through a couple artist I love; Matt Wertz and Dave Barnes. Their thinking is that if you save the money you would spend on a couple of mochas ($7) a month, and use it to help people in Africa it can do one of the following

A variety of small shrubs with pink or white flowers which commonly grow in rocky areas.Have you ever really looked into the meaning of your name?

I think this might have been my favorite New Years ever. Yes, I had great company. Yes, I was surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Most importantly, what made this year the best ever was the fact I got to spend New Year's day skiing...all day. I didn't really take the time to look back and reflect until I got on the bus and headed home. I made sure to soak up as much of my

And my heart is most certainly found in the mountains of Colorado. There's just something so incredibly amazing about the endless trees, perfect white, and stillness of the mountains. My soul is at rest, my world is in perfect peace...I just freakin love it! (And I have to give the above pic credit to Mr. Mac.

So, I did it. I ran 26.2 miles. I didn't exactly get the time I wanted, but considering the conditions I'm learning to be content with the results. I heard the White Rock Marathon had a reputation for brutally cold weather, but this year brought ridiculously warm weather and 30-40 mph winds. And let me tell you, after 15 miles of running, 30 mph might as well be 100 mph. I am definitely an

I must admit I've found it a bit hard getting into the "Christmas spirit" when we're still having 70 degree days, but I am in Texas, what else should I expect?On to my favorites...First and foremost I want to make sure and state the amazing gift given to each of us that makes this time of year so incredibly personal and special: The birth of

Love the tradition of homerun derby in my family. Thanksgiving day we load up the bats, balls, and gloves and head out to the fields. This year we had 2 people join us that don't always participate. My mom and my brother's girlfriend, Kari. (Kari was kinda out their proving herself and passing a very big test to entering our family) The girls get to dominate the little league field (a 200

I had an amazing time in the Great White North. My number of Canadian friends continues to grow and grow, so I figured I'd make my way up to visit. Honestly, I was really just getting tired of hearing them tell me how much better Canada is than the US. I will admit it is quite gorgeous up there. Now, I only saw the western coast, but it was amazing. I have two good, good friends, Michael and

Here's a short excerpt from The Prodigal God. DEFINITELY recommend it. Tim Keller does a really great job of bringing you back to the simplicity of the Gospel. The parable known as the prodigal son is one most of us are familiar with, but in this last year God has been using it to challenge and open my eyes in such big ways. I never realized how much I missed from this one parable. There's

So, I got this post idea from a friend's blog, who got it from Matt Chandler's blog. (Just wanted to make sure and give credit where credit is due.) This particular topic hit me pretty hard because I have been convicted like crazy for the amount of time I put towards meaningless things. I have been less than dazzled by things in life as of late, mainly because I'm not putting forth the energy

Sorry guys! For those two or three that might actually still stop by, I have finally updated my blog! Getting the motivation to actually put anything up has been ridiculous. You know when it just seems like a "have to" instead of a "want to?" Well, either way, here's some posts that have been waiting to be finished for quite a while. Hope you're doing well!!

I have (mostly) stayed away from talking politics. I'm just not one who really gets caught up in political things that much. Now, I know some of you have strong opinions about our need to be incredibly active in government, and I respect that. On the other hand, I know there are some of you out there who are right with me, or even farther down the line in caring about politics. Whatever your

She has been nothing but an enormous blessing to not only me, but many around her. Since I've been back from Prague, she has been even more of an inspiration to me.

As of late, I've been reminded, in good and hard ways, that timing is, indeed, everything. I'm also reminded of the power of our words. Words can be like honey, soothing the hardest of days. They can also wound like the sharpest of knives. How easily we can forget...the power of words.Throughout the last 20 something years in life, I've come to realize there really aren't coincidences.

As some of you know I am on my journey of completing my first marathon. This Saturday I competed in my first half-marathon. I was definitely a bit nervous only because I had been sick the 3 weeks prior to the race, and had only ran the 6 days leading up to race day. I will admit to you that I could hardly finish an hour run that week leading up the race, so I feel my concerns were legit. I

So, I was shopping at one of my favorite stores (Target) yesterday, and thought I was going crazy. I've been pretty sick the last couple days, which means I've been on some serious medication. I thought that may have been the culpret. I was in the sunglass section (since my previous oh-so-cute-$5 glasses broke the day before), trying on some new $5 glasses, when I could have sworn I heard a

God says..."What if I tell them who they are? What if I take away any element of fear in condemnation, judgement, or rejection? What if I tell them I love them, will always love them? That I love them right now , no matter what they've done, as much as I love my only Son? That there's nothing they can do to make my love go away?What if I tell them there are no lists? What if I tell them I

So the age ol tension for myself and most women, and I'll go ahead and throw in a few men, of being "content" in our singleness has orbited around my world heavily for a few years now. If we aren't dating enough, we have the loving help and "encouragement" of those near and dear to get out "there" (wherever "there" is) and date. On the other hand, if we are some of the few that are fortunate

Most of you have probably heard the Josh Hamilton story. If not, take 5 minutes to hear it. Pretty awesome. (It takes the first 30 seconds before it starts going)Home Run Derby this year was insane! Practically cried when Hamilton didn't win it... I would post a clip, but can't really find a good one. Hope you got to see it!!

Yesterday in my quiet time I read a passage I've read a million times before, 1 Corinthians 13. The "love" passage can get a bit mundane for me, but I am grateful yesterday brought a renewed sense of introspection. The last couple years, God has really grown in me a greater understanding and more tangible knowing of what His love really is. Without going into the details of that, it's premise

I've been reminded lately how fleeting things on earth can be. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. The things in our life are not promised to stay. Hurt is definitely real. Sorrows will come. And loss is possible with anything gained. The only things that rise above these truths is God's love and our salvation in Him.For those in my life that are facing huge storms, and the flood waters are rising,

I am blessed to have two dear friends, the Kashubas. Michael and Amanda have supported, encouraged, and prayed for me in sooooo many ways, through so many things. I am truly blessed to have them, and I'm eternally grateful God brought them into my life. Amanda is so much more than a friend. I know not everyone is as fortunate to have the kind of friendship Amanda and I have, and I make sure

This last week brought the final days of waiting...Katie's wedding was finally here!!!! Katie is a close, dear friend that I have known since 7th grade. It seems that our relationship has grown the strongest in college and after when there were hundreds of miles separating us. Isn't it weird how that happens? I would go visit her at Clemson and when she moved to Charleston, and she came to

Alright, so I'm officially home...what a wonderful feeling!!! My time in Philly was really great. Met TONS of amazing people, and am excited to see what the Lord has in store. For those who may not know, let me give a brief recap on why I was there. I was in Philly going through something called A&O week (assessment and orientation). Basically, as the end of my time with Athletes in Action

One word can describe my flights back to the States...BRUTAL! The only redeeming qualities about my trip was getting to fly to London with my new friend Schanell, and the fact all my luggage made it safely. The 3 hour layover in London went by fairly quickly, but the 6 in Chicago...not so much. And I really don't love the Chicago airport. Let's just say I started traveling at 7:00am Prague

Just make it stop!! I feel as if the days are passing by at an unusually fast pace. Life is pretty insane in more ways than one right now. On top of the insanity, I'm not sleeping. No, not on purpose, I literally just can't sleep. I took drugs (Nyquil) a couple nights ago, but opted out lastnight, which was big fat mistake. It's like I have jetlag, but for no reason. I don't fall asleep til

This has taken waaaaaay too long, but wanted to send a special "Happy Mother's Day!!!" to an amazing mom...I'm sad I wasn't able to be with her on that special day to celebrate her, but she knows she is loved and cherished more than words can say! Thanks Mom for your support, encouragement, for drying my tears even millions of miles away, for the endless amount of prayers you've lifted up on my

I received some sad news today...My most favorite teacher of all times, and the reason I became a teacher, passed away last Wednesday. Mrs. Farnsworth was an AMAZING woman to say the least. She impacted her community, friends, and every little wide-eyed 1st grader that walked through her doors in ways that are too numerous to list. I can still remember the excitement I had walking in her class

Alright, so here's a few pics(I'll post more later) from Jacqueline and my trip to Budapest. I was delightfully surprised by how much I loved this city. Maybe my expectations were just really low, but I really did enjoy it, and would definitely suggest it to anyone who had the time. Jacqueline and I decided not to take advantage of public transportation, and instead took a wonderful stroll

Ok, so there's some history with this little song...it started in college, and I would play it over and over and over! I loved it. Well, my good friend Robyn and I have little pet names for each other. Just hearing it (or reading it in an email) makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...well, maybe not warm fuzzies, but definitely a big smile!!! I'm not going to share what those sweet little

Well, to say I've been doing a poor job of updating my blog would be a huge understatement! BUT, today is a day of sleeping in, staying in my pajamas til 3:00 in the afternoon, and catching up on life, blogs, and everything else I've been neglecting. Life is zooming by at rates I can hardly fathom, and I'm hoping to see signs of slowing. Don't you hate those time were you feel so completely

The last part of Heidi and Raven's trip was full of parties and fun. I had my good friend Jacqueline come in from Ostrava, said goodbye to 2 friends moving back to the other side of the world, and Dot had a birthday!!! Whew, so much going on!!! For Heidi and Raven's last night, we went to one of my favorite restaurants, Cowboys, enjoyed the amazing view for "dessert" at the UPrince, and loved

There really aren't words to describe our trip to Poland. Feelings and emotions were all over the place. From the time we picked up our rental car until the time we got home, there really wasn't a dull moment. After doing some research, and based on my last roadtrip experience, I suggested to Heidi and Raven that we rent a car and drive to Poland, and they both were definitely in. So, the

It's been fun for me to have many friends come over to visit during my time here, and the latest two are Heidi and Raven. Heidi and I were roommates before I came to Prague in Fort Worth, and was has been a huge part of my life. I met Raven through Heidi, and am learning on this trip she is a close kindred spirit. I'm excited to hangout with her when I get back to the States in June. BUT, as

So, I'm sick...it's going on day 4 with this wonderful stomach flu. I'm going to go ahead and choose the high road (aka the positive one) and thank God for this time of "rest." Not that every aspect (or even 50% of it) has been fun, but that it has brought me to His side. That in itself is worth it. It's in our weakness we find His strength, right? Absolutely. Being at home has given me

This past week I had the pleasure of having some good friends stay with me. Mike and Jacqueline are fellow North Americans (Canadians to be exact, but I still love em ;0) ) and just flew in last week from Canada. They actually live in Ostrava, a city a few hours from Prague where Mike plays for the Arrows professional baseball team. We always have a TON of fun, and much laughter when they're

Alright, a few disclaimers are necessary before proceeding with this blog. 1) I am from Texas. We don't really know what winter is. And snow...well, it's something we generally only see in pictures. 2) It is not uncommon to have plenty of sunshine and warmth by the end of February where I am from. 3) I am very focused when I'm running.Ok, so the story I'm about to share is pretty ridiculous.

Happy Valentine's Day!! So, I was feeling very domestic yesterday, and decided to bake. Here is one of the by-products. It was pretty delicious! For some reason, Valentine's is one of my favorite holidays. Not for the cheesy, romantic reasons, and to be honest, I don't really know why. I just love it. Maybe cause there's flowers and smiles everywhere...and people talking about love all day.

What a week!!! One of my best friends came in town to visit, got my short/long term visa stuff finally done, visited 4 countries, and turned 27! It was close to being one of my most favorite weeks ever! There's so much I want to tell you, but I'll spare you and TRY to give you the highlights...notice I said "try." ;0)So, Katie and I left Monday for Vienna. We left with a couple backpacks, a

Welp, the big 2-7 is here. I think I have officially crossed over into the "late" 20's. No longer can I claim to be with the rest of you mid 20er's. Although, Katie and I were discussing it, and I think I might be able to get away with mid to late 20's. What do you think? Either way, I'm 27. Where has time gone? I just got use to saying I was 26! Hopefully I'll catch on a bit faster this
