One Year of Home Ownership

Posted on September 9, 2018September 9, 2018by lizwritesthis

One year ago, I made the crazy, but fun, decision to buy my own home. I have always (and still) love to look at homes online. I’d been watching local homes for a few years while preparing myself to take the plunge and dive in to selling my soul to a mortgage company. As many […]

A Call Twelve Years Ago

Posted on August 19, 2018August 19, 2018by lizwritesthis

Sometime life just hits with you with feelings. Like lessons in Church on preparing missionaries to serve. And two sisters leaving on their missions in my ward. And another whose call just came. And a gal I babysat getting home and another who just got her call and another who is serving with so much […]

Singing to the Messiah

Posted on March 26, 2018March 26, 2018by lizwritesthis

Last night, I sang many of the chorus songs in George Frideric Handel’s Messiah. We have likely all heard the “Hallelujah” chorus, and I hope we have felt the exultant joy of “For Unto Us a Child is Born.” I, too, had heard the well-known pieces and loved them for a long time. But the entirety […]

Did you know I’m into family history? Ok, so you’re not surprised that I take several days off work each year to go to a huge genealogical conference in Salt Lake City called RootsTech. It was held last week, February 28-March 3. Some people ask me why I keep going because they think I’m good […]

When I bought my home last September, I thought to myself, “Self, wouldn’t it be fun to do a blog once a month about the things I’m learning about home ownership?” Then it was six months later. So then I said to myself, “Self, what if we just did a blog, like, one time and […]

Tri 3 (September-December) 2017 Books in Review

Posted on January 20, 2018January 20, 2018by lizwritesthis

I feel like every time I write my book review blog, I have to make some excuse (largely to myself) about why I didn’t read more. Two reasons. Winter didn’t really come until today, so I had no reason to cuddle up by the gas fireplace (that I won’t light because I’m afraid of it […]
