I ended my last post with looking back on my brother's wedding ceremony a month ago (to get caught up see: The Wedding). After the ceremony we left the Moseng house and headed to the Sons of Norway downtown Poulsbo. Luke and I carpooled with my in-laws and arrived quickly after most of the bridal party.…
Our First Vacation
We moved to Corning New York the week of Thanksgiving and since then we've stayed here. So it has been almost 6 months since we have seen any of our family face-to-face. But we are very excited that today we are headed back home! My brother is graduating for college (yay!). Fortunately my brother's college is less…
A story definition of self-judgement
A few weeks ago I had one of those days that sent me into a stressed, frustrated fit. Luke and I had taken time to relax most of the weekend and now it was time to get some business done. Unfortunately nothing seemed to go right. We both had our independent “tasks” to accomplish. But…
Becoming Mrs. ______________
It is interesting, in American culture, once a woman becomes engaged it is all about preparing for a wedding. It is only after you get married the government asks: “are you sure? . . . is this relationship worth the red-tape?”. I don't question the decision to get married. But the weight of what I consider…

If someone begins to list more than 3 steps or ingredients to me-my hands start itching to find pen and paper (just ask my parents or previous roommates). Luke…
I miss my old life
I miss my old life . . . but l enjoy my new one It’s funny what you think you’ll miss versus what you actually do. When I was eighteen away at college I missed my friends, my house, and my parents. But this is a whole different type of homesickness. I miss my old…
Part 3 update: Life in 2012
So here is the last part to my three-year update -I discovered my 4-year issue with dermatitis was an undiagnosed allergy to barley and began the journey to eliminate it from my diet, making me almost gluten free - Luke and I resigned in May as leaders of the college group ministry we led at…
A lesson in Independence
I was anxious already about this past Wednesday, had trouble sleeping, I wasn’t looking forward to venturing out in the single digit temperature cold. I hated Luke’s work alarm as it went off and I put on my long johns under my jeans for the first day this winter. Today I would take the initiative…
