When I grow up, I want to---
Wait a sec.
I'm already in my late
twenties. I guess – technically – that means I'm already grown
up. Where did the time go?
(Shucks...start over...)

| Here we are :) |
Ok! Maybe I'll start with
the present. I'm Crista – wife and mommy, novice cook, wannabe
quilter, writer suffering from writer's block, green-thumbed
gardener, and tea-drinking coffee-lover. I love babies, labradors,
books, all things Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, CS Lewis, and JRR
Tolkien, and yes, I definitely love cookies. Most importantly,
though, I am a Christian. God gives me grace for the present hour and
hope for the future, and I am His child.
I have a wonderful husband
and a precious, happy, busy little 16-month son. We live in Lancaster
County, PA, surrounded by friendly Amish and waaaaay too much sugar
and white flour. (That's a problem if you have a sweet tooth, which I
do.) We live in a quadplex rental property out in the country, but we
have great landlords who let us garden and keep chickens in the yard.
Our dream is to have a large family and live out in the country where
we can live off the land. We'll see what happens. :) I've also always
been interested in writing for children, though I struggle with
perfectionism in that area and am rarely able to finish any of my
writing projects!
I started this blog for a
number of reasons – to record moments I want to share with those I
love, chat with friends and family, meet new like-minded people, get
something down on "paper" when I'm struggling with writer's
block, journal my creative projects, and hopefully just have fun. I
hope you have fun reading my blog, too, and I'd love to hear from
you!
It's time to wrap up this
post. See you soon. :)
