I found this blog on my sister's site (Thebusynothings.com) and had to share!

It is our desire to advocate on behalf of these children who are often discarded, forgotten and pushed to the margins. Through this initiative, we hope to connect you with great works, individuals

I just love Christmas time! I think its the best holiday to invest in because it celebrates something truly special to me. Plus living in Florida it doesn't really feel like the traditional cold, wintry Christmas I grew up with. So I made it my goal to make it as home-like as I can! We finally got up all our decorations and I never want to take them down! Even though it isn't very "green" to

Just in case you haven't had a chance to see my husband's photography I just wanted to share. I've been going through them to see which ones I would like to print and frame in our house and I'm so moved by his vision. I love seeing the world through his lenses. I first have to share this one which was a birthday present to me. It is a picture of a beautiful white oak in Arkansas, in a field we

So as my previous post stated I am on a Bohemian journey to "rediscover" my fashion style. I've always collected random pieces of jewelry, long scarves, cool knits...and never fully realized that it was an actual style! My husband thinks its hilarious when I showed him my post because he just stated, "that's like Katy-style". Yep. There is a method to my madness! Bwahaha! So here's my first look

So I'm embracing my inner Bohemian-ness. It's true. I admit it. I've been confused. I've been all over the map fashion wise since I was young. My first fashion statement was Umbro's and matching t-shirts. I was half tom boy half poor pastor's kid--needless to say--I had a difficult time defining myself fashion-wise.  Here's an example:  But looking back I also saw I had a little Bohemian in

We forget that people in parts of the world cannot even put food on the table. The sex trafficking industry is alive and thriving, especially in the United States. According to Woman's Funding Network in an Article published "Enslaved in America" we must break the typical stereotype of what we think the sex industry is: "When we hear the words "sex trafficking," as Americans we immediately think

I can't say enough about my dad. I'm definitely what you'd call a "Daddy's Girl" but that always came by easy for me. I feel like a lot of who I am was either genetically passed down to me by my dad or grown in me, like a seed planted at an early age. My dad for one- is hilarious. He is hilarious in that uninhibited way- where he doesn't care if he looks silly or not. (Austin Honkey Tonk is all I

Now I know most of us will agree that we have the best mother in the world but I definitely think I was blessed with the best. My mother- maiden name Karen Otting grew up a middle child with out a middle name. My mom always wanted one so she gave herself one- Elizabeth, which is now my middle name. My mother- once a flower child and now a blooming empty nester, working hard in public relations.

Was 8 years old in my first passport photo. My family was traveling to Kharkov, Ukraine to start a student ministry group on the local campus with Student Mobilization.  I remember being elated that we were traveling overseas, seeing a new world.

Not to dampen anyone's Sunday but in light of Child Abuse Prevention Month in April, I think it is our duty to spread the word about the prevalence of child abuse in America. The story below is about the first reported incidence of child abuse in America, of a little girl named Mary Ellen Wilson. I found the story on American Humane website. The organization exists to help protect both animals

David and I were just sitting at the bar waiting for our dinner and David struck up a conversation with a guy and his mother. He told us he was on a date with his mom. As the evening progressed Keith revealed that he was actually a survivor of a kidnapping by a

David and I have recently watched this show on the BBC called "Blood, Sweat and Take Away" about the high price of cheap food such as human exploitation in third world countries. At first I wasn't sure if I could stomach the show, knowing the questionable things that are done not only to animals, but to humans. For any of you that have spent time in a third world country know what I speak of.

Normally at this time of year, Wilbraham Park in West Cape May, New Jersey is a pretty depressing place.  It’s still at the tail-end of winter there, so everything’s dark and dreary and generally not the most pleasant to look at.  Of course, when spring comes, everything will be green again, but until then someone known as the Midnight Knitter has taken it upon him or herself to knit scarves,

Well in the past two weeks so much has happened. My last day at Healthy Families was February 19th :( It was such an amazing experience and I have to say I've really enjoyed all my coworkers. It was really hard to say goodbye but I just can't say no to new opportunities that come my way. After the 19th I had a whole week of vacation before starting my new job at the Safe Children Coalition . So

If there's one accessory that I can say I like the most it would be the scarf. A beautiful flowing river of color and patterns accents any boring outfit. My father, who is a missions pastor, would travel all over the globe to visit various missionaries our church supports, and would always bring back a new scarf for my mom, sister and me. From India, Turkey, China and South America, all with

Today I was reflecting on this beautiful morning. The light of the morning streaming through the trees, spreading its warmth on the cold earth. I feel so inspired by nature's beauty everyday, feeling blessed to see God's creation before me. A song really ministered to me this morning that I wanted to share, the lyrics playing over and over "I surrender, all to you, Lord all to you". It was so

Whether this is true or not I like to think that I'm related to Dan Blocker, the character "Hoss" from the famous western show Bonanza. Hoss' character- the bigger than life, ten gallon cowboy hat wearing keeper of the justice was also incidentally my favorite as well. Every time we would watch the show my mother would chime in over our shoulders and say- there's your great Uncle Hoss! Of course

January 11, 2008 Two years ago I devoted myself in marriage to David. In the snowy mountains of Crested Butte we committed our lives in to one another. It was so serene. Just us and the pastor. I felt almost as if I was reading the ceremony from a book, not living it in real life. We flew in to Crested Butte, met with our pastor and the next day were married. I can't explain how happy I was. Even

I think I've finally reached a point in my life where I am content. Or at least I've decided I will choose to be content. Now this doesn't necessarily mean my life is where I want it to be or is perfect. My job is endlessly frustrating some days. I know each of us searches for a degree of contentment, our "God shaped hole" in each of us. I picture contentment as the feeling you get after a big

I'm so excited about 2010! Our church Bayside Community gave us such a great vision for the New Year. There are going to be so many changes in our lives I cannot wait to see what God has prepared for us. David and I have entered this year with open and willing hearts. My New Years Resolution is simply this- Psalm 37: 3 "Trust in the Lord and do good" My friend Marietta posted this idea on her

So this Christmas was Drew and I's first without our parents or family. David and I were thinking about going to Texas for Christmas to see his grandparents and mine. It was going to be a crazy trip- flying into Dallas, then getting picked up by my parents in Dallas, drive to Austin to see my aunt, then drive to Kerrville to see my grandparents, drive back to Austin and then fly out to home.

So I have to say I went into Thanksgiving weekend with some reservations. I'm always super emotional/nastalgic during Thanksgiving because we are some of the only people here without any family close. Last year for Thanksgiving David and I had an awesome time, but it was just the two of us. Was kind of hilarious because we made all the food and barely finished half of it...but still a good time.

"Everything" by Alanis Morissette So I've loved Alanis' music since her first woman empowering, man hating album Jagged Little Pill, singing at the top of my lungs to "You Oughta Know"...not knowing the true meaning behind her bitter words, just liking the feeling of being a tough woman! Picture a 14 year old screaming "well I'm here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away!!"

I thought I'd start a new series of household items that have changed the way I clean. I have two cats and two dogs and we constantly leave the windows open at our house because of the great weather- therefore- my house always has a film of dirt on the floor! I have two pets especially that shed chunks of fur. So yesterday David and I got a Hoover SteamVac and its amazing! We've only lived in

Looking out of my window at the palm trees and sunny bright sky I am so captured by the beauty of nature. I never thought I'd enjoy the beauty of Florida as much as I have. Of course the white sand beaches and blue green water is obviously beautiful but I always missed the mossy creeks of Arkansas. My dad and I used to go on hikes every month to the Buffalo River and one time we decided to

Well not actually, lovely little Barbie is still flouncing that perfect 34,28 (what are the other measurements?)body of hers around town but listen up, there's some new girls on the block. Anyways, I heard on NPR the other day that the provacative Bratz dolls are getting replaced by "Moxie" dolls after a lawsuit...from the makers of Barbie! That they are too similar to the Barbie prototype. *Gasp

So I don't know how many of you have seen the new Reebok commercial featuring woman's shoes to specifically tone a woman's butt. I think the commercial is so embarrassing. Once again we are objectifying women..classic. So I wrote Reebok's Customer Service an email:"HelloI just wanted to write you and say how dissapointed I am that your newest advertisement for a woman's shoe (specifically

So today I was reflecting how I feel that so many people in my life are "on the brink" of a major decision in life. To have kids, to move, to stay, to buy a house! David and I have been wrestling with the thought of moving for the last few months. We always knew that Florida wouldn't be our long term home, but we weren't sure how long. We're nearing the 2 year mark of Florida and I have to say I

David and I moved to lovely Glades Way in August. Its so different from our last place in that our last place was new, in a new area and a townhouse. Now this is an older house, with a big yard in an older part of town. So its actually the opposite! But it works for us. I can't wait for the day that we can buy a house, this one we're renting.Sorry, the quality of the pictures aren't great!

Ahhhh the sigh of relief I get on a Friday morning. I don't even mind getting up early! I'm pretty excited about the weekend because Saturday David and I are going kyaking with a local group at Philippi Estate Park! I've never been kyaking here in Florida and am excited to see how much it differs from lakes and streams. We're probably going to go ocean kyaking to see all the beautiful mangrove

As some of you know David and I ventured to Dallas, Texas to attend David's grandfather's funeral. When David first discovered his grandfather, his namesake, was sick he was completely devastated. It was so hard for him to be away from his family. He was able to fly out for five days to go spend with his grandmother, who requested him to be there. The funeral was a celebration of the rich life of

Remember growing up in Arkansas people? Or in a small, relatively unknown state? Remember growing up and watching movie after movie based out of L.A. or New York? Most of us probably know the layout of Central Park better than we do our own local parks! I always wanted to watch a movie and shout- "Hey I eat at that restaurant!" or "I live right above that store." But for the first time I've

OK so we're probably not the only ones but you sure would think so by the amount of Giants (puke) and Eagles (barf) fans here in Florida!! Mostly because a lot of New Yorkers have drifted down here for the warm weather. You would have laughed to see David and I in our Cowboys jerseys at Beef O Brady's surrounded by a sea of blue Giants jerseys. So, needless to say, unless we take our own posse

OK, to my like 4 blog followers I haven't been able to post any new blogs because David and I don't have cable or internet at the home! aaahhh yes, I know, its terrible! I feel I've gone back to the dark ages, pumping water from a well, gathering crops for dinner, I have no link to the outside world at home! Ok, so its not actually that bad but I seriously feel way behind on things. When I get

So David and I recently moved to a new house which we are really enjoying. Although the house is older, A/C a little figety we like having the privacy of a home. We've both always lived in townhouses or apartments so its been so fun cranking the tv up louder and letting our dogs bark a little longer because hey- we're in a house! Anyways, one drawback to our house is that while we have a great

Like the song goes from my mother's favorite movie, Sound of Music- when those darn dogs bite and freaking bee's sting, when I'm feeling sad from a long week, I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad:1. That God is available2. My husband laughs at my jokes3. My cat Patches loves me more than anyone (though sometimes that can be annoying)4. Hot fresh coffee in the morning

I'm sorry if all of my recent blog posts are depressing...ok maybe not all of them are but I have to be honest about this time in my life. I am exhausted emotionally. Its been a whirlwind of a month. So much has happened and I feel like I can't even keep up. I feel that if I can get out an ounce of what I'm feeling, even into the void, then thats one less ounce weighing on my heart. You know when

Since I'm fairly new to this married lifestyle and living in a home for more than six months like college I've been trying to find out my design style for our home. I strongly believe that the home should reflect both couple's style. I know everyone has their preference (or perhaps they have none) on the styling of their houses. I just don't think its fair for a man to live in a shabby chic pink

David and I constantly talk about news & politics...mostly about our distain for how popular media portrays those subjects. We laugh about how when you watch the news there's 3 negative news peices for every 1 positive news peice. I know the world isn't perfect, that there is suffering everywhere. But there is also good everywhere! There are wonderful things going on in the world daily, real

This has been a really difficult week for me this past week. Working with struggling families has been more challenging than I expected...not that I expected it would be easy, but I can't deny that its effected me. I've worked with struggling teenagers before at Piney Ridge, a rehabilitation center for teenage sex offenders, but never with mothers and their child. At Piney Ridge the kids were

No I'm not going to Disney World, even though its only 2 hours away and I've neeever been (hint hint husband...). But I wanted to share a weird story. So David and I have started attending a new church in Bradenton. We actually found it by googling "non demoninational churches" in the area! So the first time we went there we were blown away, by the music, lights, and all the people with smiles on

I can't go into much detail due to lagality issues but last week my supervisor and I decided to make a call to the Department of Children and Families on one of my families. The child had a health risk due to the mothers lack of understanding on feeding her infant. I know in my heart it was the right choice because I want this child to be healthy, mom was even told he was at risk for failure to

I think its been awhile since I've posted an update about my two puppies (now both 6 months old) Lily and Roman! They are so sweet and I am so glad that we got the both of them. Even though some days they are completely exhausting I couldn't do without either one of them. Lily is extrememly independent and thinks she is the head of the household.

I have to plug this product, I just bought it yesterday and used it on Lily and Patches and it was amazing! This product is freaking fantastic. Its a pet brush with some special type of sharp blades that takes away the undercoat. It almost looked like I was shaving my animals. It works really well with long & short haired animals.

Last night David and I had our friends Emily and Matt Murphy over for dinner because they are leaving Friday to move back home to Maine. They have lived here a year longer than us and finally got so homesick that they've decided to move home.

So I don't know if its part of life's maturity process but I just feel more and more annoyed with things. Maybe its just this week but I have to say small things have started to get on my nerves. Now this is strange because I consider myself a laid back person...most things don't even bother me. So why now in life? Here's a few things that I have been recently annoyed about...-Old people.

I have to say I love family time. I'm such a sucker for it. David's parents, David and Debbie came to visit us for this past week and it was so fun! I mean, they aren't like my parents who fall asleep as soon as the sun goes down, they were actually hard to keep up with! We went out to eat, made Mahi dinners, went to Ray's games, went to the beach, watched sunsets, went shopping, toured some

The title is, by the way, my nickname. I called in sick to work today because I have some serious cramps and nausea today from lovely miss come-once-a-month. I mean, I could barely get out of bed, I feel like I need a wheelchair bad. So I tough it out, take a shower, get dressed, go to work and then realize- OUCH I can't walk this hurts so bad. So I decide to hey with it I'm going back home. Call

I just have to say I really enjoyed my Memorial Day weekend. Besides sleeping for an entire day (and yes I really did that) I feltl like we made the most of our 3 day weekend. At first we attempted to plan a big beach BBQ with friends but were told by mr fancy pants weather man that we'd be under a tropical storm watch. Oh but when the weekend rolled around there wasn't a single drop of rain!

Watching tv this week I've been harassed as usual by a barrage of commercials and advertisements.(Luckily I have DVR for my favorite shows) Clothes, food, make up, furniture...CRAP basically. I am especially annoyed by all the commercials made for women. Are we really so easily influenced? Anyways I was flipping through the channels and saw a bit of the Entertainment channel that shamelessly

Wake up late, snooze the alarm 5 times.Skip shower, hope I can pull off day old hair.Let my puppies out which is basically like letting wild pigs out of a cage.Give them water bc I'm nice like that.The dogs drag me out the doors like raging bulls, Roman drinks too much water and pukes in the middle of the road...then tries to eat it.

Sweet, I'm going to try to publish this from my phone & see if it works! I think it would be easier to post things from my phone bc I never remember things long enough to write them! Anyways, I wanted to post these pictures of Roman, my American pit bull terrier. I still crack up when I see people on the street see him and cross to the other side or comment as they approach him, 'is he nice?'.

OK so a friend commented on my facebook page the other day that David looked like a guy on American Idol named Khris Allen. I never watch American Idol but was intrigued, and looked up some pictures of him. And I actually think they do look similar! In some pictures they look really similar but in others they look nothing the same. I think Kris Allen looks like David when he was younger. So I'll

As always, when I turn to my Christian music on my iPod I can help but be swept away by Enter the Worship Circle lyrics. Everytime I listen to them they bring this humility and brokenness to my heart. Its like open the arch of the covenant and letting the Holy Spirit wash over me. If you've never heard of them download the First through Third Circle. I yeild to the Holy Spirit when I hear it. Its

Ok ok I'll give in, I've never done this and snubbed being tagged but finally, after reading other's and how hilarious they are I will let you in on a little Katy randomness. 1. I like my name, Katy or Kathryn and I get super pissed when people misspell it. It makes me feel set apart from all the other "Katie's" who, to me, are common...Don't hate me fellow Katies... 2. I like beer, really any

So if you haven't heard David and I are getting two puppies in about two weeks! One is an American Pit Bull Terrier we named Roman. His mother was pregnant at a shelter and rescued by a kind lady. So we will be adopting Roman soon, he stays with his momma till he's 8 weeks old. (Oh and this has been David's dream dog) And then my dream dog- Ever since I was little and watched Disney's "Fox and

So as some of you already know, on our visit back to Arkansas David and I did a walk on campus to see if his name happened to be on the University of Arkansas' senior walk. We were half expecting to see it and then just happened upon it! Before we saw David's I went back to see my mother's between the student union and the library ( a pretty popular spot). So David was totally suprised to see his

So David and I are so happy that we had the opportunity to come to Arkansas for Christmas. It was so refreshing to be around people who know us...who are hilarious and make me tear up laughing. To be around my dad and hear his wisdom, to get one of my mom's famous hugs, to see Summit's new faces and how he's nearly walking, to appreciate my sister who goes to great lengths to make sure everyone's

So in celebration of living in a sub tropic environment David and I got a "Christmas palm" (its actual name) for our Christmas tree this year! Althought it made me miss the traditional Douglas Fir its also more "green" in that we can keep it after Christmas! And won't leave needles on the floor. So I was pretty excited about it. Problem is now that we have filled the pot with like 80 pounds of

So this weekend was insaaaane! David and I have been looking for a car for nearly 6 months. We just sold David's Jeep Cherokee last month (finally). I don't think I've told you all that story which is pretty funny. Trying to sell a 1990 Jeep Cherokee with over 200,000 miles on it is not an easy task. Plus people around here aren't really into off roading vehicles as much as back home. So we had

Wow wow wow. I can't say it enough, I cannot stop thinking of it, I cannot help but beam when I write it. Americans came together and what a landslide victory. I myself am an Obama supporter and I can say it is thrilling to vote in the first black president, to be a part of history. And its about time! America brags that its the leader of the free world and that we believe in freedom and

Exciting times! This weekend David and I went out on our friends Carlos and Sabrina's boat. It was my first time on a boat in the ocean!! Carlos took us, as well as our friends Craig and Rosie for a day of sun and fishing. The day was beautiful to begin with, we started fishing before sunrise. It was an amazing day, didn't catch anything fantastic, just some dog fish (i think that's the name).

...But you can't take the redneck out of the girl! When David snapped the photo of me and my gardening overalls with the pitchfork, it reminded me of my roots. Well we've finally been able to till up our plot. Sounds like an easy task but have you ever used a tiller?? Nearly impossible to control, especially in soil that is 90%sand! We put up the posts on our plot and then filled it with soil,

Ok, this is cheesy I know. And maybe because I'm a newly wed but I just can't help expressing my love for David! I mean, he's so thoughtful (took care of me while I was sick this weekend) caring, dedicated (woke up at 8am on Saturday, his only day to sleep in, to help on a work project with our community garden), funny ( here's a secret- he has different voices for when he speaks to our cats-

Foxmill Farm is a mission supported by our church. Foxmill is a working farm with an assortment of animals owned by Cindy and Eldon Miller. Some of the animals are previously abused that they have rescued. The Millers also have local teens come out, some with behavioral problems, to help rehab the animals. They've adopted several of the foster kids that have come to help there as well. They are

This weekend I started my new job at a local restaurant called Cantina Toscana as a server. Though I thought my days of waiting tables was over, alas, I cannot keep away. I think the restaurant is an especially unique experience. It is authentic, Tuscan inspired quisine. The staff is pretty small and it feels like a family. Plus, it gives me time to work with Gulf Gate during the week. So the

Here's a random recommendation to fill your home with Fall cheer! I recently bought a cinnamon broom from a local grocery store and it makes my home smell wonderful. It looks a bit cheesy, like it belongs in a cabin or something. But it might actually look cute next to a pumkin or something. My friend has one and she put it over her fireplace and it looks great. Unfortunately, I don't have one. I
