Adventure awaits. Pulling into Gillbrook Farms on Saturday, Adam and I knew that’s what the day would hold. One, because Craig and Chelsea had put up a sign that told us so, and two, because they both have adventurous spirits. The barn was full of mementos from their lives: Suitcases stocked with Penguins and Eagles […]
Breyhel wore her grandmother’s necklace and all her girls surrounded her, a testament to the wonderful person and friend she is. Jake couldn’t keep his eyes off her either, an obvious sign that she was radiating beauty and happiness (it was pretty apparent to all). As Breyhel’s dad walked her down the aisle to Jake, […]

By the time Dan and Marie were finished with their engagement session, flour clung to the beam in the ceiling and we were slipping in it. But oh man, the results were good, and I’m not just talking about the pizza. This […]
A few raindrops fell lightly as Kutty and Chelsey smiled their way back down the aisle after a beautiful ceremony. Phew! They made it, and the skies only held well-wishes for the newlyweds.

No friends (minus their new co-workers), no family. No connections. How do you even start meeting people? Both decided to give online dating a […]
He walked through the doors of her office. She just happened to be manning the front desk that day. They exchanged smiles as Chelsea escorted Craig and his boss to her employer’s office. The intention for the visit was a tour and a meeting between the two organizations about how they could work together, but […]
He was the sports editor. She was a metro reporter. Their desks were just a few spaces apart at the office of Penn State’s student newspaper, The Daily Collegian. Naturally, that led to conversations, G-chats, and hanging out at office parties. Then, Kevin got up the nerve to ask Mandy to watch “V for Vendetta” […]
Purpose. Something we all seek, and something we all wrestle with at one time or another (or many times) in our lives. Something God-given and worth protecting. Position.
