Prompted by some mild peer pressure and the desire to keep long-distance friends updated, I have started this blog. With some trepidation, I might add. I am afraid I will start and then fail to post regularly enough for my avid blogging friends. I am also reluctant to post my random and uninspired thoughts "in print" (I still have a weird reverence for print, as if it should be closer to perfection than other media). Nevertheless, here it is.
I have called my blog Maplewood, because it's where I live. Within the last 2 months, my family (one husband, one 2-and-a-half year old son, and one 8-month-old fetus due August 11th) and I moved to our permanent home on Maplewood Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. Our "settlement process" is still in progress, with many unfinished tasks still on the list, and some things we have no idea how to do. Sounds a lot like my life. But here it is. So, I hope this blog will resemble the real stuff of my life, lovely and messy, filled by God's spirit while being in great need for more. Okay, I'll stop typing now. That's it for today.

The mysteries of blogging...I've messed up twice already. This is the final attempt. We're glad you're doing well and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of #2. We hope arrival is 8/12 as he/she would share a b-day with Ruby. Give a hug & kiss to #1 from Ruby!!! Miss you guys!
