No time for chit chat. I am in the nights of transitioning my child from my bed to the crib. I am sitting on the floor beside his crib in a dark nursery trying to remember the keyboard finger position my fifth grade computer lab teacher taught me. I don’t know who is going to [...]

It is 6:25 am. My child is actually sleeping, but for some reason I am not. It’s a cruel world… Life for me has changed drastically. Once upon a time, somewhere lost in yesteryear, I used to travel around to little churches in random cities, playing music and meeting people. And I would carelessly wander [...]

I’ll have to make this short. I’ve got a baby to take care of! Yes, it’s true. Last Wednesday, March 24th, we had our son, Joseph Paul Lombardi, Jr. Needless to say, he is absolutely perfect.
This time last week, I was cleaning my house incessantly in an instinct they call “nesting”. My mom had been [...]

I still have a baby in my belly if that’s what you were wondering. Hopefully I will have a different report next time I post. Today is the fifth Sunday of Lent and the third time our teens from Dirty Vagabond have undergone the “scrutinies”. They are the kids coming into the church on Easter [...]

So, yes…it has been a while. Let me just cut to the chase of what is going on here: I am 15 days away from my due date. That’s right. Sometime within the next two weeks (please, Jesus!) I will be birthing a child. I am too scatterbrained to say anything profound or clever about [...]

It’s October and right now in Steubenville it feels like December. Temperatures are in the 40’s and this morning I drank a cup of hot chocolate. These are the things you must do to survive the harsh cold of living in the north. Always keep it festive! Break out the Christmas movies even if you [...]

Well, not really, but I did go to my very first ever drive-in movie tonight with my very first ever and only husband!! I can’t believe we didn’t have one of these where I grew up and that it has taken me this long to have this experience. It may seem that I am getting [...]

Well, tomorrow is my two-week anniversary. I am a married woman!! The day was beautiful and perfect. But I am not writing about it yet. It takes me a while to gather my thoughts on things; which is why I am just now writing about something I have been turning over in my head for [...]

Go ahead and give yourself two points if you know that “Time Marches On” is the title of Tracy Lawrence song (as a hard-core country fan pointed out to me recently). Some kids were listening to New Kids on the Block or Michael Jackson, but I was in love with Randy Travis when I was [...]

So, I just did something really crazy called cancelling my facebook and myspace accounts. And let me tell you: those people do not want you to leave! When you cancel your facebook account, a page comes up with pictures of the friends you talk with the most and above their picture, it says “Mike will [...]
