A few weeks ago, my brother texted me and said, “Why don’t you update your blog anymore?” 
I’ve been meaning to, but it seems like blogging gets pushed to the very bottom of my to-do list anymore ((beneath chores, working-out, church stuff, sewing, editing photos, playing Super Mario Wii with Funnel, etc.))   Sometimes life just gets in [...]

Jon Immel is my big brother.
and he has a new blog.
you should check it out.

It’s been exactly a month since my last post, thanks to some issues with lovelettertypewriter.

Please read part 1, part 2 and part 3 first.  Thank you.

As I was getting ready for bed, I couldn’t shake the weird feeling of knowing an unwelcome person had been in our apartment earlier that day.
I decided we must do what I always did back when [...]

I called our apartment office. Drat. No one’s there. They’ve closed for the day. At the end of the answering machine message, it gave a number for the emergency on-duty night manager. Is this an emergency? Screw it. It definitely is.

I love a good mystery to solve, especially if it’s a true story. What you are about to read is a true mystery that involves me, my husband, a vacuum and an intruder. I will publish this story in several parts, for extra suspense.
