To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure: National History Day and the Juggling Student
http://laurelcrown.blogspot.com/2012/03/national-history-day-and-juggling.html
To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Thursday, March 1, 2012. National History Day and the Juggling Student. Is a high school student juggling three volleyballs in a history classroom news? In Canton, South Dakota, it just might be. One of the wonders of my job is also its curse: quirky subject matter. When you’re a journalist in a town of 3,000, story ideas sometimes require some creativity. And sometimes people surprise you. 8220;Can I be in it? 8221; asked the random student behind me. 8220;Well...

To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Wednesday, August 10, 2011. What a Sweet Old Mannnn.Nope. What started as a routine trip to the grocery store for cheese, crackers and fudge sticks Tuesday evening quickly turned into the stuff of legend for my friend Elizabeth and myself. Preparing for a visit to an friend’s apartment, we decided to drop in on our local grocery store to try and scrounge up some culinary compliments to Wood Chuck Cider and other such libations. 8221; she asked excitedly. Standin...

To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Sunday, July 22, 2012. This Is The Life. This is the life.". Says Sam, sitting in the passenger seat of a 2011 Chevy Impala loaner with a biscuit breakfast sandwich from Burger King in his lap and silly grin on his face. It was the picture of ultimate contentment. Sam has a way of reminding me what that looks like. The drive home only got better. With the Word of the Lord in our hearts, Burger King sounded good for our stomachs. Does it get any better? Being eas...

To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Sunday, April 1, 2012. The Greatest Adventure, Is What Lies Ahead. Our internet is so slow that I have been involuntarily resigned from every single game of Words With Friends because I cannot load it! I have never resigned from a word game in my life! Ok, in other news, I start a new job tomorrow! A happy place, indeed. Do you know anyone who's exactly like you who's looking for a job? Two days later, I decided to apply. I sent in the application on a Thurs...

http://laurelcrown.blogspot.com/2012/02/another-year.html
To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. A few things have happened since my last blogging encounter, for example: a new year, I'm 24, the Packers aren't in the Super Bowl and I made my karoake debut! Everything inbetween is a rainbow-colored blur. Perhaps if I didn't wait so long between posts. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. These are a few of my favorite things. Give me the great outdoors, a pen and paper and a camera. H...

To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure: Dordt Senior Shows Preview
http://laurelcrown.blogspot.com/2010/04/dordt-senior-shows-preview.html
To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Wednesday, April 28, 2010. Dordt Senior Shows Preview. Story that I wrote for Dordt's school newspaper:. What does a woman trapped in the social conventions of the 1920s and a man searching for his slain father’s sword in Edo, Japan have in common? Roos’s “Machinal,” an expressionist play, follows the journey of a woman in the 1920s forced into situations dictated by convention. Written by a woman and based on a true story, Roos was drawn t...Eggebeen’s pl...

To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Monday, December 5, 2011. Welcome to this week's edition of "Adventures in Omaha," where you will learn how to open a bottle of wine without a cork screw, navigate un-plowed, snow-covered backstreets of Omaha without a GPS, at night, and how to turn wine, orange juice and dinner leftovers into the breakfast of champions. Once you've survived the weather, and the drive, you're going to want to find lodgings. Preferably somewhere not. Stop in at a local supermarke...

To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure: October 2011
http://laurelcrown.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Tuesday, October 18, 2011. The Power of Fredbird. This week is pretty special to me, for two reasons: the first (and more trivial) being that the St. Louis Cardinals are in the World Series. Anyone who’s been following the postseason, or perhaps more significantly, the regular season, knows it's more a Cinderella story than Cinderella. Sports gives me a happy memory everytime I see Fredbird (the Cardinals' mascot), watch SportsCenter or even pick up a football&#...

To Live Would Be An Awfully Big Adventure. Friday, July 29, 2011. 8220;Let’s pause from this period of intellectual enjoyment and take a moment to ponder the meaning of friendship.”. We’re in heaven. The calm night sky pours in through the windows, most of the family is filtering into bed, and Amanda and I have the run of the kitchen to discuss literature to our hearts’ content as we wait for our Turkish Delight to settle (yes, we made Turkish Delight). Why are you friends with your friends, we asked....
