Snow Day and Brothers
We woke up to about three or four inches of snow this morning - in Nashville, TN. It’s March 8th already… another two weeks and we’ll be into spring. Global warming, my butt.
Admittedly, it was fun to play in the snow. Johnny, Davy, Marianna, Carrie, and I went out for about an hour or so and […]

Peter and His Crush
Talks at the Codington dinner table always promise to be memorable. All nine of us were sitting around the table as usual tonight… cracking jokes and repeating funny lines from favorite movies. At one point, Johnny (14 years old) busted out with “Kissing’s my favorite food!” in a high-pitched voice (from the musical Oklahoma, for […]

Contentment
It’s been a month as of this morning that I’ve been sick… three weeks of which I haven’t been able to talk or sing. It’s been a struggle for me to be at peace with where God has me… It’s been a hard time for me as far as searching where God is leading me in […]

David Codington
My little brother, Davy wrote a poem about springtime… He gave me permission to share it with you.
“In the Spring” by David Aiken Codington, 8 years old
In the spring
We have fun in the sun,
And showers bring flowers,
And the leaves grow on the trees.
When we play hide and seek
We hide under the slide.
We talk on our […]

Weekend of Being Home
It feels so good to be home… it’s amazing. Two of my friends from school came back with me to meet my family - the drive down was a ton of fun. I drove and we listened to some amazing music - Keane, OneRepublic, Goo Goo Dolls, Shane and Shane, Rascal Flatts, Shawn MacDonald, and […]

One Day Left
The problem set is done… my granddad is awesome. Not only did he previously teach Calculus at Covenant for the last 15 years (around there), he also lives three minutes away from the college. I went over to their house this morning with Bets and he helped me with a lot of the problems I […]

Christmas and Summer Plans
Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive and well. This is the first real opportunity I have had to sit down and write anything since being home. Our computer is old and slow… it takes a while to do anything.
It’s been good to be home back in Franklin, TN. I’ve been working at Panera […]

Venison
There is nothing like preparing some fresh venison with mesquite marinade and adding in a few chopped up onions and garlic cloves. Not to mention doing all of the above while smelling fresh pumpkin and chocolate-pecan pies coming out of the oven.
I love Thanksgiving…

Home Again
I’m home again in Franklin. We got home late yesterday evening. It’s been good to be home with my family… I went to bed around 9:30 last night - first time in a long time that it’s been that early. And yes, I definitely took a nap this afternoon.
I’m excited about Thanksgiving tomorrow. My brother […]

The Man
Sometimes I brag about my brother a little too much… sometimes not enough. My one and only older brother is named Wilhelmus Schaffers Codington. He’s always been called Wim for short. He was born in Knoxville, TN on September 26, 1982. There is a lot I could tell you about my brother… but I also […]
