Okay - wow. I just announced my birthday! That is so unlike me - I used to get beyond annoyed in high school when this one girl in particular would walk around with a bag of candy and tell people, “You have to tell me ‘Happy Birthday’.” Then she would give them candy. I would [...]
For some major cuteness! Here are the rest of our Christmas photos thus far. Today is our final Christmas - just my parents, sister and brother-in-law. I’m hosting and for the first time doing a turkey and stuffing (I hosted Thanksgiving one year and bought the entire meal from Hy-Vee…). Wish me luck!
Heading to Grandma [...]
When we wrote our e-cards for Christmas this year (brilliant idea by the hubby - were it up to me and we had to send real cards, it just would not have gotten done), I wrote the first thing that came to my mind, that “trials and tribulations were many.” I have been thinking about [...]
‘Tis the season to give thanks right? So I’ll follow suit. I actually need to up the attitude just a bit, I believe it could be due to the fact that my daughter is sleeping past 6:00 for the first time in who knows how long - sleep deprivation without coffee (we’re out of the [...]
God works in amazing ways, through people who probably don’t even know it (this includes you lady - thank you). I am so grateful because I didn’t realize I even needed it. I received an email yesterday from a friend from college. Someone who although I knew had never connected with too much, purely because [...]
Where to begin? Where oh where? The past five weeks of my life have been life-changing. I hope it sustains. I have learned a lot, dealt with a lot, grown a lot. What’s crazy about all of this is that with everything I’ve been processing I have had the hardest time talking about it. I [...]
The past week and a half has been tough- not gonna lie. I exorcised some demons, either that or some demons exorcised me… not sure which one. But because this isn’t an anonymous blog it’s safer not to go into details.
Instead it’s time for some fun. What better way to do that than to show [...]
I stole a few minutes for myself this morning. I am not working (woo hoo!), I am not thinking about work (WOOO HOOO!!), I am not cleaning the kitchen, loading/unloading the dishwasher, putting clothes left randomly around in the dirty clothes backet… nope. I stole a few minutes for myself in deed, with my cup [...]
I truly do! When I wrote the post about Raymonn’s ex-girlfriend I was serious - she looked gorgeous. But I realize I got the man. She got a good man too. I can’t say for sure, but I believe we’re both happy with the roads life has led us down. I know I am. I [...]
I met her when we were three. Three. Can you imagine? I’ll be 28 this week. That is 25 years of friendship. And we’re still so young. It hasn’t been a straight 25 year best friendship, but we’ve both been there through it all. We grew up going to Sunday School together, we got in [...]
