There’s this blogger, Missy, who doesn’t know me from Adam, but in my mind we’re BFF’s. Yes, it’s a little Single White Female-ish, but when someone makes me laugh like she does–you HAVE to read her post about the Marriage Bed–and nod my head with that “Uh-HUH. AMEN!” thing when I read this post, then […]
Oi. I haven’t blogged lately. Our lives have been crammed full to max capacity, and will continue to be for at least 2 more weeks until we have our garage sale on June 10-11. Also? I have been kind of not wanting to process through the tornado in Joplin. About 10 years ago, I did […]
Each May our town has it’s special festival–almost every town has their thing, and ours is the third weekend in May. As part of the festivities, they bring one of those chintzy carnivals to the Target parking lot. You know the ones–rides that can fit on semi-trucks that last 22 seconds and cost $4 per […]
I’ve heard myself say this outloud several times in the last 6 years: I just didn’t know or appreciate how complicated this season of life is–when one starts a family. As a kid, even a young adult, I thought you have a plan and follow through with the plan. Find a guy, pick a month, […]
So here’s some pics of things that have been keeping us busy: Carson’s t-ball games. He got to play pitcher one night! He did not like the feeling of the long catcher’s gear between his legs. To reach a ball on the ground, he did a strange, awkward yoga pose. It was pretty humorous! Mom’s […]
This post is completely random. In fact, sidebar, several weeks back I was bestowed the wonderful honor of “Most Versatile Blogger” award (one of several–I won’t get cocky) by my friend Kristin. I was quite flattered, but never got around to returning the favor and choosing my own favorite versatile bloggers. But it did remind […]
I think I’ve subconsciously been avoiding blogging about the adoption, because there is nothing to report. No fundraisers, no paperwork completion, nothing but WAITING. Waiting for the last week in June. Our lives seem to run at breakneck speed (except in the afternoons on weekdays, when I feel like time stands still to drive me […]
Last fall, my friends Stephanie and Jenna told me, Becky and Sarah about a crazy, fun race they heard about called the Warrior Dash. It is technically a 5K “race” but this is no ordinary 5K. It is a crazy, muddy obstacle course. Where many participants wear wild and obnoxious wigs, hats or costumes. Steph […]
Just a warning, this post may contain some TMI, and not the fun “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” kind you might be expecting after a romantic weekend getaway. * The weekend started out wonderfully! We had a great first day, Trent booked a really neat Inn on the Oregon coast that I will totally recommend to […]
