He comes into the kitchen in his dress pants and button down shirt, clean and fresh, ready for a day of work and meetings and things I can only grasp a little. I hand him a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon and ask, “Do you want a coffee?” I smile at how handsome he…
15 Years and 2 Weeks
Tim and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary two weeks ago, on November 6th. I honored it in part, by being on the internet less that week, so this post is a tad belated. However, I still wanted to put these words out into the universe, in my space here. I love you, so much,…
Keeping The Spark Alive…
This guy has been off adventuring in Alaska. I mean, WOW, that’s a big fish right? (it’s a Halibut, by the way so go ahead, try to make your own, just for the “halibut” pun… I’ll wait…) I (and the kids and the puppy) have missed him A LOT. I am SO glad…
Reality Bites
Do you remember that movie? It was a classic 90’s movie, complete with Winona Ryder. Also, it came out 20 years ago. Let the feeling-old feelings commence. Reality does kind of bite right now though, mostly because of this. And just a little because Tim and I recently returned to reality, after an amazing time…
Be Mine
“I miss you… will you be my Valentine?” Tim sent me these words on Wednesday of this week, via text, as he waited in an airport far away to board a plane and come home to me, to us. I am not completely sure what about them made me begin to cry almost instantly after…
Valentine’s Old School Blogging!
This month Tamara and I decided to go with the Love/Valentine’s theme for Old School Blogging. We came up with the questions together but I have to give her full credit for the “Say Anything” one below, which I think is so great! Tamara is a newer blog friend and I am SO glad I…
Back in the Dating Game
A few weeks ago I was coming out of the gym and thinking about my husband for some reason. I realized there was a perfectly good Saturday night open on our calendar for us to have a date night. So I sent a text to our regular babysitter to see if she was available. She…
Feeling Better in my Bathing Suit & Weekend Fun!
I sat by the pool watching a family. They had one little girl, probably about 18 months old and two older boys in their teens. The mother doted on the adorable baby as she splashed about and she must have asked her to say “cheese” a thousand times in one minute as she put her…
Living Up To My Name
As I post a few bits of random-ness, I pretty much feel like this… I am 4-5 episodes behind on the few shows I still watch on television. But apparently really do not watch anymore. I crack myself up. I was thinking about catching up on at least one installment of Revenge so I’ll be quick…
It’s All Good
We ventured out to our little, local zoo today for some Easter-y fun. They host an event with a cute little egg hunt and photos with the Easter Bunny and music, etc. Essentially the kids help pick up recycled eggs and then trade them in for chocolate. It’s a pretty good system, actually. We rode…
