Perspective

As I was telling Bennett about how, years ago, before kids, it used to be just Daddy and me in our apartment and then in our house, he said, “I bet you were like, ‘I wish we had some kids right now!’” A minute later, as we were still discussing this childlessness phenomenon that [...]

10th Anniversary Recap

Bear with me as I chronicle our 10th anniversary.
Matt and I talked about gifts, and while he really wanted to buy me something expensive like diamond earrings (something I mentioned years ago would make a lovely 10th anniversary gift), I talked him out of it. I know, what girl tells her husband NOT to [...]

All Right, All Right

I won’t get rid of the wedding dress! Sheesh! I really anticipated that there would be more people out there who felt like I did, but you’re right…I should just tape the box back up and put it into storage. Since we aren’t Catholic, I highly doubt that it will be made [...]

You’ll Never Guess What I Just Did!

Clues:
*It involves an old, expensive article of clothing. In fact, I believe I only own two pieces of clothing that are older than this one. (and those should be blogged about sometime)
*This is something I’ve been thinking about for about two years now.
*When I bought it, I thought for sure I’d only ever [...]

My Thanks to Bennett…

…for practically writing this post for me yesterday while the two of us spent some time together. I know that this is probably funnier to me because 1) I was there to hear him say it in his cute voice and 2) he’s my kid, and things that your own kids do is always [...]

Heidi & Jeff’s Wedding Weekend Recap

Because it would take me a whole day to write about the story of the wedding weekend (and I’m already feeling so behind, since it’s already Tuesday afternoon), I’m going to mainly tell about it through pictures, which is more fun anyway. I’m always bummed after an event like this, though, because I start [...]

An Anniversary, of Sorts.

Since we’ve been married, the anniversary of our first date has been something that is generally acknowledged but not celebrated anymore with a date…however, today’s the day.
14 years ago, I went out on a date with the man I would marry 4 years later.
Loved you then, love you even more now. 27.
(To hear my [...]

Scrabble

In our house, this game is not for wusses. It’s all-out-war when Matt and I get the Scrabble game out!
We played again last night for the second time in the last couple of weeks. I LOVE this game. To give you a taste of how competitive we are:
• since college, we’ve been [...]

Some Thoughts on Marriage

Like millions of other Americans, I tuned in to the “Jon & Kate + 8″ season premiere on Monday night.  It’s a show that I’ve watched here and there over the last few years, but not one that I catch every week, nor do I care to.  I live in my own circus, thankyouverymuch.
And over [...]

Music for Monday Morning

Kelli, you can avert your eyes now hee hee. But you’ll be missing a great song!
I am LOVING the new (not brand-new, but still his newest release) Brad Paisley song “Then.” I’m very picky about country songs/artists and what I like – but this song makes the cut. Plus, I [...]
