It Was Wonderful…
I have a lot to say about our visit to Texas and celebrating my parents’ anniversary. I almost cried several times. Their party and their friends and family and all of their planning made it such a special occasion. But I can’t say it all now because I’m VERY tired from the trip and the…
So Much to Celebrate!
Today is my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary (big party tomorrow!) but it’s also my very best friend and most wonderful husband’s birthday! Like the title says… we’ve got so MUCH to celebrate. Anywho, he’s traveling today to be here to celebrate with us this weekend but of course his birthday is sort of taking a…
Right Here, Right Now
I’m usually a night-time poster. But here I am on Tuesday morning with stuff in my head and my kids awake and I’m posting. Little G is painting in water colors and baby K is scooting backwards across the floor, as she likes to do these days. I just almost started to cry because I…

A Much Anticipated Trip
So the hubs and I are droppin’ the kids off in Austin on Friday morning so we can spend a weekend by ourselves for a belated anniversary celebration. That’s right folks. FORTY-EIGHT hours of kid-free bliss time! Plus, we are taking his car with a GPS this time, so there should be NO disagreements about…
Elaine and Tim Sittin’ in a Tree…
Y’all know the rest, right? Nine years ago today Tim and I said our “I do’s.” Actually though, when I think about it, we never actually said “I do,” I don’t think. I do believe we said “I wills.” And we meant them. It was a beautiful 85 degree day in Texas and I am…
