I went to the gym tonight because I wanted to try to cancel out the dessert I already knew I wanted to eat… oh….like yesterday. Oh and because exercising is FUN! WHEE! (just a hint a sarcasm there) And I did pretty good. I ran a total of 10 minutes, in five two-minute stretches and…
Just One Year Ago
Today was the day last year that we found out we would be parents for the third time. We were a little surprised at the time but of course we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our sweet Katie is a joy and light that God knew we needed. And we thank Him for her…
A Proper Goodbye
For some reason I don’t feel like a gave a good enough nod to 2009 here on the blog, or even in my own mind. Here we are almost two weeks into the new year and I feel as if I still need to do so. When I think back on it I realize that…
Laughter That Makes Tea Come Out of Your Nose
As we approach the holidays I’ve been thinking about my family. And when I say “my family” I mean my parents and my brothers. The people I grew up with, the ones who raised me and that I was raised with. I cried like a child earlier at the preview episode of the show Find…
A Decade
Today, Friday November 6th 2009 marks mine and Tim’s 10th wedding anniversary. An entire decade of wedded bliss. Did I just say bliss? Okay, I know what y’all are thinking, certainly it hasn’t ALL been that fantastic. And of course you are right. Marriage is wonderful but it’s hard and challenging and even though I…
Yesterday’s Pie Made Today
My mother and father are here until Friday afternoon and have been a great help since the baby was born. They’ve been driving the boys to and from school and mom has been cooking, baking and doing laundry. As well as helping with Baby K. Yesterday as I passed through the always clean when mom…
Boys ‘N Belly
I’ve had the idea for a while that I wanted some professional ‘belly pics’ during this pregnancy. I’ve never had any done before and this time I wanted to do it, if possible. I had my photographer picked out (because she’s awesome and she’s photographed our family twice in the past) until……We moved. Once we…
Remembering the Last Time I Did This
Since we recently uprooted ourselves and moved to an entirely new town, I’ve been pondering memories of the only other time I made such a BIG move in my life. It was the week I left for college. Until then I lived in the same town and went to the same schools since Kindergarten. Just…
Where to Start… How ’bout the Beginning?
On Friday morning I woke up tired but totally stoked about the next couple of days to come. I’d only seen a handful of people the night before that I wanted to meet and I was ready to find more of my internet friends. The morning started with the intro to the conference from the…
Saying Goodbye to Our First House
Last night was our last night in this house as a family. When we bought this house The B Man was only 6 months old. We moved from a 1200 square foot two-story town home to over 2200 square feet on one level and we were in heaven. (hangin’ out in the room that would…
