Spring’s breaking. Or at least the school calendar says so even if the thermometer doesn’t yet. The sun seems to agree and has graced us with her presence all week long. I’ve been down on my hands and knees squinting at the dirt in my flower beds, and I see bits of green starting to [...]
Little Miss had unzipped her backpack to add one more thing for school the next day when the wailing began. “OH NO!! My bunny! His tail got caught in the zipper and now he has a big hole!” She held the hole-y bunny in one hand and the tail in the other as big tears [...]
Last Saturday my training buddy, Jen, and I ran our first double digits for the season – 10 miles. Because of the flu, I hadn’t run for a week, and I was a bit nervous. It hurt. But I did it. About mile 7 we were standing on a street corner waiting for our walk [...]
Last week T-Rex asked me to knit him a kitty. Because he LOVES kitties. And he only has one (stuffed). And Little Miss has two. And that’s not fair. It just so happened that I had a knitting book from the library and it had a (fairly) easy pattern for a kitty. Naturally. I showed [...]
Links for the entire series here! The surprises kept coming that day. I had contacted my dear old high school buddy Tony about possibly playing the piano for our ceremony, but he wasn’t going to be in town that weekend. The morning of the wedding, we were in for a surprise when word came in [...]
Miss some of the series? Get caught up here! *This is part 1 of the series finale – the wedding! I think there’s only one more post left! The day of our wedding dawned clear and sunny. We had a 2 p.m. wedding planned – strategically so we wouldn’t have to provide a meal! Ked [...]
I jumped out of bed at the first sound of my name at 3 a.m. I rushed through the hallway toward my four-year-old boy’s bedroom when I suddenly found myself lying on the floor gripping a throbbing shin. Someone had left a large wooden stool in the hallway, and I had tripped over it badly [...]
Miss a few? Get caught up here! Somehow I managed to focus on finishing the semester before heading home for a whirlwind couple months of wedding planning. I was never one of those girls who dreamt about my wedding day and cut out pictures and had all the details planned out years in advance. In [...]
Miss a few? Find links to all previous stories in the series here. We returned to college after spring break, excited to officially announce our engagement. Cornerstone University has had a long-standing tradition for celebrating engagements called the candlelight ceremony. We weren’t the only ones who got engaged over spring break, and we had to [...]
Missed a few? Get caught up here, with links all from one page now! The spring semester seemed to fly by, and as we approached spring break, I still didn’t have a ring on my finger. I was getting a bit nervous that I might walk down the aisle and still not have a diamond [...]
