I’ll admit that I’m not the best pregnant lady out there. My poor husband! I figure, since he’s half the reason for my condition, I should be allowed to complain to him about whatever’s ailing me…
This pregnancy has been a plethora of symptoms, one right after another, but often overlapping. I realized the other day [...]

My dreamy husband Nate and I were made for each other. While one of is smart, the other is smarter… When one of us is goofy, the other is goofier.
We were just discussing the idea of taking up the carpet in our living room due to the discovery of Brady’s allergy to dust mites. (The [...]

Saturday was Valentine’s Day… and this year, Nate and I actually got to go on a date! Nana was visiting, so she watched the crew while Nate and I went to our church’s Valentine Banquet. It was great fun!
We don’t generally exchange gifts on days like this. I’m much too practical. I always think of [...]

To the best man on earth… Even if you do have your heads in the clouds most of the time, I still love you oodles. Happy 31st, Handsome.

Things have been chaotic around here… well, more than usual.
My handsome husband celebrates the big 3-1 Wednesday, so we had a pseudo surprise party for him yesterday. Our two oldest boys, Andy and Brady got baptized at church yesterday, too. It was definitely a special day.
To prepare for company, I spent much of [...]

If you asked me again, I’d probably still say something incredibly dumb like “You’re soooo kidding me!” first, but my answer would still be “Yes!” eventually. It always has been.
Happy Anniversary, Baby.  You’re the best and you’re still my hero. We’ve come a long way, Baby, even since last year. I love you… bunches and [...]

One Bible passage that I’ve always found very interesting is Proverbs chapter 6. In it, God reveals the “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him” (verse 16).
The list is specific and thought provoking. The last part of the list, though, says the thing that is an abomination unto [...]

I usually avoid filling my blog with memes – just because I have enough content with my wacky kids – but today I decided to do one. I read this one over at Barbara’s and it made me smile. Why? Because it’s about one of my favorite subjects: my crazy husband.
Since Nate rarely comments on [...]

Here’s reason #515I love my husband: He’s just plain funny.
Tonight during our spaghetti dinner, I asked each of the boys what sport they’d like to compete in for USA in the Olympics. (We can dream big, can’t we? They’re only 2, 4 and 5.)  They each gave me several answers and changed their minds a [...]

Ever think back to events in your life and know God used them to prepare you for where you are today?
I know, without a doubt, that He did that for me.
In college, the only work study job I could find as a freshman was to work at an outside after-school program that helped elementary school [...]
