Lately, my days in Canada have been filled with yards (and yards and yards…leagues really…) of ribbon, assistance offered during the opening of countless gifts, meeting many new people, eating delicious foods, hanging out with some of the coolest girls I know, and watching every bridal movie known to man (or woman, rather.) It’s been […]
The One with the MIXER!
Friday was amazing. I’m not sure how much I can remember of it’s wonderfulness other than Kevin deciding to take me out to Kohl’s to buy my anniversary gift. Yes, you guessed it. A KitchenAid Stand Mixer–Artisan Series in Empire Red. Here, let me show you a picture. Just click on the last color swatch […]
The One with the Smattering
I’m busy. Busy packing for two weeks away from home…in two distinct climates…for two unique purposes. Saturday I will be picked up by my second family (correction: third family if you count the Eccles as second, but I kind of consider them my real family in addition to my blood family. But I digress.)–the Austins–are picking […]
The One with the Delay Due to Exhaustion
The weekend was fabulous. Fast. Filled. and Fabulous. Mom arrived around 4:30pm Friday after Kevin and I had spent a nice afternoon at home and we whisked her off with us to Kevin’s family’s house. We had a great dinner with them with good conversation and a perfect Mother’s Day/Birthday gift exchange. Both of the […]
The One with the Raindrops on…Dandilions
What a great week this has turned out to be. Despite all the nose blowing that has to happen for the first couple hours after waking up, I’m over this whole crappy illness thing. Yay for that. Oh, and side note. My favorite thing is happening–Sunshine while raining. Yay for sun. Anyways… I’ve had some […]
The One that’s All Better. Mostly.
Today was a complete turnaround from yesterday. (Well not completely. Just to clarify, the afternoon taking it easy with my husband was much needed. My body has thanked me for the time of rest by giving me a great “today”.) I woke up with a scratchy-barely-there voice thanks to sleeping all night with my […]
The One with a Rant of Sorts
I’m home. When I should be at church. *sigh* I hate having to decide to miss church. I have responsibilites. I have connections. I have peoples’ expectations. But I also have a 7 day flu or sinus infection or a combination of the two. Just when I think I’m back to normal, BAM! it knocks […]
The One with the Rainy Bread
Today is much improved. Besides the ceaseless rain and the inexplicable intestinal pains and a slight sore throat, I’m doing much better. Thanks for thoughts and prayers. Yesterday afternoon went well too as Kevin was home for much of it. :D Not only did he bring me home a McDonald’s hot fudge sundae (*squeal […]
The One with the Blah
Yesterday was fabulous. Today is…not so much. Yesterday was warm and sunny. Today is chilly and rainy. Yesterday I hung laundry out on the line, dusted & vacuumed, took a long wonderful walk with Amanda and her dog Libby (we’re planning many more lovely walks next week!), and spent the best evening with my husband […]
The One with a LOT
What a wonderful weekend! Friday I spent most of my day basking in the sunlight (and subsequently burning my skin). When Kevin arrived home, I was just pulling the homemade pizza from the oven. We enjoyed our dinner on our breezy back porch for the first time since moving here. How glorious! After that, we […]
