Happy Birthday K
When I married K I can honestly say that I didn’t fully understand what I was getting into. I was naive, thinking that love was enough and was all we needed. Love is insanely important, and we definitely wouldn’t be where we are today without it, but we’ve learned that marriage is about so much […]
One Down, Many to Go
One year ago this past weekend we moved into our house, and brought home our 4 puppies. I remember how long a school year seemed when I was younger, and how time would just drag, and now a year has gone by faster than I ever imagined, and I just wish I could slow it […]
Looking Back
It’s only been one month since I started my new job, and since making the decision to choose my marriage. In just one short month there have been soooo many changes for us, and things are better than I’d ever imagined. Our marriage was already improving, but with my new job K (the husband) was able […]
What if You Fly?
In the movie “The Blind Side” the main character, Michael, has a learning disorder, where he has a nearly impossible time learning from words on paper.

Changes
This past year we’ve been through so many changes – leaving our apartment and moving in with my parents, then buying a house, 4 puppies, a layoff, new jobs for K, tons of home repairs, car troubles, everything. We’ve been through more than we ever imagined in one year, all while barely getting by. But, […]
4 Years
Today marks four years of being married to this guy. I can’t even believe it. The first year of our marriage I’d wake up in the mornings, still amazed that this was real life, and we were married. I’d giggle and hug him, relieved that he didn’t have to go home at night anymore. It’s been […]
Laugh More
I’ve never been one to do new year resolutions, but I was never one to do a lot of things that I do now. It’s weird how many things change as you get older, and how you catch yourself doing things you used to laugh at others for doing, like resolutions. K (the husband) and […]
