okeedoke. so…APPARENTLY…going out and acting as if i have been playing soccer over the last 24 years was a bit of a mistake. oh…i went out…guns a-blazzin..and played full throttle, alright. this is the before: and this is the after. i went full throttle alright! i didn’t even feel it happen. i came home…all jazzed […]
okay…first i’d like to admit that i have only completed a small portion of this morning’s chores. and it’s already 9:30. that means half of the sesame street power hour is over; i still have bathroom counters to wipe down; trout and george bailey to brush; the beds to make; and the swing chore…wiping all […]
it’s that mixture of sadness and happiness that keeps me on my toes. if you didn’t have sadness…you wouldn’t truly know happiness. except if you think about how God intended it to be…before the fall of man…i’m sure we were all supposed to be laughing and joyful and stuff all the time, and it sure […]
welp…as if the universe just haaaaaaaad to swoop in and crap poop all over my daisys… last night, after our dinner outdoors, we strolled down the driveway to pay a visit to our across-the-street-neighbors and i stopped to check on my morning doves. right away i noticed that mama dove wasn’t perched in her usual […]

i woke up to an empty house this morning, after it had been filled with activity, love and laughter for the last 2 weeks. chad’s mama had been here from iowa for the last two weeks and his sister, brother-in-law, and our nieces and nephew had been here for the last week. there is always […]
…just because i love the boy.
it’s no secret that i think that HOOSIERS is one of the best movies i’ve ever seen. it’s my favorite, for sure. and it’s on track to being colton’s favorite too. it is great for many reasons…but one of the things that i especially love is how the main character gives shooter…a man who is […]
so, spring break is here. however…it’s not feeling very spring-y. non-springy example number one is that aiden and annslee went to bed tonight in their matching hot cocoa jammies instead of their sweet, cotton gowns. it was…and still is…rainy and cold. it was the perfect night to bake homemade lemon bars with grandma sue. and i […]
