Today I picked up a copy of People Magazine, with Chace Crawford on its cover. Chace is the new Kevin Bacon in the re-make of Footloose. Kevin Bacon played Jack Swigert in Apollo 13. I saw Apollo 13 exactly 14 years ago today. My friend, Mike, sat next to me at the theatre. 365 days [...]

July 3rd
Posted in Marriage on July 3, 2008 | 11 Comments »
July 3rd is always greeted with giddiness because Mike allows me to get all sappy and sweet on him without (much) protest. The week of July 4th marked the beginning of our relationship.
It was July 3, 1995, the night I was playing Cupid and wanted to fix him up with my friend, that he and [...]

Today I went back to Target (my car just drives there by itself) then my mom treated me to breakfast at The Corner Bakery. I’ve never eaten there for a meal and let me tell you, YUM! I had the bacon, egg, and cheddar sandwich on sourdough bread. It was delicious. Since I usually have [...]
Three Things To Make Mike Happy
Posted in Marriage on February 1, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Apparently, this is all it takes:
Oh, and one more thing.
The chance to make fun of his aging wife who needs these
By saying, “Hey, I set the font to a large-type so you wouldn’t need your bi-focals to read this passage in God’s Word”
He did what against the wall?
And Abigail got off of her what to [...]
Eleven Anniversaries

When Mike proposed in July our first thought was to have a Thanksgiving wedding. We were on a shoestring budget and couldn’t afford a fancy schmancy reception hall with a waiting list, so we pretty much had our pick of the schedule. All we needed was a church and a pastor.
I knew it [...]

Posted in Family, Marriage, Nov 2007: 30 Days of Thanks on November 23, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Tomorrow is Mike’s birthday and we celebrated early. We had to, there was no other choice.
Because for the past week, since Max and I went shopping for presents, this little boy has been bursting at the seams to tell Daddy what we got for him.
Bursting!
One night Mike and I were laughing over something about [...]

I saw that Holly over at Marathon Bird did a marriage/wedding meme and I’m feeling sentimental today so I thought I’d play along too. You should visit Holly’s blog and read her inspirational story about how she became a marathon runner just a few years ago.
I know this is so not classy, but I [...]
This Morning

I asked Mike if we could wake up in time to watch the sunrise this morning. I’ve said before that it’s the little things in life that mean the most to me; and this day was a perfect example. In my excitement, I tossed and turned all night and I woke up before [...]
A Notice:

Mike and I went out to dinner the other night at a really nice restaurant. We were generously given this dinner out by the elders at our church as a thank you for the years that Mike served on the board. He was a very young twenty-seven when he first was called an [...]
