50 Years and Counting
My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past May. While I know it hasn’t been a perfect marriage, I am proud they stuck through the hard times, learned to (and are still learning) to compromise, learned to (and are still learning) to communicate, and most of all they kept close to Jesus. A three-cord…

The Cone of Shame
Has your furry child ever had to endure the Cone of Shame? This is a first for Tigger, and to put it lightly… he’s NOT a fan. If you’ve seen Tigger in the last year or so, you might have seen the lump on his left hind leg. It started out really small and never…

Epic Fail?
I failed at retirement. I have come to the conclusion that retirement is harder than working. Well, I guess I only “kinda” retired, so I only “kinda” failed. Greg didn’t retire at all, so he is still working 8-10 hour days. It’s not fun being retired without him! I can only read so much without…

Tigger’s Beach Vacation
We already knew that Tigger was a huge fan of snow. Greg had him in Colorado when it was below zero and at least a foot of snow on the ground, and Tigger did not want to come inside. He was living up to his name and bouncing through the snow. As well, he’s never…

From the start, we knew…

We had our first visitor, Brayden, stay with us and took him to Disney to experience the magic for the first time for the last day of his visit in FL. We did two parks in one day and I think we gave him sensory overload. We started the day in Magic Kingdom so he…

Hot Vegas Weekend
I missed my little brother, Drew. He has lived and worked in Vegas for many years and I don’t see his as often as I used to. He has always come to family functions and even flew out to surprise me for my doctoral graduation! So, I booked a flight for Vegas just to see…

Perspective: Grateful
A few years ago, God had me go through a season of speaking out my gratefulness for anything and everything I was grateful for, on a daily basis. It was very therapeutic and something I strive to keep at the front of my mind. Aside from gratefulness, stating the thoughts out loud on purpose also…

Visiting the Littles
The plan was to go stay in Iowa by the kids for a few weeks, but since everything was pushed further back than anticipated, so did that stay. When I inquired with the campground we wanted to stay with up there, they close for non-full-timers October 15th. So, I made the decision to go up…
