I am keeping a separate blog for my time in Alaska.  It is located here.  I’m hoping to write every day but I will only be able to get on-line and post the entries a few times.  But check in when you can, I’m sure there will be some fun stories! On a side note, [...]

This will be, most likely, my last posting for a few weeks.  We leave for vacation tomorrow morning.  If I failed to mention it before, we are spending 10 days in Alaska with Tim’s family.  I’m looking forward to getting a way for a little while, but am a little nervous about traveling with Abbi.  [...]

If you read my last entry (the one I just posted merely minutes ago), you would notice that I ended by saying there was justice in this world.  I would like to recant that statement.  There is no justice when it comes to me and computers.  The laptop gods have shit on me! My husband [...]

A dark cloud has found it’s way over our house!  My computer (Apple PowerBook G4) has taken a turn for the worse.  She started acting a little sick the other day but I thought it may have been one of those 24 hour bugs.  Not the case! Last week, when I would open my computer, [...]

Happy Father’s day to all of you fathers, grandfathers, and soon-to-be fathers!  This is Tim’s first official Father’s Day!    Above is a picture from the day Tim became a daddy!  I just love the look on Abbi’s face — “Daddy, I’m so glad to see you, it has been a rough day!”  And even [...]

Today is our fourth wedding anniversary.  To celebrate we (plus Abbi) went out to dinner at a new restaurant — The Boatwerks — with our friends Tara and Scott.  Yummy food and great friends.  The best part of the ol’ anniversary: my husband got me a gift.  A spectacular gift certificate to my favorite spa [...]

There are moments in life that you just know you will never forget.  Those memories you reflect back on when you’re feeling lonely or sad, when you’re feeling a bit nostalgic, or that are triggered by a sound or smell.  For a lot of people, those moments come when you get married or welcome your [...]

I’m up-north right now at my grandparents’ place.  They hadn’t yet seen Abbi so I thought I would bring her up for them to meet.  My parents were also coming up to help my grandma get her stuff ready for the City-Wide Garage Sale.  Yup, that’s right…City Wide Garage Sale.  Just another little quirk of [...]

Trust is such an interesting thing.  There are times that we have no choice than to trust someone.  Abbi has no choice but to trust that I will feed her when she is hungry, change her when she is wet, and make sure she is safe.  Then, there are times that we must choose to [...]

Have you ever thought about what your dream job would be?  If you could do anything in the world, what would you want to do? I have lots of things that I think would be fun to do:  be one of those people who take different animals to elementary schools and teach kids about them, [...]
