We had an amazing Easter family vacation last weekend, but I was so wiped out from the drive I didn’t get a chance to write a blog post. I felt a little bad taking the kids out of school for two days the week after spring break, but when your dad only gets a limited …
Tornadoes, sun, and pottery. We had a lot of plans for spring break, but the only one that went through was on the first day of spring break. We had beautiful sunny weather and went to the lake. One of our friends couldn’t make it due to sick kids, but the other came and brought …
Twice a year our church hosts a conference. There are five two-hour sessions. It’s a lot of church, but it always leaves me with a desire to do better, be better and gives me a sense of hope and peace for our future, despite the tumultuous times we live in. I usually notice trends that …
This was a good week, fast, and mostly uneventful. I was able to go to the gym nearly every day during the week (every day but Friday where I stayed home and caught up on housework). I got to eat lunch with Andy on base on Friday with Beverly and Harvey during one of his …
We celebrated a little unconventionally this year. Andy had 24 hour shift so I brought him Slim Chickens to celebrate on our anniversary. He had flowers sent to our home and I got him a traditional Star Wars bobble head. Our “gift” to each other was a VR headset. We’ve enjoyed it– it’s quite an …
We didn’t get out much this week. First of all we were sick. Then when we started feeling better my kids were able to go to school Wednesday and half of Thursday before an early day out and a day off on Friday. Go figure. So I got to spend a lot of time with …
I have three totes of journals and photos I have to go through or store, but with the new setup in the office I have been chipping away at it. I’ve scanned more photos in the past few weeks than I had since I started this project four years ago. Andy is our tech guru …
I’m not going to lie. This week felt like it went on forever. The kids didn’t have school Monday and didn’t want to go to the gym so I conceded. I also just felt super tired allll week. Like dragging my feet out of a tar pit tired, pry my eyes open with a toothpick …
January and now February have practically flown by, despite being quite challenging months. We had a lot going on! Which is why I didn’t post much; I just was too wiped out by the time Sundays rolled around. We were in a bit of a survival mode. In January, for family night one week, we …
We skipped church today because I’m still recovering from some virus. It started in my stomach with body aches and the like and moved to my throat along with some other weird symptoms. Harvey had a fever for like four days, but seems better now. He’s learned how to open door knobs, safety locks, safety …
