I took a two week hiatus because first week Andy was closing on our house in GA and I happened to get super sick that weekend on top of it, so blogging was the last thing on my mind. But I made it through alive as did the kids. Andy made it back to us …
I’ll be honest, it has not been a great Easter. It hasn’t been one filled with reflection on the great gift He has given me. It hasn’t been one filled with laughter and memory making. I am stressed. How do I find peace in the midst of stress? If I knew I wouldn’t be writing …
In my blog post, titled, “Finding Peace” I talked about our first week of getting the house on the market and the whirlwind of showings. To my relief, and feelings of utmost gratitude, the house is now under contract. Actually, it’s kind of a funny story. The house went officially on the market April 4th. …
One of my online groups is LDS based. About two weeks ago someone started the thread, “Where’s the conference gossip?” And every one went crazy with weird theories of the Word of Wisdom being changed either to include exercise or take out tea and coffee. That last one didn’t sit right with me, but if …
Saturday evening through Monday morning were literally a whirl wind of non-stop madness. I got home from Time Out for Women– which I promise I will blog about later- and got to work preparing the house for the stagers that were coming Monday.

We made an offer at the end of business day yesterday so we are patiently waiting to hear back from them. We offered asking price but with the stipulation they provide blinds, fans, an extra gate on the already promised fence and a fridge along with closing costs. We have an amazing realtor who is …
Andy and I had a great date Saturday night. We went to his pre match day party. It was great to meet his colleagues after all this time. They had delicious pizza and I got to know quite a bit of his friends, but we’re old (well older than a lot of them + three …
Anyone else get stress bumps on their scalp? They’re painful. This week I got a patch of them. I handle stress fairly well… I think… and sometimes I don’t realize that I’m stressed until those annoying little bumps appear on the edge of my scalp. This week they were so bad they made the smooth …
I have been looking through files on the computer and have come to realize just how much we have on there: pictures, documents, Elise’s creative writing. With this realization, I thought how awful it would be if I lost it. We have over 300 gigabytes of pictures and videos alone. That is a whole lot …
