Every time I go out for a ladies’ night, I always think to myself, “Why on earth do I not do this more often?” I mean, I love spending time with the hubby and all (of course), but sometimes a little woman-to-woman chat time is exactly what the mental doctor ordered. I served with all …
Youth Conference 2012
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to finally get around to posting about youth conference, which was almost two weeks ago. I’m telling you, this new teaching job is kicking my trash . . . or at least stealing any semblance I had of free time. Since Matt and I are both involved …
Tuesday Tell-All
*See that hot mess of bananas and whipped cream and huge hunks of peanut butter cup? Doesn’t it look AMAZING? Well, it was. And yes, this is the second time I’ve cleaned the sink in a month. When you’ve gotta celebrate, you’ve gotta go to Angie’s. It’s the local rule. *Can I postulate a hypothesis …
Alaska Cruise Wrap-Up

Alaska Cruise – Victoria, Canada
To round out our vacation, we made a quick stop in Victoria, Canada for about four hours. Originally we’d planned on going to the Butchart Gardens (which has been on my dream list ever since I’ve heard of its existence), but due to cost and time constraints, we decided to save it for some future trip. …
Tuesday Tell-All, Back 2 School Edition
*I taught my first day of school today. It was my first first day of school as a teacher ever, and I am EXHAUSTED. I feel like my feet have swollen up like a pregnant lady’s (I’m sure never wearing those heels again in this heat!), and I needed a Dr. Pepper something awful by …
Alaska – Tracey Arm Fjord
Before this cruise, I had never heard of Tracey Arm Fjord. Just in case you haven’t either, the Fjord is a narrow inlet that’s been carved out by a massive glacier off the coast of Southern Alaska. The opening to the Fjord is a tricky little sucker to navigate on a cruise ship (or …
