Something that will never cease to amaze me about marriage is that you think you know your spouse pretty well, and then they’ll do something totally unpredictable that just makes you fall in love with them all over again. Partly just because it shocks the heck out of you. And I kind of like that. …
Happy Valentine’s Day – From Here to Forever
While I have to put up with the antics and awkwardness that is Valentine’s Day at a middle school, one thing at least will keep me sane today: The fact that I have my own Real-Life Valentine now . . . and forever. The fact that I don’t have to be wondering as I go through …
50 Weeks to Organized: Week 7
