Since we hadn’t been home to see our families since Christmas, we decided this weekend that we’d probably better suck it up and pay the extra gas costs and get ourselves to Bountiful already. We couldn’t have picked a better weekend to go. Besides being a 3-day weekend (which just automatically makes for a more convenient weekend to …
V-Day: The Aftermath
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 …

Nice to Meetcha
So . . . it’s come to my attention that seemingly overnight, I have acquired a lot of new readers. And since part of the reason why I got into the blogging world was because I liked getting to meet like-minded people, I decided that today, I want to meet you. But before I ask …
50 Weeks to Organized: Week 6
Ever since I knew I would be doing this challenge, I have been looking forward to being able to finally organize our pantry and food storage.
