Can you still count yourselves as newlyweds if you sit down to dinner the week of your second wedding anniversary and agree that neither of you have anything important on the schedule this week? Oops. The truth is year two was just about as full as year one, minus a few international soccer trips. Let’s […]

They say time flies when you’re having fun. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. And they also say you should probably create your wedding video prior to the eve of your first anniversary. Well I say two out of three ain’t bad. It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since our wedding […]

I don’t hate much. In fact, I’m one of those optimists that manages to see the teeny tiny glimmers of hope in generally pretty awful people even when I’m trying not to.

They say girls dream about their wedding day from a young age. I wasn’t one of those girls. If I wore a dress, I usually rocked a pair of shorts under it. And in my mind, princess referenced ladies like Belle or Diana, not the cut of a diamond. As I got older and my love […]
Read MoreJuly is a huge birthday month in our family. Beginning early in the month, we celebrate 10 human birthdays and one very large dog’s. And the following month doesn’t slow down much either. There must have been something in the water from the years 1925 to 2006. The month kicks off with the birthday celebration of […]
