Saturday Afternoon at My House. My family (old name & new name family) gave me the best birthday present this year. They came to my house — my green home — and we had dinner together (and so much conversation and laughter and little ones playing). The photo shows it all — the many nieces… Continue reading birthday love
I knew it — you’ve been wondering where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to. Actually, you haven’t. We’re probably friends on Facebook and you probably keep tabs on my comings and goings through that particular time-sucking social media outlet. I love facebook. Anyway. It’s been almost two whole weeks since I’ve written and… Continue reading house work
the husband left the house by 7am today. he came home late last night with work under his arms for the evening hours. when you’re told to fix a problem and save money for the company you work for that’s what you have to do. and i did what i have to do: i made… Continue reading such rich love
it’s thursday night. i’m tired and the husband is sick. we’ve been sitting on the couch together in silence for the last hour. he’s reading through leviticus and i’m reading recipes online. we’re normal, right?
I’m just gonna say that my first Valentine’s Day as married girl was a success. It could have been that he couldn’t wait to give me presents so they were brought out last night. It could be that in the mix of gifts there were REAL PEARL EARRINGS (let the choirs start to sing). It… Continue reading what a lovely holiday
Tomorrow is one of my favorite days. I’m not surrounded by a whole lot of red, white, and pink this year and I’ve not made one heart shaped sugar cookie (making dozens of cookies for two people in a house?! bad, bad, bad.), but it’s still here and I’m still so excited. We’re celebrating our… Continue reading valentine’s day!
this morning didn’t start according to plan. the alarm was reset for 20 minutes after we were both supposed to rise. when we managed to finally roll out of bed i scurried downstairs in a rush to quickly make food for the husband’s day in the office and brew a pot of coffee. only i… Continue reading the start to our day
after years of spending every single day under the direction and oversight of my mums, i suddenly found myself at the magical age of 18. it appears magical because you’re encouraged to try spreading your wings a bit, however that may be. some get jobs, some commute to community colleges, some move states away for… Continue reading making this my life
after a week of house/dog sitting at my In-Laws i just walked through my front door, arms full of things that were needed for a whole week spent away. it’s the small things in life, but today, for the first time, i didn’t view this big green house as simply the place i moved to… Continue reading home
sometimes the husband is late coming home from work. i’m left hanging in the kitchen surrounded by the aromas of an almost-ready meal which makes my mouth salivate and my tummy start to rumble (no, i never read winnie the pooh). all this is everything sad.
