There’s a reason why I shouldn’t wait to blog until the end of the day. The reason is that, after making dinner, feeding Joe, putting him to bed, cleaning up the kitchen, putting away the toys, adding the day’s expenses and earnings into the budget spreadsheet, answering and sending emails, and any other things that… Read More My Funny Mother’s Day
We had a fabulous time on our vacation in St. Thomas. It was wonderful, sunny, relaxing… everything that a vacation should be. We are now spending the next week with my side of the family before we make the big move. My father is a family practice physician. As a registered nurse, there are times… Read More Who Doesn’t Like Pearls?
I know that I said that it would be several days before I posted again, but I really need to share about my last day at work. Before I left this morning, Chris asked if I thought I would get emotional today, and I think I said something like, “Nah, I’ll be fine!”. Yeah, right.… Read More Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend
Chris knows that I love to get presents (what girl doesn’t?), and he knows that these presents don’t have to be big or expensive – just gestures to let me know that he’s thinking of me. This morning, I get up at the leisurely hour of 9:30 (I’m working evenings tonight, so I don’t go… Read More Thanks, Sweetie 🙂
Today was our 4 year anniversary! It’s hard to believe that Chris & I were married on this day back in 2004 – time has flown by. We’ve been through many changes over these last 4 years. We’ve moved a total of 4 times (yikes!), I became a nurse, Chris became a professor, we’ve traveled… Read More Happy Anniversary 🙂
I am finished with all of my Christmas shopping! At least, I think that I’m finished. I have a tendency to say that I’m done, only to wait till a few days before Christmas and decide that I need to get one last thing for someone. But this year, I really think that I’m finished.… Read More Christmas Shopping
I had a lovely little box waiting on my front step this afternoon, and I was hoping that it would be my Christmas ornament from PamperingBeki’s exchange. And it was 🙂 Isn’t it so cute? A big “THANK YOU” to Glacier-Eyed Girl – it’s adorable! And for those of you wondering about my ornament, I… Read More Christmas Ornament Exchange – Received!
A huge THANK YOU to my wonderful younger sister, Valerie! I was so surprised to see a big box waiting on my doorstep when I pulled in the drive this afternoon. I was thinking, “Oops – did I order something and forget about it again?” As I got closer, I saw that the address was… Read More Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!
Do you realize that there are only 53 days left till Christmas? I was reading a post on my friend Janna’s blog, and she was expressing my sentiments exactly – it is soooo hard not to get caught up in buying a ton of presents for loved ones! It’s bad enough when the person you’re… Read More Christmas Presents
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone 🙂 This year, since we are on a budget (both of us being students and all) our gifts were a bit more economical than last year. Still, Chris was really sweet & surprised me a day early with a big bouquet of pink roses & pink lilies. Then, that night Chris… Read More Happy Valentine’s Day!
Sorry – I just have to share these photos with you – they are of my Valentine’s Day gift from my husband (blue topaz with diamonds)! Isn’t he great?!
