The Number Seven – Happy Anniversary to Us Edition!

August 3, 2009

The number 7 is considered especially significant in many cultures and religions. It exists as an important symbol in a variety of scriptural texts around the world. To avoid going off on a likely very boring tangent, I’ll leave it at that and just say… Happy 7th Anniversary to us! Together we became four this [...]

Thankful

November 26, 2008

I know, it’s Thanksgiving, and everyone is doing it. Sometimes, that’s not a bad thing. I am thankful. I am thankful for my husband, son, and the little bean-son growing. Without Tim, my life wouldn’t be fun, filled with laughter and love, and there would be a giant Tim-sized hole in my heart. Without the [...]

Wherein I Lose It

October 29, 2008

I choose you all over again

August 3, 2008

Six years ago I promised to love you forever. I didn’t know then that my love could grow stronger every day. Our lives are very different than when we met, a long, long, long time ago. We’ve shared so much laughter, lying in bed late at night. You’ve been my rock, and I’ve been the [...]

Going Home

May 19, 2008

As I’m writing this, Mary and I are sitting in the Seattle airport waiting for our red-eye flight to George Bush Houston-tinental Whatever Airport, where we’re be long enough to eat and pee and get on the plane to our real destination – home. Well, our REAL destination is wherever J-Man is. Her parents are [...]

Being away

May 15, 2008

Greetings from 30,000 feet above the East Coast of the US! I don’t know whether there’s a Mile High Blogging Club, but let’s not go there. I’m on my way home from Boston and the wedding of my best friend – second only to the person I’m married to, of course. I was best man [...]
