Happy 14th birthday to my amazing sister-in-law, Sara! Randy and I were 16 when she was born. We watched her run around our school gym without a care as a toddler, we took her to see Monsters Inc. as a 5-year-old and soothed her as she cried at the scary parts, we were delighted to have [...]

Kara, Kelli, Randy and I rocked it out for our audience (Doug) today on Beatles Rock Band. I was the singer and I scored 99% on most of the songs. Watch out Paul McCartney – I’m comin’ for you.

For our birthday, My parents made Randy and me this collage of photos of each of us growing up. Such a cool gift. Today we finally got around to hanging it up in the hallway. Now I feel like a true grown-up because I have a collage photo frame in my hallway!

We had a fish fry at the family reuinion this year. It was tasty but tons of work. Looking at the mess made me kind of want to die. And I didn’t even have to clean it up…

Yesterday we learned that Randy’s grandpa had a minor stroke on Thursday. He’s got out of the hospital last night and is doing okay, so we picked him up and took him to lunch today.

Despite a big family lunch and a loving visit from my sweet, sweet grandparents, I was feeling rather dark all day. I think my hormones are still somewhat wonky and I didn’t get much sleep last night. After an exhausting week of camp, all those factors combined to leave me feeling completely off my game. I [...]

We got three letters/cards of support in the mail today from my grandparents, Randy’s grandparents, and my first bestest friend, Mandi. Though reading them caused me to loose it once again, they warmed my heart. Knowing that so many people are thinking of us and hurting with us allows us to feel validated in our [...]

I was emptying out my pockets today before doing laundry and found this fortune in my jeans. I got it at lunch on Tuesday about two hours before I received the call informing me of my impending miscarriage. One of my pet peeves is when fortune cookie fortunes aren’t really fortunes – just advice or [...]
