I just noticed the date today, and realized that Adam and I have been together for 8 years now. It really doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. We became a couple on our first date. It’s fun to remember:We went with a few other couples to A-Tech’s Girl’s Reverse dance. I remember I had [...]

So, we are now full swing into potty training Daphne! She initiated it, and is definitely ready. However, I’m finding that I’m the one lacking in the patience needed for this. While she is content to sit on the toilet for a long time, I have a hard time siting there with her. It was [...]
A new addition

Tonight we added another member to our family (no, not another child). We got another mini dachshund puppy! He’s very cute! Now we have a little boyfriend for Chewy. So, just so it’s clear, we now have: 4 dogs, 4 kids, 1 mom, 1 dad, (and a partridge in a pear tree)! It’s great!
When is it right to take a risk?

Adam approached me tonight about buying an investment property. On the surface it’s a great idea. The only problem is that we would have to pull out all of the equity in our home, plus a little more. That thought just makes me a little uneasy. If it doesn’t work out, we’re messing with our [...]
Trust the Lord

I’ve recently been reminded of the necessity of trusting the Lord. This is something that I have been actively working on doing for the last several months. I’ve found, however, that it can be very difficult to trust and do the will of the Lord. We often think that we know better, and we can [...]

Alright, here we go. It was only a matter of time before I had to talk about Iraq. The only reason it’s waited this long is because I’ve really been “biting my tounge” so to speak.On Wednesday, the President delivered his State of the Union Address, in which he outlined a new strategy for Iraq. [...]
Yet another reason why I don’t like Harry Reid
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Harry Reid on 10 January, 2007 | 2 Comments »
The Democrats are changing their mind, and flip-floping yet again. What a shock, eh? Anyway, Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, has now said that he will not support a troop surge in Iraq. Now, on Dec. 17, he said he would support it. Several other Democrats are doing the same. [...]
They grow too fast

This last week, we celebrated both Logan’s and Gavin’s birthdays. Logan turned 6 and Gavin 4. It is amazing to me that it has already been 6 years since I had Logan. They just grow too fast. It really seems like such a short time ago that we brought them home from the hospital. It [...]
Chocolate

As I was making my sons’ birthday cake today, I began to really think about chocolate. I love chocolate! I may even say that I have an addiction to chocolate. Chocolate is a wonderful thing! It tastes great. But it is more than the flavor and taste. It’s smooth and creamy and literally melts in [...]
