I Can Officially Say I Survived a Hurricane

Well, Hurricane Matthew is officially in Charleston's history. Ours too.  It's interesting to me as some one who grew up in the mountains her whole life to have lived through a hurricane. I was raised in Montana, the land of below zero and frozen air, but I never once had a snow day. But here …

Baby Girl’s Name

It is hard to believe that I am 27 weeks pregnant! Baby is the size of large head of lettuce. I'm almost done with my second trimester. The reality that we are going to have a third being in our home in about three months is beginning to overwhelm me. I have one more month …

There are big moments in life as we all know. Moments that stay in our hearts forever whether good our bad, they stay with us. Growing up you begin to think about your future. Who you might become.

The highs and lows of pregnancy

Well at this stage in the game I am 17 weeks pregnant and entering my fifth month! Exciting! Baby is the size of a pomegranate! Or you could say I'm 18 weeks pregnant... The doctors seem to be inconsistent. The two doctors I've seen at the same practice have different ideas on due date. One …

My Heart Is Alive (an update on Baby K)

For the most part things in my life have never made sense. My choices. My actions. The horrible things that happened around me. I found my life seemed wayward and off course.

Three Years In The Making

There are these moments in life were it all seems too good to be true. These glimpses into pure joy that cause your whole body to freeze because the news is just too good to be true. For example, when David proposed I stood there in such shock that I didn't say anything. Even though …

We Finally Get To Sleep In Our Bed!

We closed on our house on the 23rd or December. The lease to our apartment didn't end until the end of January so we took our sweet time moving in  to our new house but what we didn't do was prioritize the master bedroom. Instead we painted the bathroom and cleaned everything else first. By …

The Ways We Keep Our Marriage Strong

I know that I haven't been married for a very long time so a lot of you veterans out there may want to tell me to shove it or tell me to just wait until "the trouble hits." Perhaps thats  judgmental to say. I don't know. What I do know is that David and I …

Adulting

Things are coming together with the house. We got a lot done in one weekend. Moved half of our stuff over,got organized, and cleaned a little. As usual there is still a lot to do but we have time and I know that everything is going to come together. We made a big purchase today. …

Goodbye 2015…You were good to me

Every year on the first I feel sad. I am not sure why because it is usually a time of happy and new beginnings. I guess I begin to question my life and really ponder the impact I made in the year past. Did I make a difference in someones life? Did I fail? Did …
