Cooking With Cast Iron

I recently made the decision to start consulting with Pampered Chef. I choose to do this because it was a great way to earn a little extra income, which goes into our savings account for when we move back to Washington. Additionally I choose to start a Pampered Chef business because I love their products …

The Dark Haze

Has anyone ever been in a complete daze? Surrounded in a darkness you simply cannot control. Maybe if you are like me you get agitated easily. You become someone else entirely. It's completely weird because you can "feel"normal (whatever normal even is) yet in your head, your mind, the brain inside your skull... however you …

Discovering Wonderland (Chapter 17)

Somewhere in the distance I heard Suzanna screaming, horrible mind numbing screams. The kind of screams that keep you up at night. I could smell the iron from all the blood that was shed. I blinked hard trying to remain focused but everything was turning to mud. 

Discovering Wonderland (Chapter 10)

“Steven…Steven…” I said giving him a firm shove. 

“Don’t worry it’s way to crowded in here for people to notice.” He said raising the hand that was by my bra line to cup my breast. His lips were below my ear and sucking. 

“Steven! Not here ok?” I said firmer and giving him another push. After what happened last night with Archer all of this suddenly felt so wrong. But it wasn’t like I could tell him I kissed another guy. Not only that but I wasn’t even sure how to feel about anything right now, let alone my relationship with Steven. Archer didn’t want date me. He made that clear. So should I date Steven even though I had stronger feelings for someone else? Someone I could never have? Where did that leave me? I really liked Steven but did that mean I should stay with him and let it play out or did I move on? But move on to who? Honestly, I felt so confused and conflicted.

Who you'll marry. The kind of career you might establish. It's amazing because nothing is ever what …

A Small World Tidbit

I hope y'all had a great Super Bowl weekend. I know that it's pretty much an American Holiday so that is why I feel an odd sense of guilt that I didn't watch it. Instead, David and I spent the day painting our bedroom. It's almost finished! We have to do one more coat of …

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 …

Love beyond words…

Dear beloved,  Last week when you called me my words caught in my throat. I wanted to say so much but I wasn't sure how to. I wasn't sure if you were ready for my words or if now was the time. You said so much and I am still in such shock.  Shock that …

Love Is All You Need

Alright so here's the skinny... I pushed the pause button on blogging for a couple weeks so that I could catch up on life. Buying a house is a very expensive and time consuming process. Thank you all for baring with me. I must say I am touched by all the emails, calls, and texts I …
