Phil is one of my husband’s closest friends and even though they’ve lived apart for six years they continue to have a strong friendship. So strong in fact that my husband was the best man in the wedding. Arianna wasContinue reading “A British Wedding Scrapbook”

Countdown to England
Life has been extremely busy lately. That’s the thing about summer. It goes more quickly each year. In May I envisioned these summer days to be spent on the porch, drinking coffee, reading and blogging away to my heart’s content. In reality I’m facing a pretty busy schedule similar to the August-May one that I’mContinue reading “Countdown to England”
Father’s Day and a Ninety Year Old Birthday Party
What a special weekend! It’s not every year that you get to spend an entire weekend celebrating Father’s Day and a 90th birthday surrounded by friends and family. This year is special for our family.

It was such aContinue reading “Father’s Day and a Ninety Year Old Birthday Party”

My Sister on Her Graduation Day
Today is the day that my baby sister graduates high school. I know it is probably about time that I stop referring to her as the baby, but when you can remember teaching someone to talk, walk, and read they will forever be young in your eyes. My eighteen year old sister is one-of-a-kind. SheContinue reading “My Sister on Her Graduation Day”
Motherhood Top 5
The journey of motherhood is such a blessing. When I found out at age twenty-one that I was carrying my first child I was shocked and then extremely scared. Being so young I was still trying to figure myself out and my roles as a teacher and wife. I feared that I was too young andContinue reading “Motherhood Top 5”
