What My Mama Taught Me:

(Found this on the internet)
1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE.
“If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.”
2. My mother taught me RELIGION.
“You better pray that will come out of the carpet.”
3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL.
“If you don’t straighten up, I’m [...]

Apparently, pregnant women lose their personal space.

Tony and I made a quick stop to CVS this afternoon to look for aftershave. No, it did not take both of us to buy aftershave, but we have this funny thing about liking to go to even the most mundane places together. Actually, I don’t think drugstores are all that mundane. I enjoy buying [...]

Fun with puppy!

Our poor dog puts up with a lot of torment from us. For some reason, we find it entertaining to torture him a bit and do things or make him do things that cause him to look at us like we are idiots. You may remember our fun with packing supplies:

Or, the time we put [...]

I think I’ve got this whole cooking thing down.

Do you know what the best part is about having people over for hamburgers on a Tuesday night? Left-overs.

You’ve got a friend in me.

Over the weekend, we had a great visit with friends from Virginia. They were here to celebrate the graduation of another friend, and were able to come by and spend a good portion of Saturday with us. It was great to catch up and share stories. They are expecting their first baby, too. A girl.
I [...]

Baby Room Update.

After days of taping and painting and washing and creating, here is what the baby’s room looks like! There are more items that will eventually be finished or added, but this is what we have so far. I can’t tell you how good it feels to have this done. It makes me feel a little [...]

Getting ready.

Hopefully, by the end of the week, I’ll be able to mark off another task on the “Things To Get Done Before The Baby Comes” list. I spent most of my day, on Wednesday, putting the first coat of paint on the walls in the guest bedroom/baby room. I hope to do the second coat [...]

Sexy dude who has extensive experience in swooning women and built his own website.

I left it in there.

Page Four.

Everything had been set up for me to begin my new life in Virginia. I would have been excited about what lay ahead of me if I wasn’t so terrified to leave everything else behind. During the days before the actual move, I relied heavily on the strength of my mother and even told her [...]
