Today we received our first order for a library. Many might not think that is all that, but imagine going into a library and knowing something you created was purchased so many can have access to it! As a writer, I always imagined having a book sitting on one of those shelves, but I will …
Whizzing By
Spring break whizzed by! One day we thought we would take the kids for a hike. I went 2/3 of the way and realized something was wrong. I didn’t feel so well. I sent everyone up the mountain and then I found a shaded rock and rested until I felt I could get myself down …
Living Large
As my boys grew up I KNEW that some day they would become best friends. I imagined that they would hang together and go on double dates and their children would be more then cousins, they would be friends. Lately, they have been spending more time together. They both love doing the same sorts of …

Camped Out
I believe my days of camping have come to an end. Last night we went up to a lake and camped over night. Ciera and her friend slept in a tiny tent and Chris and I slept in the back of the Tahoe. We had a queen size air mattress. Chris has sleep apnea. So …

Team Work
Yesterday we had a business lunch. I always get a little quiet during these little meet and greets. I think it is warranted. There have been so many times that we have met with someone and shared our ideas and plans and then find they have taken our idea, knowledge or connections and have used …
BanJoe’s Birthday
Today is Ben’s 23rd birthday. As I was putting this together… I cried. These moments are my moments. These images brought back so many memories and times. Hugs with chubby little fingers and wet snotty kisses. Who’d of thought one would miss that?! Now when my children hug me, it is my chubby fingers (sort …
Baby’s Gone
This month is crazy for Ciera Jo. Every week she has another performance, activity or SOMETHING that makes her feel just a tad stressed out. This week was no different. We didn’t think she would make it to this performance because she had that cold/cough thing and well, I hear that when you have one …
Dig up the Dirt!
Have you noticed… That when you read other people’s blogs everyone looks like they are having a really good time, all the time? Now, don’t get your hair in the air! I am not suggesting that everyone become morose… but maybe a tad more real would be nice. I am in the midst of writing …
