So we had a bit of a scare this Tuesday. Remember when I said I wasn't feeling well? Well, it all came to a head on Tuesday. I was out grocery shopping when all of a sudden I started to feel really horrible. My heart was racing (111 bpm) and I could feel something was…

Look at this, two blog posts in a week. I've been pondering friendship lately. I often do as my friend circle evolves and changes all the time. I have a lot of acquaintances, but not a lot of friends. It's changed because I used to have a lot more friends. I don't want pity…

I do enjoy blogging. Truly. I do. There's just been so much going on in my life that blogging has taken a back seat. My baby received her First Holy Communion at the beginning of February. The Monday after the Super Bowl to be precise. Yes, it was hard waking up and getting us all…

In the midst of election stuff, I forgot. I did. If it hadn't been for Facebook, I might have just glossed over what today was. On November 5, 2009, Ben had his promotion ceremony. We had finished up with the ceremony and we were all socializing and eating cake. Our friend, who worked at the…

I read a blog post the other day written by a young woman who was 8 when 9/11 happened. Her dad was in the Army, the peaceful Army. That day life changed for her family. Her dad deployed twice before he retired from the military. This post hit home for me. It made me…

So, what are you all doing this weekend? I hear there are cooler temperatures in the forecast. I sure hope so. We have had so many days of 100+ weather that I'm a wilted Texan. A cousin of Ben's posted pictures on Facebook of pumpkins. Pumpkins! Fall seems like such a foreign concept to me.…

It's been a while since I've been here. My last post besides the birthday one was right after the girls' ballet performance. Wow. Why? Well, we've been living a full and busy life; so busy that by nighttime when I usually blog, I'm exhausted and don't want to do anything more than read some pop…
