Composting!

There were a lot of things that factored heavily when we bought our house. Fenced in yard? Check. Two car garage? Check. Crazy elevated playhouse behind the shed made of deteriorating particle-board? Che-what? Yeah, so, in the back corner of our yard, there was a tree-house that looked like a …

Another grateful moment.

I left for Kroger on Sunday and got about 5 houses down and saw a woman talking to other neighbors with a little piggy on a leash. Cuuuute! Then I realized I forgot my wallet and turned around. Josiah and August were outside so I suggested they walk down because …

Passions!

Josiah is turkey hunting for the first time this weekend. He’s never been hunting. In fact, he just learned how to use a gun this past weekend from his uncle. Hunting never bothered me… I have always been unsure about my feelings on guns. I think hunting is great, but …

Our patience is finally paying off. Sleep.

When I think back to when August was born, we didn’t have a parenting agenda. There was no particular path we knew we were going to follow. We knew nothing. What I found quickly was I hated hearing him cry. It made me cringe. After a small amount of reading …

July 7th, 2012….28 days until the wedding!

Just some updates on life. We bought a house! It’s officially ours. Woo hoo! We will be making the big move from Newport, Kentucky to Burlington, Kentucky just after we get married. Who needs a fancy vacation in a hot spot when it’s plenty warm in Kentucky..? We are very, …

June 14th, 2012…51 days until the wedding

What to write here…I will not write a post while doing a jig (unlike Josiah’s first post.) Should I talk about how much love we’re in, and how happy we are, and how good we’ll look on our wedding day? Although it’s all true, I will save that for the …
