If (Rudyard Kipling at his finest)

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

Happy 10th Anniversary to the Girl of My Dreams

Don’t you wish we were there?!?!  We’ve never deserved it so much.  But I’ve discovered over the past 10 years (where did all THAT time go?) that wherever you are, I am happy there.  No one fills my days as you do, and I am so thankful for your love and trust.  We may not [...]

Fish Finger Puppets!

So, my team REALLY stunk it up tonight, and I am, I must say, feeling it.  But, there is always Vampire Weekend when the going gets tough.  This makes me feel better…

Now, I [...]

Isn’t it amazing…

…that things can be impossibly bad in so many ways, and yet so new and exciting in many others…
life – what an adventure
Exciting new details (to me anyway) soon to come.

It’s what’s for dinner…

Attention Please…

Do you ever get the feeling that your entire life has been leading up to one, decisive moment? Yeah, me too…
So, here’s the deal: I’m going to law school…in Colorado! Yep, I’m applying to University of Colorado (CU) in Boulder for the fall 2009 term. I’ll be moving my wonderful young family to the foot [...]
