Things to make us better partners

Mandee was doing her usual blog surfing a couple weeks ago and found this very interesting post. It is something i would really like to incorporate into our lives because i think it will make our relationship stronger. Now, theres at least one on this list that will...

Let the sampling begin…

Last night, we had our very first taste (ahem) of a caterer’s food for our wedding… yeah, we are probably planning this a little early. Yum! A local caterer, Abner’s Attic, was hosting an open house. They certainly had some yummy food, but what most...

Birthday Weekend…

And so it begins… my last year in the 30s has started! I sit and write this on what would have been my dad’s 80th birthday. Wow, hard to believe. What a nice weekend it was, even though it started off a little rocky. Friday evening, my niece Taylor was...

So Mandee walked across the stage (Part 1…Part 2 is in a year) for her White Coat Ceremony this weekend. In attendance were myself, of course, her mom, sister, friend Heather, my sister and brother-in-law, and cousin Brian. Mandee pretty much covered the...

What a crazy few weeks!
