On Chris’ day off, Labor Day. He worked on finishing up these wonderful shelves for our bedroom. I LOVE them! In fact, I like them so much, they make me want to do laundry! What more could you ask for?!   He must have  done some wire switching in my brain when he built these because […]

It’s late and I’m tired but I just needed to say that I have the best husband ever! I left him at home with four kids for about 4 hours. I put Cait down to bed at around 7:00 and he finished up dinner with the other three and then put them to bed while […]

I can remember when I was just a young girl watching daddy’s with their daughters and seeing that close connection, and as a teenage girl thinking and dreaming that some day my daughters would have that with their father. I held onto that dream, I believe it’s probably one of the most important things to […]

I’m not an expert on men, but I do have a husband who’s a pretty good communicator and with whom I am learning to communicate better with each day. The longer I’ve been married the more I realize how important it is to speak words of affirmation to him. As well as when I speak […]

I always feel a little guilty if I have to ask Chris to take time off because I have an appointment or I’m sick. I was thinking about it though and I realized that if he felt like I did today he would not have gone to work so what’s wrong with me “calling in […]

This morning after Guenna’s morning nap I bundled the kids (there was still a little snow on the ground from last night and it was pretty cold out there) and walked down the road to our neighbor’s house. I had called ahead of time to make sure she would be there so I could use […]

I am so tired right now! It’s 11:17 pm and I just got back from shopping at Fred Meyer’s and Wal Mart! But I came home to dishes from dinner that were washed and the left overs put in the fridge and tonight my husband put up the hanging shelves that go above the washer/dryer […]

Sweet red roses from the love of my life! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten red roses from a man before :) What a perfect occasion to receive them, isn’t he sweet :) In fact I don’t ever remember receiving red roses before, I’ve gotten lots of other flowers […]

Birthdays are a big deal to me. I love celebrating my kids birthdays and my husband’s and I’ve always loved the feeling of being celebrated. Tonight Chris told me he planned a birthday get together at his parents house for me on Saturday, even though my birthday isn’t until Monday, that means we get to celebrate […]

Chris is gone tonight at our church’s men’s retreat. He will be back sometime tomorrow afternoon. I’ve known about this retreat for a couple months but it is always so hard for me to let him go, we so look forward to our family time on the weekends, getting to have him all to ourselves. […]
