Woah! This year was....slow to say the least. We live in a small community so door to door really isn't a problem here. Unfortunately we also live in a developing neighborhood so the houses to trick or treat at are scarce. So for my preggo toosh it was a long, hard walk that only lasted about 2 blocks. Luckily, I have a great husband that took our son out for another hour after I gave up and the kids got a busload of … [Read more...]

Step into my time machine for a short trip back to the fall of 1998. I was a sophomore in high school and joined the track team for my second year, which was also my last. As much as I loved the rush of being a sprinter I wanted to try something new. I gave up my wind breaker and short shorts for a new "sport"..but we'll save that for another Friday. I had a love for all sports and was pretty good with just about … [Read more...]

I was going through our bucket of old pictures, what's left of them anyways, and thought it would be fun to try a meme called Flashback Friday. Every Friday I'll share a little slice of my past with you.This picture is of my first Halloween with my husband. It's scary what 7 years and 3 kids does to you, but here I am at the tender age of 18 dressed up in my husband's old security uniform. He is sporting his old car … [Read more...]

Let me start by saying, I am not a pack rat, in fact I don't have a single thing from my past that I've held onto, not even a high school yearbook. On the completely opposite end of the scope is my husband., the biggest pack rat I've ever known. This man even still has UNDERWEAR from high school, which was oh about 12 years ago. Over the course of our marriage I've managed to sneak a few of his old junky things out … [Read more...]

Every year the Carillon Society holds a fundraising event by puting on a yearly Pumpkin Spectacular. It's a night of glowing, carved pumpkins, food and fun. The weekend before they invite the community out to help carve the pumpkins. Out of the 2008 pumpkins being shown this year, we carved 4 of them. My husband did two, one of which I ended up fixing for him and our son did two while I supervised our toddler and … [Read more...]
