House Hunting…Horrors

I was just lamenting with a coworker today about how busy our lives have been.  He just moved into his new place yesterday and I asked why he decided to move during the middle of the week.  His response was that his weekends have been so busy that it was only feasible to move during…

Cork Vacation 2011 – Day 1

As promised, I’m going to share with everyone some photos from our family vacation.  I know our vacation was months ago, but I’ve been busy.  See the previous post. 🙂 This year we decided to travel to Fort Lauderdale, FL for a week and then to Chicago, IL for another 4 days.  We left on Saturday morning…

We’ve been so busy…

I haven’t had time to post anything in a couple of months…2 to be exact.  We’ve been so busy that I haven’t had the time to actually sit down to type my thoughts and include the photos that should accompany it.  I’ve been taking photos with the intention of posting about everything but life has…

Marital Roles

Every year our church has a theme that we focus on.  This theme is something that our pastor prays about and waits on an answer from God before it is chosen.  This years theme deals with relationships: our relationship with God, our children, our spouse, our family members, with friends, with coworkers, I think he…

A Good Home-Cooked Meal

After being on vacation for close to two weeks I have to say that I’m completely burnt out on eating out.  Don’t get me wrong we had some really good food while we were away, but after a time you just get to a point where you just don’t want to eat at another restaurant. …

Surprise!!!

A few months ago my mother called me and told me that she would like us to have a 60th birthday party for her and she wanted all of her friends to come (she would give me the list) and she let me know what she wanted me to prepare for her meal.  I talked…

Happy Birthday Babydoll!!

This past weekend we had my baby dolls birthday party.  It promised to be a day full of a lot of kids and the threat of rain.  I had spent the week planning all of the things that I needed to get done so that I would not feel overwhelmed.  In addition to the party on Saturday,…

She made me a mom

Seven years ago on this day God charged me with the care of a tiny person.  I had been carrying this person around in my womb and my heart for 40 weeks already, but on that day she was pulled out of my belly (by emergency c-section) and from that moment I was responsible for…

I forgot something

Last weekend, my family went to Memphis to attend Memphis in May which is a national barbeque competition.  My husband is a HUGE barbequer/smoker of meat and whenever we travel he HAS to find the local “great” barbeque restaurant so that we can sample.  Needless to say…we went to the event anticipating sampling some awesome…
