Oh hey guys! Long time, no see — as usual. It’s like that in real life over here too. Everyone we see, it’s like OMG It’s been too long! Let’s not let so much time go by before we get together next. But it always does. You know how it is. Anyhoo, since Stevie is…

The Thanksgiving Roller Coaster
How was your Thanksgiving? Good! Oh, ours? Ours was fine. Thanks for asking. Sure, by “fine” I might also mean “we survived”. Stevie had 5 days off of school, so. You know. No comment. And this evening, when I turned off the last of my weekend TV shows and realized the new week was starting,…
Thanksgiving Home Away From Home
Too much food. The first words that came to mind thinking about our trip to Utah. Seriously, though. Still full. But also: laughter, beauty, nostalgia, happiness, frustration and a little bit of heartache all rolled into one big group hug. We stayed up too late. Woke up too early. Made too many dirty jokes. Enjoyed…
Thanksgiving Plans vs. Reality
The Good News: Paul had the whole week of Thanksgiving off. The Plan: Relax! We would drop Stevie off at school and go see movies. We would pick him up and go play. We would get lots of rest. We would go on a couple dates. Eat yummy food and maybe pretend we were somewhere…
DIY Thanksgiving Centerpiece - AKA The Thankful Tree
So I guess Thankful Trees are a thing now. I had passed one up on Pinterest and thought it was a cute idea. Maybe a blog reader or two haven’t seen these yet. When I first decided to make one, I thought “Where can I buy sticks?” (And that just shows you how my brain…
Have Thanksgiving, Will Travel
Thanksgiving 2012 was so busy and so fun. The last few years we have been spoiled rotten and had two Thanksgiving dinners. One in San Diego with Paul’s relatives on the actual day, and then one at my mom’s house in So Utah over the weekend. The biggest downfall of having two Thanksgivings? All. That.…
Grateful
This Thanksgiving was so much fun, I honestly forgot to take time and reflect on all I was thankful for. Lame! But I guess I can say I’m really thankful for these good times! They help pull me through what I have called a “rough year”. Of course, every year has its own challenges, but…
Falling Behind
Well things have been busy, to say the least. Luckily my 30/30 photography promotion has been a success, but it has also taken up so much time that other things are falling to the wayside. For instance: I was supposed to have our other two rooms painted by Thanksgiving. Haven’t started the office yet and…
Cowboys Wear Them Hollisters...
Paul and I arrived in Southern Utah on Thursday in the late afternoon. We didn’t miss Thanksgiving because my Mom usually prepares the meal on Saturday to make sure that everyone has plenty of time to get there and we can enjoy each other’s company before pigging out. Works for me. And enjoy each other’s…
