The Dream is Free, The Hustle Sold Separately

Anticipation:

by

On a lighter note, I'm SO excited for spring! I don't feel like much of a "country girl" when I confine myself to my home, shivering and looking out at the vast expanse of snow. And usually winter is my favorite season... I love snow (in moderation), it's so pretty and fun to play in. And I used to love to drive in snow, it gave me a certain rush ...until this happened. And there's always ... [ Read More ]

Dear Uterus

by

Dear Uterus,I hate you with all the fires of hell. You have made me miserable for years, and the only thing that got me through it was knowing that it would be worth all the horrible menstral cramps and pelvic pain once I hold my own flesh and blood for the first time.  But now I know the truth about you. You've flung your Endometrial garbage all over my falopian tubes, ovaries, and even ... [ Read More ]

Full Disclosure…

by

I've come to a point where sharing my innermost thoughts may in fact be therapeutic for me, so instead of hibernating in my own pitiful darkness and shutting everyone out, I've decided to let you all in and invite you to pray for me and keep me accountable.For so long, I've been terrified to let you in on my secret. Ashamed. And since this topic is discussed so little in ... [ Read More ]

i’m going dark…

by

I'm planning to take a month-long break from blogging. The things that are currently going on in my life are neither interesting nor blog-worthy, and I just need some time to quietly reflect. There is no need to be alarmed. I'll fully update you all on any new happenings upon my return. ... [ Read More ]

Wildlife

Yet another beautiful thing about living in the country: seeing a couple bald eagles in your tree on a casual Sunday morning. They were stunning. ... [ Read More ]

An Update

by

I started a new job at McFarland clinic at the beginning of the month, and although it's a difficult job, I feel like I'm catching on and eventually I hope that I will really like it! We've been on a pretty strict budget. I try to subtly complain about it as often as possible in my postings. But really, it is exciting to see our debt getting paid down little by little. It will be so nice when we ... [ Read More ]

Blast from the Past

by

I must have started picking out my own clothes early on in life, because this scandalous halter is screaming high fashion! How cute was I?! I have no memory of this picture being taken, but I'm pretty sure at the time I was thinking Nathan's shorts were far too short for his own good.Trivia question: how many rolls did I have on each arm? ...

Power FAIL

by

If you know me at all, you know I jump at the chance for adventure. So understandably, I got a little excited when Nick and I came home to a house without electricity.However, the excitement soon faded when we realized how dark, boring and COLD our Friday night was going to be. We lit every candle in the house, which for a short second was romantic, until we remembered that it was 56 DEGREES IN ... [ Read More ]

Can You Blame Me?

by

After my Snowy Saga, I'm just not as brave as I once was. There was a day when driving in the elements gave me a certain rush, but not anymore. Based on the treacherous DOT road condition map, and the fact that all the weather stations were 'strongly discouraging travel' we decided to take heed. And so, we made cinnamon rolls from scratch, a pot of coffee, and settled in for a lazy day of watching ... [ Read More ]

It Can Be Messy

by

I asked my hottie husband what I should blog about tonight... jokingly he said "our marriage." Now, there are lots of 'married' things I withhold from my loyal blog readers, things that you really don't want to know about anyways. But sadly, I leave out many of the funny, irritating, crazy little quirks that come with the first few years of marriage.As many of you know, we just celebrated our 1st ... [ Read More ]
