Today dawned cold and rainy, but we’re celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Even the pastor thanked those of us at the 7 am sunrise service for not hitting snooze and going to the 11 am service. We’re off to brunch with the in-laws at Hilltop House, so enjoy my two favorite Easter hymns. Hope everyone has a blessed and safe Easter!
Oooh, another Liebster Award
The lovely Pam at The Patriotic Pam also nominated me for a Liebster Award. I’m a bit behind with posting because of my work schedule. The Liebster Award is given by bloggers to bloggers who have less than 200 followers. I found it hard to look at the number of followers given all the different ways we connect these days (Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc.) but I know you’ll like the… View Post »
Happy Birthday
Today is my beloved’s 27th birthday. Mac spent his last night in his mid-20s playing Lego Harry Potter. This included him running over Malfoy with a train because I asked him to. True love, y’all. Hard to believe that our first date was four years ago on his 23rd birthday. Sadly, the restaurant where we had our $7 first date (Backstreet’s) is now closing. I thought I was hilarious with… View Post »
Sleeping styles
One of the many joys of living with the man who promised to love you forever is sharing a bed with him every night the Army lets him come home. When we started dating, I spent pretty much every night until the end of that semester at Mac’s apartment, so we quickly discovered each other’s sleeping styles. In general, we try to respect the “yours” and “mine” sides of the… View Post »
Accident or grand design
Do you ever wonder how you and your spouse wound up together? Like how in the grand scheme of the whole world y’all met and fell in love? It’s funny how those things can work out. Mac and I had a fair number of friends in common and even attended the same parties, but it took us over a year to meet. I’m slightly out the picture next to the… View Post »

Army dating
I think an important aspect of every relationship is dating. Married, dating, kids, no kids, fur babies. You need to take time for just y’all. But dating an Army man in an Army town can be quite the endeavor. We might be going out with two other couples tonight. First off, you don’t go out on payday or on the weekend of payday. It’s a sad state that so many… View Post »
Growing the bloggy blog
I made growing my blog to a point of creating income one of my 25for25 goals. Since January, I’ve added almost 50 followers and have increased my page views to around 3000 a month. So I’m sharing some tips to help my fellow small bloggers out there grow, too. Not that anyone asked for my advice. – Educate yourself about blogging. Maybe you created a blog on a whim one day… View Post »
