For the past few weeks, we have been looking forward to Friday. It was Take Your Kids to Work Day at my husband’s company. When we got the agenda for the day, the excitement started brewing. I guess I should mention that my husband works at a company that makes toys! They had set up…
After such a difficult year for Kent trying to recover from his shoulder injury, we had a lot to be thankful for this Father’s Day. It was great to see him looking healthy and back to his old self when we took this photo with the kids. I’m so thankful for what an amazing father…
Kent’s parents came for the weekend to watch Matthew in one of his last baseball games of the season. The men were all dressed in support of the Nationals! I haven’t moved these photos over yet! You can view them on my old photo page.
… my husband’s would be in the Super Bowl. I guess that’s the best way to sum up what we have learned the past four weeks about Capable Dad’s amazing superpower. His body works harder than the average person at trying to heal itself. His body forms scar tissue at an incredibly fast pace. Now, this…
There are so many other things I could write about that happened during the next two years. We would go to extremes to see each other. At least once a month, he would call me on a Friday and tell me he was headed my way. He could drive the 590 miles in about 10…

I had my modem set to check my e-mail once an hour. Many times I couldn’t wait though for the computer to wake up from its sleep and the modem to start its screeching. I had put myself OUT there, and I was a nervous wreck. About 24 hours later, I heard that familiar voice….
I had only set up my very first e-mail account a few months before that. I was in the habit of asking people, “Do you have an e-mail address?” just as a novelty back then. I was always happy when someone wanted my e-mail address, but I was especially curious about this request. My husband and I…
Thinking back, I guess it had to be that way. I might not have ever wanted to take a risk if it hadn’t been for that lie. I was 26 and had kind of lost faith in the male species that God had placed on planet Earth. For several years, I had simply gotten into…
