Twenty two years! Happy anniversary to us! When I look back at how things went leading up to my husband and I meeting, I’m convinced we were meant for each other. There is much debate about whether people can just choose whoever they want, or if there is someone meant for them. I’m not making… [continue reading]
How do I love thee?
I have made it an annual practice to sit down and write out a list of things I love about my husband. I think February is the perfect time of year! This list is not exhaustive or in any particular order! 1. He lets me share stories about him! And I do always share with,… [continue reading]
Bloopers from Our Wedding Day
We’re celebrating 20 years married today! What better way that to remember what all went wrong on our wedding day? Ha ha. They say something goes wrong at every wedding… My wedding day began like most any bride’s. I was excited and nervous and worried and happy. I arrived at the church early so that… [continue reading]
Our Initiation into Parenthood
It was at the hospital after the birth of our first child that I first realized what a sound sleeper my husband is. I don’t remember what it was I needed, but I kept pushing the nurse’s button and nothing was happening. I tried calling Jason, who was asleep on a pull out chair beside… [continue reading]
Keep the fun in marriage!
My engineer, I love him. I think we balance each other out. Sometimes he pulls harder his way–learning, studying, documentaries, museums. And sometimes I pull harder my way–fun, laughter, movies, theme parks. In the middle we’re a great balance. He was pulling pretty hard for some boring heady activity. That’s when I decided to lay… [continue reading]
That man–How he makes me laugh!
A sweet lady we had recently met invited my husband over to her home to give him a bicycle for the children. With five kids ages 3-14 if you’re giving anything kid related away, we can probably use it! She wrote her name and phone number on a small card and said to just call… [continue reading]
What he said this time
Marriage is a fun, crazy adventure, but if you don’t keep your sense of humor you’ll go nuts. What my husband said this time… We had spent several days in the sun at water parks, theme parks, pools etc. I was exhausted. It seemed to me though that I was much, much more tired than… [continue reading]

Should every Christian learn Greek?
For years it was a daily goal of mine to make my husband laugh. He made me laugh all the time, but he seldom laughed himself. “I don’t know how to laugh,” he would say. So each day I would try and try to make him laugh. I just can’t imagine life without laughter. Recently… [continue reading]
Keeps No Record of Wrongs
Jason and I are reading a book on marriage together in the evening after the kids go to their rooms for the night. We read the first few chapters. Then came the chapter on the husband and what he should and shouldn’t be doing. Neither one of us said anything. We just read. Then came… [continue reading]
