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
Happy 16th birthday to my daughter Faith today! She changed my life forever, immediately! I had absolutely no idea what I was in for… 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,… [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.

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]
You may have married an engineer if…
1. He does one thing at a time. He concentrates on one thing at a time and can uncannily tune everything else out. For example, he cannot talk on the phone and watch the children. It is very possible that while he talks on the phone, his children could be playing with sharp kitchen knives… [continue reading]
A rain jacket for our Alaskan trip
My husband is very last minute. It used to drive me crazy, but now I usually just laugh. About three days before we were to leave for our Alaskan cruise, he kicked into high gear with research and planning. “Did you know it’s supposed to be raining most of the time we’re in Alaska? We… [continue reading]
