It was 24 years ago that Jason and I first met! Here is the beginning of our love story: Graduated college not married? I was out of college and teaching at a small Christian school in Lincoln, Nebraska. Everyone seemed to think that it just wasn’t right that I wasn’t married yet, and they all… [continue reading]
Baking my Husband’s First Birthday Cake from Me
When we first got married, I was teaching full time and taking six graduate hours each semester, while my husband was finishing his degree. So two years later when my husband took his first job, I was able to stay home and focus my efforts on being a wife and homemaker. We didn’t have any… [continue reading]
Meant for Each Other!
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.

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]
