Valentine’s Day is usually a big deal at our house. I have always loved Valentine’s Day–the colors, hearts, chocolate, romance. . . . What’s not to like? At the beginning of our marriage, I think my attitude was typical. Though I loved doing something special for my husband, the real excitement was: What was he… [continue reading]
The Unsubmissive Wife
It all started when we were in the process of buying our house when we were living in the Dallas area. The previous owner had long since moved out, but the tenant had left a house full of unwanted furniture and personal items. There was a plastic playscape in the front yard to one side… [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]
Sometimes he makes me crazy
Jason called from work that he had a migraine. When we first moved to the area he was working downtown Dallas, and I told him that if he was going to get a job working there he’d have to find a way home himself when he had a migraine–and I wasn’t kidding! But now he… [continue reading]
You said what?
My husband has accepted a position at a new engineering firm. I am really sad to see him leave his job of over eight years because he has enjoyed it all these years, but a growing family and things such as BILLS drove him to interview in search of a salary increase. He has had… [continue reading]

What? You want more children? That is the question, isn’t it, for any family that has more than two or three? Some people ask it out loud and aghast while others are just pleasantly curious. Though some argue that it’s none of anyone’s business, personally, the questions don’t bother me. I’m pretty inquisitive myself, and… [continue reading]
I Kissed Dating Goodbye
This time of year I see so many dating ideas going around, and I think that’s great! But yes, I kissed dating goodbye. Sound kind of funny coming from a married woman? I majored in Biblical Counseling at the small Bible college that I attended. So as a part of the program marriage was a… [continue reading]
Pitch a fit
It was me. I pitched a fit. My husband was standing behind me telling me what to do. I was trying so hard to get it right. He was making me very nervous with the things he kept calling out for me to do. Though I was trying, I just knew I’d end up with… [continue reading]
Marriage: Gotta Laugh!
While Jason was home during our Christmas/New Year vacation, he tried to get some things done around the house when we weren’t playing games. A piece of the floor had come off months before and he had thought he’d get a new one since the existing one was very scratched up, but with all the… [continue reading]
No Gifts for Christmas
This year we didn’t buy Christmas presents–at all. That seems so strange…and it’s my family! We haven’t ever spent a lot of money on Christmas presents, but we usually get each of the kids one gift spending around $20 per child. Sometimes Jason and I will buy gifts for each other and some times we… [continue reading]
