Kerri’s brother just headed to the Middle East earlier this week. He is leaving behind a wife and son. On the one hand it seems a bit cruel for him to depart only days before Christmas, but we know it is thus so that another soldier who has been away for twelve months or more […]

It’s time to share some favorite Christmas Love Songs! Of course, you have to start with Elvis and Blue Christmas. I could listen to him sing all day!
Let it Snow–Really makes me wish we had a working fireplace again!
The Christmas Song (aka Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)–Though not explicitly a love song, […]
We’re less than a week from the Christmas festivities, and our plans are starting to take shape. This is the first Christmas since our first that we’ve have both sides of the extended family in town. (Go here for more details.) So, the inevitable questions are arising: What do we do? When and where do […]
Some say cavalry and others claim
Infantry or a fleet of long oars
Is the supreme sight on the black earth.
I say it is
The one you love.

May the nights be honey-sweet for us.
May the mornings be honey-sweet for us.
May the plants be honey-sweet for us.
May the […]
OK, while writing my “Go-To” Gift Lists the other night, I noticed something. A key… THE key, if you will, to getting your spouse a good gift. I almost said the perfect gift, but perfect is quite the claim. I’ll say “good” and leave it at that.
Now, if you in fact have found the perfect […]
So, I’d mentioned that we’d wanted to take a trip to celebrate our 10th anniversary, but that it looked like we wouldn’t make it this year. Surprise!!! We’re actually going to be able to get away for a few days together this week, a hopefully relaxing escape before heading into the craziness of […]
Funny thing happened on the way home from the hairdressers….
So, I got most of my hair chopped off last week. I went to the hairdressers for a color (that actually matched my roots so I can maybe just let my grays grow in) and a trim. I came home with about 6-8 inches […]
Like many of you, we’re smack in the middle of holiday preparations, and that includes getting all of the shopping done for the friends and family on our list.
When we first were married, I took the brunt of the responsibilities for the shopping. It’s nerve wracking enough being a new bride, but trying to […]
