So the my celebrating life day has come and gone and this particular day was incredibly celebratory for me because it is the beginning of a new life for me. Tomorrow is my official last day at the place I worked for most of my late 20s. Next week I once again start classes and become [...]

Chanda joked this morning that maybe I should blog again and I know it has been awhile. Life took over and needless to say blogging went to the bottom of my list. But here we are. It has been 6 months since we began our journey and my 30 weeks are coming to an end. [...]

It’s been a weird day. I’ve floated between being on cloud 9 and being totally down in the dumps. My husband gave me a Cricut - which [...]

Since I have been celebrating, reminding and basically harassing people about turning 30 all of 2007, one would think that I would be better prepared. But the day has come for me to let my 20s go and head into full adulthood. Though officially I became an adult at 18, 30 always seemed like the [...]

Having a December birthday sucks especially if you are within days of the holidays. I know I sound like I a greedy 10 year old but people think they can give you ONE gift for Christmas AND your birthday (something they would never even think to do if your birthday was in September, April, August, or June).
