After the year we’ve had I didn’t think we would make it this far but we did it! *Victory lap and high fives for all* H and I celebrate our ten year anniversary today. Ten years ago at 7 p.m. PST we said, “I do” in front of friends, family and a minister we met [...]
I woke up this morning in Cheyenne, Wyoming. No, this isn’t some other installment of the Hangover. I don’t have the stamina for that sort of folly these days. I like my sleep a little too much and a bit more than I like my tequila. Most days. My first thought was not, “Cheyenne, shit“* [...]
OK. So I’m not giving away free counseling sessions or anything like that. But I realized yesterday that frequently people ask me, “How is marriage counseling going these days?” Yes, people do really ask me this.

H asked me this question recently, “Does it always have to be this hard? Will it ever get easier?” I took him to mean our life as a whole and hopefully not just our marriage or parenting because man, once you put those two together it is just downright exhausting. They say the Army is [...]

Someone said to me recently, “You have to start being really careful about what you put on Facebook.” And no, it wasn’t my mother that said this. When I asked what this person was talking about it all had to do with Words. Of course. Except, here is the thing, Facebook picks up my blog. [...]
Y’all, I don’t even know what to say. You have been so kind. Your emails, tweets, FB posts and comments are all so touching. People have offered up their homes and hearts to me in the last few days and it shows a greatness of spirit that is magnificient. Geez, I’m starting to sound like [...]
Words. They are powerful. Once they are said you can’t take them back. They float out there and then immerse themselves into your brain and your heart and live there forever taking up a permanent residence. Words can take away love. Words can break a trust. Words wound and slash away at memories, clouding the [...]
I feel I have been so serious lately. I’ve been focused on getting back to work, getting back into shape, getting into being the mother of three instead of just two little girls. It is all so time consuming. Such a massive run around that has me dedicating a lot of time to my own [...]
