A little pregnant? | The day that changed everything…

December 20, 2010 home December 20, 2010

Here’s the story of the day I found out I was pregnant…. 5:30am I get up to pee. I decide to pee on a stick. ”It’s morning so that’s the best time to test. It’s only 10-11 DPO [days past ovulation] so it’s really early but with all the symptoms I’m having, I’m testing now. Ok, tested. Nothing.” Threw test in the trash can. [5 seconds pass] “Was there a line? A faint line?” Hmmm….took the test back out of the trash. ”Well, there’s an extremely faint line….extremely! Is it there? Am I dreaming? Are my eyes blurred? It’s 5:30am. I’d better take a pic.” Grab the iPhone. Take a pic for later. 8:00am Wake up for real. Take a look at the pic. “Is ...

FIThubby | grocery part 1

August 11, 2010 marriage August 11, 2010

I say part 1 b/c I am positive that if I continue to blog about my hubby’s trips to the grocery store, there will be many more parts. Here’s how it goes… Honey, will you run to the store and get eggs? Sure babe. Then, he comes home after spending $125 (minimum). What??!! So, last Saturday night we were having friends over and due to our busy day and our busy lives we thought of food at the last minute. I made the WG Zucchini Apple Bread but thought maybe we should have some crackers and cheese or something. I send my FIThubby to the grocery store for laughing cow cheese and Kashi crackers. He buys EVERY kind of Laughing Cow cheese they have at ...

introducing FIThubby

August 5, 2010 family August 5, 2010

I was reading one of my new readers’ blogs today…. girlheroes.com where she talked about her family’s martial arts! And, I realized….I haven’t shared last weekend with you all here publicly. I have a private blog and a private FB page (for safety reasons) and I haven’t shared that my FIThubby is into MMA and specifically has been grappling and had a local tournament last weekend where HE WON ALL EIGHT MATCHES!!! I thought I’d share a few pics so you all could meet him……. introducing FIThubby!!!

Best husband ever…

March 30, 2010 competition March 30, 2010

Please keep in mind that (as my BFF says) this is his “I know I’m the shit” face….so true! And, that he just got back from a long weekend of being TDY and had flown all day (he’s a pilot…so he actually flew). He was so proud of the shirt he found and was so excited to show me as soon as he got home. I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER!!! As Jim said, this gift was “better than flowers” which I had to laugh at but also agree…I now call this shirt his “better than flowers shirt.” (I hate flowers by the way…I’ve asked him to NOT get me flowers…I hate the work, the bugs, the pollen, etc….a story for another day.) This shirt ...

Robin McGraw: Inside my heart (Choosing to live with passion and purpose)

November 22, 2009 books November 22, 2009

I got tired of typing and didn’t finish all of the great quotes from her book so please go get it!!! I really enjoyed Robin’s book and I think many of you will too. I try to find something to learn in every moment in my life and certain people have a lot to offer, especially people who have been through different phases in life ahead of me. Robin shares advice and personal experience about being a wife and mother. She shares what worked for her and I found a lot to learn from her experiences. She is a more old-fashioned wife than we are used to seeing and hearing from today. Many modern women, I believe, are afraid to care for their husbands. I ...
