Marriage: The Bride

Marriage_ The Bride

The bride! Didn't we all just dream of being one when were little girls? I sure did! Growing up my dad's aunt owned a bridal store and I loved whenever we stopped in to see her. I would wander through the store and choose my favorite dress. Ruffles, lace, long trains...it was a beautiful in the eyes of a little girl. And then there was Barbie and Ken. Barbie always looked so beautiful in her wedding gowns. Dreams of brides run deep in a girl's heart wouldn't you agree? And then you become a ... Continue Reading...

Marriage: The Spouse

I was hoping to share more about Re|engage today but it was canceled last Thursday. Nothing like the threat of snow and/or ice to shut down evening events in Texas. We can barely drive in the rain which means any form of winter precipitation is a cause for concern and caution. But, that doesn't mean I'm void of a marriage post this week. I have been pondering some things about my husband and my attitude. This week it's about the spouse. Friends, my husband isn't a perfect guy and I'm far from ... Continue Reading...

I'm trusting you have much to be thankful for and this holiday just added more to that life category. I was a little under the weather last week and missed a couple of days of work. I got a couple of meds and was feeling more chipper by Thanksgiving Day. We did our volunteer gig and decided that next year we need to up our game on that day by staying ... Continue Reading...

Sometimes I Don’t See Clearly

Yay, for Thanksgiving Week! When I was teaching this was a favorite week because we were off of school. It was such a great time to be with loved ones around the table eating turkey with all the trimmings and then get it gear for Christmas. One of the perks I definitely miss from the world of education. But regardless, yay that this week has arrived and it's a short one on the work calendar. I hope this post finds you gearing up to embrace all of the holiday with its moments of overeating ... Continue Reading...
