Prince Charming was late… but he eventually showed up.

Don’t tell him I said this, but I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to my husband. There is no one else on the planet who “gets me” the way that this wonderful man does. We just fit… and we balance each other so well. He’s an amazing man. Watching him […]

Scene: The front porch. Handsome Hubby is getting ready to leave for work. We briefly touch on some of the things we need to do/buy/pack for our upcoming camping trip. Me: “I need to pick up a couple of things at Kohl’s… like a rash guard for Grant, etc.” HH: “You already bought a rash […]

OK Dear Readers… a first for me. Please give a warm welcome to my first ever, guest blogger… My Handsome Hubby, or as you may know him: HH. This is his message to his father for Father’s Day: Dad, More and more, as I raise my boys, I find myself thinking of the same scenes […]

My husband keeps my feet warm.

April 12, 2010 25 Comments

I have said before that my marriage is based on love, trust, respect… and the laughter that can come with totally screwing with the other person. Sometimes it is a big thing. Sometimes it’s the little things. Once when Handsome Hubby and I were out to dinner (at a very nice restaurant) we ordered a […]

Always carry a corkscrew, and the wine will provide itself.

January 9, 2010 20 Comments

I love can’t live without enjoy a glass (or two) of wine each night. What I really love? Sharing a bottle of wine with Handsome Hubby. Whenever we do this, I consider it a special occasion. Therefore, each time we open a bottle together (and finish it together) I save the cork. I keep them […]

(As you read this, please remember that one of our boys is named Mitchell….) Grant and Handsome Hubby were playing with some toy planes. Many of them are replicas of WWII war planes. As they were playing with them, HH was telling Grant the names of the planes (i.e. “This is an A-10 Warthog” or […]

Conner will not get out of bed in the morning.He has AC-DC’s Back In Black album in his CD alarm clock… Blaring.Nope. He’ll lay there, bleary eyed and listening, but he won’t get out of bed. He’s gotten up to “make his bed” (can you see my “air quotes” here?) but all he does is […]

My favorite Mother’s Day gift. Ever.

May 7, 2009 19 Comments

June 2007 – my favorite photo. It’s the wallpaper on my computer… The best Mother’s Day gift I ever received was in 2003. It is a typed transcript of the conversation where my husband and our three oldest boys tried to decide what to get me. Devin was 10, Conner was 6 and Mitch was […]

My Prom? Just like “Carrie” but without the pig blood.

May 4, 2009 20 Comments

This is a story of my Senior Prom and how much it sucked.  It’s long, but at the end of this post you’ll be glad you weren’t my date. Let me just say on the front end of this story that I was practically able to laugh about most of this while it was happening. […]
