Sarah,

Hugs, girly.  Stay strong and call anytime you feel the need.  I've been thinking about you a lot and hope things turn around soon.  I have no specific words of comfort for you right now except to let you know that I support your decisions to do what is right for you and your family.

<3 Treva

Matthew,

I got your card yesterday!  So, I was on my ( Read more... )

It hurts me when Sarah is hurting.

I'm thinking about you honey.  *hugs*

So I was looking for templates at work one day and found one for a household budget.  I downloaded it, made it work for me and sent it to my and Pete's joint email account.  I found it when May was well over half-done, so we're going to start using it in June.  I'm very excited about it b/c I want to see how we actually spend our money.  I'm not ( Read more... )

I was thinking about cutting Madelynn's hair so that she has bangs, but then I realized it's almost summer so that would be kinda silly, b/c in the summer you want as much hair off of you as possible.  So I think now we'll wait until fall and by then I may not even want to do it.  I do want to trim her hair again though b/c it's getting those ( Read more... )

It has been a most boring 3 days around here.  Not that I've been sitting around doing nothing.  Pete got some stuff to help better organize the kitchen, which gave me a fun weekend afternoon project.  This Friday is Madelynn's last day of school and there's a big school picnic at Sandy Bottom Nature Park that day.  I'm working on Saturday for ( Read more... )

I finished redoing the bathroom this past weekend.  There's not much I can do with it since it's an apartment, but we got some stuff from our registry, some pieces from friends as gifts, and I picked out the last couple of items from amazon using some giftcards.  We have a new shower curtain, liner, hooks, showerhead, decorative plates, floormat, ( Read more... )

OMG.  Another post!  Um, yeah, pretty boring week.  The house has lost 2 major and 3 minor pieces of furniture thanks to a Sudanese refugee family my church is sponsoring.  It's sooooo nice to be rid of the double sets of furniture.  We had two queen beds and two dining room tables with chairs and could only use 1 of each.  Madelynn's desk no ( Read more... )

Hello there everyone!  We have the good, the bad and the ugly.  It's a quick post, but it's a post which is more than I can for some of my past months when I took my random hiatus without warning or explanation.  So, progress!

Ugly

People who think I don't know.  I so know.  I just choose not to be a bitch about it.  I just finally figured it wasn't ( Read more... )

OH MY GOD!!! I'm posting in my journal after, like, an 8 month hiatus. Why?

Because in two days I'm getting married!

I'm so happy.  So so so so amazingly happy and excited and even though we have a major event in just a few days for work, at 4 p.m. I'm leaving here and not thinking about it again until Monday, when I will enter my office a married ( Read more... )

Wow. I actually had an entry begun on how I felt entering my 28th year of life and somehow I lost it.... Not sure exactly how, but I did. How do I feel? I'm not sure. I didn't count down the days this year, which is weird. Just this week it really hit me that my birthday was upon me. But here it is ( Read more... )
