Chad & I have this unspoken language between us.
For example, when we were housebreaking our sweet little leaky puppy (long before we had to housebreak our sweet little leaky kids),we would just give each other a look. We each knew we wanted to scream,”THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS TODAY! SHE DIDN’T PEE ON THE FLOOR [...]
A few weeks ago, I accomplished something I never hoped to. Especially at the age of 30.
I completed Chad’s Social Security paperwork. (Insert audience applause and cue “Eye of the Tiger”)
Not only is it complete, but I actually submitted it, folks!
I had to print eleven copies of medical release forms — because the SSA (Social [...]
This post was originally about something else. But it quickly morphed into several different topics; a stream of consciousness I guess.
And I’m just going to go with it.
Apparently, I have a lot on my mind…
The end of this year has been very hard for me.
I’m not sure exactly what it is. I felt it was [...]
My husband and I ventured out to see his neurosurgeon again last week. It’s a two-hour drive for us, so we joke that we should move closer to the hospital to save gas.

It feels freeing. It does something good for my soul. It’s all symbolic to me and I feel more connected knowing that the earth keeps on spinning and providing; just like [...]
A healthy life is a life of balance; including the ability to give and receive.

So many people in our lives wanted to help. I definitely needed the help.
But, like so many people, I didn’t know how to ask. And I [...]
My husband had his MRI last Wednesday at 11:30 in the morning.
Imagine my surprise when I received a call from his oncologist two hours later with the results!
I immediately thought the worst when I heard the oncologist’s voice. Why would he be calling so immediately? They always make us wait a week or so before [...]
When I spoke my wedding vows nearly eight years ago, I meant every word. Little did I know how much I would mean them in the years that followed.
Chad and I met at daycare in our small town. My mom and I had moved there the Summer before I started first grade, and I didn’t [...]
