Our 10th Wedding Anniversary
Did you know we have been married for TEN WHOLE YEARS!? It’s really hard for me to believe, because that means we have been together for 14 and that feels B-A-N-A-N-A-S! If you have known me for the long haul I’m sure you find it as astonishing as I do. However, it’s not so crazy

Determination + Connection in a Flurry of Loss
There is something to be said for “looking back” while “looking ahead”. Over the last year I have begun to understand it’s something that is essential. As you all know, we relocated. I have been quite clear on how very hard this decision was, along with how we were resolved to the fact that it

My First Texas Birthday
I cannot stress enough how strange it is to type out the title of this post. First off, I never envisioned myself living in Texas. Secondly, I never thought I would have a birthday where I didn’t have friends to celebrate with. Lastly, I surely didn’t think that we would still be in a world

Family Celebration for 2021
Alrighty, I am almost done catching everyone up on our holiday events! (I wrote this back in January – oops!) This one was most definitely a huge success. Like most things this past year, we didn’t have any plans for ringing in the new year, but I didn’t feel like just letting it slip on

Christmas, 2020
This year Christmas looked different for us, just like it did most of the world. We didn’t plan on much other than the regular stuff: presents, food with R&R. It ended up being a really wonderful day and I enjoyed the slow pace of it all. Gil and I woke up before the kids. It
Traditional Tree Decorating
This year we were in a bit of a pickle with all things ‘Christmas Decor.’ You see, we do not have all of our belongings in San Antonio. Last spring we packed up two U-Boxes with approximately half our possessions before staging the condo for optimal sales tactics. Then, we packed up the rest in

Hello, Christmas Tree!
Alright everyone, let’s get real here. I’ve never had a ‘living’ Christmas tree before (well mostly, keep reading to see the one exception). Seemed throughout my whole childhood someone was allergic to every scent known to man; no scented flowers, no perfumes that have strong scents, no real Christmas tree…the list can go on. Also,

Christmas Eve at the San Antonio Zoo
For the next few posts, we are going back in time. We had a lot of fun with holiday activities I want to share with you. It was difficult to reserve blogging time while the all of it was going on, so here we are. I now have time to share! Lucky you and even

Goodbye, 2020
As I look back on the last year I can’t help but think about the old adage, “careful what you wish for.” My family had planned for a change. I wouldn’t say it is what we had wished for, but it was a well thought out path for our future. Even when a pandemic hit,
