So… I was listening to a song on the way to play some basketball this morning… and the words just slammed me in the face with the "power of love" (and no, I don’t mean the Huey Lewis version…) Listen… What I Would Say She was a lovely girl, a charming brown-eyed beauty You were…

You know, there are just some things in life that I could really do without. Brushing my teeth is definitely one of them. Don’t get me wrong… I enjoy the feeling and taste of a clean mouth. BUT, I just HATE standing at the sink brushing my teeth. I ALWAYS feel like I am wasting…

Was on my way to a meeting tonight and heard on the news of a set of triplets (4 years old!!!) who died in a house fire… their younger sister was critically injured and their older sister (15) was the babysitter. My heart just sank when I heard that. I don’t know them at all……

Ever since I was a kid… one of my most fun things to do was to create on the computer. I loved working in BASIC programming language – creating little games and programs… I even remember taking up ALL 16K on my TI-99/4a Computer with a program that displayed the American flag and played the…

I miss blogging. I miss my normal life. But, I have loved beyond words every minute of the past week and a half. A new daughter. LOTS of time with my two awesome boys (who LOVE this time with their dad!) A happy wife. A nice house to enjoy. Great friends who come and encourage,…
