Marriage

As if it weren’t bad enough that Adam recently took a job an hour and twenty minutes away (his previous commute was 2 minutes!!), now he has the NERVE to go on a 3 day business trip!!!! Did he forget that the TWO of us are already over powered by THREE mini-monsters?!?! So now he wanted to make the ratio […]

When my husband came home after his interview, he had an extra bounce in his step. He was excited in a way that I hadn’t seen in a long time. I felt a huge lump in the back of my throat, similar to the one I have today. This last week Adam stayed home, he is in between his old […]

As Adam’s start date is quickly approaching, I’m gathering up the arsenal to handle a change of this magnitude.

The worst part of Adam working so close to home, besides the difficulty in maintaining a “relationship” with the gardener ;), was that he never could have a snow day.

When I was working, I experienced major Sunday night blues. I would cry and feel completely depressed about the prospect of going the whole week without solid time with my kids until the following weekend. I always thought that not working would give me the chance to get rid of those Sunday night blues. What I have now realized is […]

Well, I did it. I had a baby, rested up, hit the gym hard and crossed the finish line yesterday. And I, of course, had many thoughts on the matter… For one, running is sorta like pregnancy and childbirth. I spend the majority of the time hating how I feel, all culminating to one enormous pain (in this case it […]

The truth is that I really like my husband. I definitely love him like I’m supposed to but I also really like him. And sometimes it takes a picture like this to make you see it captured so beautifully in front of you. This was taken courtesy of Ben and Sarit’s wedding (thanks guys) where we had the rare opportunity […]
