Marriage

He did it! My amazing husband, the best father in the world, the man who at one point couldn’t run a mile let alone nine of them, did what some would say was the impossible! He finished the Hot Chocolate 15k in record time!! And although we took this opportunity to really do something for Dad, make a weekend out […]

Adam has this ability…let’s say talent, for turning “it” off. This seems to work when the television is on, any program will do, or when it’s time to go to sleep. There have been many times I have been frustrated with this trip he takes to “Adam land” but the truth is that I’m jealous. I have ants in my […]

For somebody with a lot on her plate who gets easily anxious and overwhelmed, I feel like I have this wedding planning thing down to a stress-free science. I seem to have subconsciously devised a plan for making every decision that has needed to be made so far– and mind you, I am one of the most indecisive people on […]

It started out slowly. I had a friend, Adam had a friend, we introduced them…years later they are married with one kid and one kid on […]

I recently read this blog (special thanks to FB friend for re-posting). The jist of the blog is how very important the spousal relationship is while parenting and the need to tend to it even if it means getting a babysitter and doing your own thing. I absolutely agree with that, however, my life and my approach is totally different. […]

Tonight marks the beginning of Adam’s birthday celebrations. We are headed to Milwaukee to catch Daniel Tosh perform his comedy routine. Some of you may know him from Tosh.O. And so starts the pressure. Adam is a totally low maintenance, easy to please kinda guy. He usually lays out what he would like (i.e. Police tickets, Neil Young tickets, Cubs […]

I cannot remember a time in my life where I could make decisions or choices thinking only of myself. I went from my parents’ home, and influence, almost directly to Adam’s. I never spent an adult moment completely independent. We (both Single Gal and I) have talked so much about the grass being greener on the other side of the […]
