Things are moving along. Work weeks seem to be flying by, for the most part. Rolling out a new client with 109 sites across NC in the four months before the wedding will be an arduous task! But, I am up for it. The project will be complete by then end of September, hence the reason October 12th works perfectly.…

Save The Date!
Can you believe it? We went to speak to my pastor and then my therapist. <laughter> Way bak in the beginning of our relationship, I told Marty that if we were ever to marry, therapy was nonnegotiable. I explained that I would never again let anyone keep me from going to therapy nor would I let anyone make me feel…
A Baptist Boy and a Catholic Girl
The last two and a half months have been a blur. 3 dogs, 5 cats, 4 kids, and 4 adults in the same house. They closed on their new house yesterday and will be moved in by the weekend. While it has been nice to have the grands here, I am ready to get my house back. It’s been difficult…
One More Door
When my youngest was living here with me, he busted his bedroom door. When he moved out, I put a gate across the way and made it a room for the cats to hide from the dogs. Now they have the finished part of the basement to hide in. I have one really old cat, Valentine, who no longer tries…
Another Shout Out to God
I just have to give another shout out to God. Seriously- every single day, I am in awe of what He has done for me. After I purchased my flooring, my stove broke and a few days later, my dishwasher. But I tried not to worry, because God. Y’all. Work has been amazing and God has answered every single one…
Bye-bye Urine Yellow
Eighteen years I have hated this yellow room. The day we moved in back in April of 2005, I painted the green living room a beige. When I bought it, there were 3 green rooms, all different greens— variations of seafood green. Two mustard yellow rooms, one lighter than the other. A red room, a pink room, an eggshell room and…
A Thousand Little Holes
I’ve been in my house for 18 years. The 4 bedrooms have not been painted since before I moved in. This house is/was a crayon box. Bedrooms- one eggshell, one yellow, one peachy pink, and one seafoam green. The kitchen and living room were two different shades of green, I painted the living room a beige color the day we…
Niagara Falls
My 55th birthday was my best birthday ever! I was able to go back to Niagara Falls again. Until last month, I had only seen them from the Canadian side of the falls. This time, we started out in Canada and then ended up in New York on the American side of the falls. While the view from Canada is…
Festivus
Do you remember the 1997 episode of Seinfeld where George’s dad starts the new holiday, “Festivus”? George’s dad was tired of the over commercialization of Christmas, so he created a new holiday. That is what I felt like doing last week when I was sitting in church when we received the yearly reminder that it was Father’s Day. Couldn’t we…
A Dream Come True
God is SO good. I am very blessed. 7 years ago, I felt like I was thrown out like trash. But God and friends. God showed me that I am who He says I am…..and He restored me. I wasn’t sure I would make it on my own, but I had faith that with God and hard work, everything would…
