It’s Friday afternoon, and I get a text message from hubs asking if I want to watch a movie with him that night. “A movie?!” I squeal to my friend, Holly, reading the text aloud. She is appropriately excited for me. My face lights up. I am as happy as a 12th grader that just … Continued

It’s that time again! Time to list the “T.I.G.’s” for the week!

A Holiday To Remember

The past few weeks have been jam packed over here and a little bit awesome. My sweet hubs and I got to spend 4 weeks together with no school and hardly any work or responsibilities. We decided to stay in Grenada for the Christmas break and save the $2000 it would cost us to fly … Continued

2011 Resolution: How’d I do?

December 31

One of my big goals for this year was to get rid of 2,011 things, which I loudly proclaimed in this post of yore. In an effort to keep myself organized, I wrote down items as I got rid of them for most of the year, and then (if I’m being honest) played catch up for the … Continued
