13th Anniversary

Celebrating 13 years of wedded bliss. It's the little things in life that matter most. Through good and bad times, it's not the quantity of gifts or monetary items, it's the quality of time and events. Knowing that I married my best friend, my soul mate, my go to guy, makes my heart full of happiness and love. Each day is a new day. Each day is better. Each day I am grateful for this amazing man in my life. Each day I am thankful for the wonderful life we have created together.

Snow Days

Snow has covered the land for two days now. Two fun filled snow days from school, activities, and work. Chad loves to play in the snow with the girls. I prefer to watch from inside.

Mardi Gras

Manhattan isn't a small town, but it's also not a big town. Having lived here for 15 years now, raising our kids here, working here, we know people and people know us. Sometimes that is a good thing and other times that isn't such a good thing. Chad is a social person, while I am more comfortable staying home. So when a group of people we know in town decide to host an annual party, deciding whether or not to go is a tough decision. Much thought and review goes into this decision. Because this isn't just a party; this is a once in a lifetime, out of this world, beyond anything you could imagine kind of party. This year's Mardi Gras theme is based on the book "Night Circus." Chad and I asked my dad and Marie down to stay with the girls, and we ventured off to the party. Complete with circus performers, circus animals, a big top tent, costumes galore, circus treats, and live music - we had a great time! So many familiar faces, fun with friends, and a special night out with the hubs. Good memories!
