Wifey 101: Ignoring It Will Not Make It Go Away

This Wifey 101 post is for the men. That’s right, I have male readers out there…so I figure I will write this one for you. This post is in honor of Captain Awesome. He is the king of wishing that I will just forget about things, and that they will go away. But [...]

We've All Got A Story To Tell

Blogaversary week is over, and I wanted to thank everyone who stopped by with good wishes! I truly do appreciate it! Now its time for new beginnings…. it’s time that I hear from you! Captain Awesome had a great idea. He said that I should reach out to you, my readers to ask [...]

Wifey 101:Guys Are Clueless Sometimes

 

 

So these past few days I have really enjoyed reading posts about what other people do or don’t do for Valentine’s day. There are some that LOVE the holiday and some that HATE it. Some people celebrate some people don’t. Some people have men in their lives that plan out insanly [...]

Sucker Punch to the Gut

I experienced a bit of a sucker punch today when I looked at the calendar and realized that January is almost over. This means that had I not had a miscarriage this past summer, I would be EXTREMELY close to my due date of February 13th. I can’t believe that it’s been almost [...]

The Childless Years

I  have been with my husband for almost 9 years (nine years this March), living together for most of those 9 years (Yes I know that’s a sin) , and married for over a year and a half. We bought the house we currently live in 1 year before we actually said “I do”, so when [...]

Dinner And Dancing

I have always love going out to dinner. It doesn’t matter where we go..it could be Friendlys’ (my favorite) or Friday’s…I just like the actual ACT of going out. Sometimes, when I watch old movies or TV shows I find myself longing to be transported back in time to the days of Ricki [...]

Soundtrack of My Life

This may sound strange, but I sometimes like to think about what song would be playing at certain moments if my life had it’s own soundtrack. Like in the movies when there is a really happy moment, or a really sad one, they play a certain song that seems to tie it all together. I [...]

Am I Really That Horrible of a Wife?

I will admit here and now that I really want to be a good wife. I try to be as domestic as I can, and I honestly do care about what my husband wants. Post college I finally realized what I was meant to do with my life, and that was to be [...]

Visiting New Years Past

This year The Captain and I will be celebrating our 10th New Years Eve together! That will be a decade of New years! I decided to get nostalgic and look through old albums. Sometimes I forget we’ve been together so long! I guess over time the years blend together, but it was fun to look back on some [...]

Sometimes Life Is Like A Dream

In our lives we live through good dreams and bad dreams. We hope that most of our days will be filled with good days but sometimes we don’t have a say. One dream like event for me was my wedding. It was all I could’ve ever dreamed of. It all fit to my [...]
