Sincerely, Me: Tim Riggins, Will You Marry Me? →
I have already referenced my love for Friday Night Lights on this blog, but I’d also like to say that Tami Taylor is the kind of mom and wife I strive to be. I think she’s fantastic. Here’s why:
She always says the PERFECT thing.
She’s confident and level-headed.
Her daughter respects her and confides in her.
She’s classy.
She’s head over heels in...

realizing after you’ve already been at work for 3 hours that you have a baby booger on your shirt. Yes, this just happened.
Big Changes Over Here!
This has been in the works for some time now, but I can finally announce it…I am leaving Motivatit to accept an opportunity selling advertising for the cable company down here! I’ll be getting back to my roots, and slinging air time yet again. I will start the new gig on February 7th - although I’m sad to say goodbye to my oyster folks, I am very excited to jump back into...
One Space or Two?
I have always thought I had a pretty good handle on proper grammar. I am the first to criticize my hometown’s weekly newspaper for being riddled with grammatical errors and misspelled words. Today I’ve stumbled upon this article regarding the proper amount of spacing between sentences. I am certain that I was taught to put two spaces between my sentences. The typing program we used...
Home Improvement Update
Life has mostly revolved around feeding and pooping and sleeping since October 14th, so I have not gotten around to posting on the status of the new house. To be honest, we haven’t done much at all since little Rory Belle arrived.
The biggest accomplishment as-of-late is that Jeff has removed the old pink and harvest gold toilets, similar to these in the toilet graveyard:
And we have...

Dear Christina,
What a sad, sad thing that you can’t be here to see it, but you did something with your life that no politician in yours ever did or could: you unified the United States of America. Today you’re making people think more than speak. And maybe when they’re done thinking, they’ll speak differently. And then maybe after they speak differently others will want to think...
Bittersweet
This Saturday night will mark the first time I spend the night away from my baby girl. I know that Jeff will do an amazing job taking care of her for the 24 hours that I’ll be away, and I do think it will be a great bonding experience for both of them.
It’s not that I’m worried about leaving her - I am legit sad about leaving her. I know that I can’t spend every night...

Family, friends and mere acquaintances, welcome to my very own piece of the Internet. I’m sure all of you know who I am so I’ll skip the introductions. If you are unfamiliar with my history, ask me a question. You may just get a very interesting answer!
On to more important things. Why this blog?…
YAY! Morgan finally started a tumblr. She’s one of my best...
This is the truth.
Latest Read
I decided I want to start writing about the books I read, just as a way of remembering them better and reminding myself of the feelings I felt while reading each one. I just finished One Day by David Nicholls last week, and I had high expectations after hearing such great reviews on it. It is one of those rare reads that is both hilarious and heartbreaking all in one book.
I don’t want...
Rory's First Christmas
This Christmas was so special for us. Having our baby girl has been such a blessing, and spending this Christmas with her was so much fun. Of course, everyone got way out of hand with buying her presents (myself included)! Even though she has no idea what’s going on, we’ve all got lots of pictures to show her just how loved she is!
We spent Christmas Eve with my family in New...
