• I’m pretty sure God has a great sense of humor. You might be wondering what made me think this? Marriage. On our wedding day, we think we are marrying someone who is so similar to us. That’s how it was for Lance & I. We got along perfectly…we never fought.  Who needs pre-marital counseling?? (We

  • I went to bed last night knowing that I was going to have a rough day at work today.  I woke up this morning at 4 am with a pounding headache.  “What a way to start an already miserable day”, I thought as I stumbled to the kitchen in the dark. I took some medicine and

  • “I love children.” Not a statement you would expect to hear from another passenger as you struggle to keep three kids from making a scene on the plane you’re on.  But that’s exactly what the kind, elderly gentleman told me as he was waiting in line to disembark the plane once we landed.  For the

  • Have you watched the movie Ratatouille? The most memorable scene for me showed the food critic taking a bite of that dish which caused a flashback to his childhood when he enjoyed such a lovely meal.

  • Do you have an enemy? I’m pretty sure back in elementary school, I had a few “you’re not my friend anymore” situations but I don’t even know if back then, I would have said they are my enemy. Today, thankfully, I don’t have any enemies (that I know of) but I think many of us have

  • Have you ever looked at someone else and wished you could live like they did?  Like, maybe a celebrity or someone you personally know?  They seem to dress right, know the right people, and are popular. At work today, a colleague mentioned how she wanted to be best friends with a particular celebrity couple…just for

  • While on our road trip in Missouri, I was able to capture this lovely photo of my kiddos in front of the Sight and Sound Theater. They appear so sweet to me, especially as they stand in front of the statue of the Lion and the Lamb. But the pics posted on social media are
