    Death is the worst. There is no way around that simple point. Regardless of the things that dealing with death will teach you and show you.. It’s still the worst and I long for the day when death is no more. I don’t believe I have anything profound to say about death at this point…

    November 18, 2014

    If you looked in my house right now, you wouldn’t find any fall decorations, you wouldn’t smell a pumpkin candle burning through the house, and you wouldn’t see pumpkins neatly lined up along my steps.

It is a free 3 day music festival with over 100 musicians on 7 different stages. Its a pretty big deal. We went the first year we moved here, and we vowed…

    some photos of this and that and what we do around our house ………. I try to do a craft or art activity with Mari a few times a week (I wanted to say everyday, because that was my goal, but lets be honest, that doesn’t happen everyday. Unless you consider smashing and smearing her…

    Throughout our whole relationship Casey has always loved to surprise me. Whether it be big or small, he loves to do it. He does it every chance he gets. He will surprise me in the funniest ways, like when our good friends decide the last minute to come for the weekend and I come home…
