Once upon a time, there was this girl. And she married this boy. And things were good. It didn’t hurt that he had killer biceps, ofcourse. And although they faced trials and challenges, just like anybody, they basically, after awhile, found themselves in a great place. They had three beautiful kids, a wonderful military career [...]
Unbeknownst to me, one of Brayden’s classmates fathers (clear as mud?) works for a high-end American consumer retail company that sells kitchen wares, furniture and linens, as well as other housewares and home furnishings, along with a variety of specialty foods, soaps and lotions. For privacy purposes I won’t say their name, but it rhymes with [...]
So, like many (most? all?) public schools in America, the kids’ school here is contracted with a company called Lifetouch who comes to the school to take individual photos in the fall, and individual and class photos in the spring.

Primarily because I took over 2000 ( !! ) photos of other people’s kids last week, playing numerous volleyball and football games, which was pretty much awesome, because every single game [...]
So, its been almost, close to, probably over a month since I updated last. LIFE just sort of got in the way. I guess that happens sometimes. Then yesterday I received e-mail notice that my annual website service for this blog was being renewed (why, hello Mastercard!) and that was the prompt I needed to [...]
Considering the kids and I have been home from our Virginia beach vacation almost a month now, I guess I better finish up my journaling and photos of the trip, before the memories fade as quickly as my tan did. At this stage, we’re up to Day 3 now. Or maybe 4. I honestly don’t [...]
