Married In Ohio

January The Girl got her learner’s permit and The Boy earned a scholarship to college. It really started to sink in how different things are going to be in a few years months. February Celebrated the three year anniversary of Married In Ohio. The Boy wrestled in his final wrestling meet and perhaps the last [...]

One thing that I always like about coming home is that California Girl always stops whatever she’s doing and comes to say hello. If she’s awake when I leave, I get a nice send off in the morning too. It may not seem like much; but it makes me feel warm and smushy on the [...]

I’ll pay for it with very late nights today and Monday but I took a much needed day off from work on Saturday and took California Girl out to dinner. It seems strange saying that I took a day off on Saturday but I’ve working weekends for so long, I can’t remember when my last [...]

Scroll down to view our Two For Tuesday post.

When Midwestern City Boy came home from work, he surprised me with flowers and an anniversary card. Our anniversary isn’t until Sunday, but he wrote in the card that he wanted to start the weekend on a good note. This surprise was especiallywelcome after a long, frazzling week of power interruptions and other assorted frustrating [...]

I would like to wish moms every where and especially California Girl a Happy Mothers Day. It’s late in the day that I’m posting this but that’s because we had such a wonderful weekend. I came home early from work on Friday and we got into the pool. I had to work on Saturday; but [...]
