We got tickets for the Friday night came for the Rockies vs the LA Dodgers over at Coors field. We’ve gone several times together but this was A’s first trip to the ball field. We had pretty great seats 22nd row just to side of first base. I would be lying though if I said…
Before I went out of town, my mom called and told me she needed me and A to come up for an afternoon because my birthday gift was something she needed A for. Obviously things changed a bit when I had to go out of town last minute, so we finally coordinated a different time….
Memorial Day weekend spoiled us. It was the kind of weekend where Ryan came home Thursday night and surprised us with the news he took the next day off last minute, so we could have a four-day weekend.

She’s growing before my eyes, speaking more words, learning more things every…
I’m sitting here reflecting on the week, and counting all of the blessings I encountered. Things have been tough for us with searching for a home for eighteen months, Ryan becoming burnt out at his current place of work and me wishing for nothing than him finding something he would enjoy. Anything. All last week…
I never knew how much motherhood would change me, in so many ways. We’ve talked before how we don’t really watch TV, and that usually I find myself on Twitter before turning on the news. I’ve never understood tragedy and the hate that the world has in it. It’s not something my heart has every…
