Much of our back yard is coated in mulberries. They are delicious. And messy. Very messy. My flips flops are stained. So are my ankles. And no wonder all the bird poop is purple. Now if only the tree branches were lower to the ground. Apparently my husband knows the trick to collecting this elusive […]
The One in the Jean Skirt
Kevin wanted to go see Transformers. So did I. But we don’t like spending obscene amounts of money in theaters. I did some research. Found a fairly inexpensive theater 45 min. away. Remembered I had a gift card for that branch of theaters. A two year old gift card was finally coming in handy. You […]
The One with an Overheated Fish
Biking to the library that is just 3 miles from our home, signing up for library cards, chatting with the librarian, and getting familiar with the quaint book and resource emporium was the best date ever. Ok, maybe not ever, but it was free and it was really super fun. We looked through the movies […]
The One with [DQ] Blizzards
fresh cilantro is the bomb. breezes blowing through the house is appreciated. great times had at Chris & Katie Thomas’s wedding. having the wedding pictures deleted from my camera is not a good thing. (Dad E., can anything be done?!) why am I watching the US Open? like father like daughter I guess. rearranged basement […]
The One with the Strawberries
Listening to God’s prodding reaps positive results. Funny how that works. It’s like St. Ignatius of Loyola said, “Sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants is our deepest happiness.” David Benner adds to that, “Until I am absolutely convinced of this I will do everything I can to keep my hands on the […]
The One with (another) Wedding
It’s been a great couple of days. Not only has the weather been ideal for my preferences, but we’ve enjoyed a wedding, a children’s led worship service, a fantastic time with the youth group, and more. Friday evening, we traveling 20 minutes down the road to Clair & Caitlin’s wedding rehearsal. It was kind of […]
The One with the Crazy Rants
So I’m just wondering…has anyone figured out why there is the “me” included in my blog address? Well, besides the fact that adorkable.blogspot.com was already taken…by some teenager who posted once. four years ago. about her lame boyfriend. Geez, I was a bit irritated when I found that out. What a waste of a perfectly […]
The One where the Game is Over and I Can Go to Bed
It’s after 10pm and I’m tired, as per usual. But alas, I remain at my desk drowsily operating my fingers and attempting to keep my mouth from gaping open in it’s pre-sleep-getting-ready-to-salivate-all-over-my-pillow state. Gross, I know. TMI? probably. meh. I’m still awake because my husband is still awake and I have been completely spoiled this […]
The One where the Eccles Set up Camp
Before you get too far into this post, I would like to inform you that, though written in my usual style, the majority of this account is for posterity, so that Kevin and I have an account of the wonderful way we spent our first anniversary. Now, if you don’t mind length, feel free to […]
The One with the White Fluffs Floating through the Air
This week’s weather has been less than ideal, especially after coming home from a hot and steamy Florida. My perfect day would be sunny with a high 75 (ironically not because of the RK song…). Today is still is the 60s which is cool with me especially since it’s sunny and not at all lame […]
