If you read my post titled “Why My Husband Turned Down a $300,000-A-Year Job,” after seeing this week’s title, you might think we’re into the practice of habitually turning down money 😂. Or at the very least, that we might be a little bit off our rockers. Well, I can assure you neither is true, […]
Micah Broke His Leg!
All I heard was his blood-curdling scream. I sprinted out of the car, where I was resting, over to where DJ and my mom were standing. “What happened?!” I asked DJ as he held a very distressed Micah in his arms. “He’s fine,” DJ replied, in an attempt to keep everyone calm. […]
Why My Husband Turned Down a $300,000-A-Year Job!!!
So…how did it go?” I eagerly asked. My husband had just finished his second interview for a position to which he had recently applied. In typical DJ fashion, he responded “What interview?” He always likes to hold out when I’m anxious for information, just to see me squirm. “Come on!” I replied. He laughed, then […]
Moving Day
For those who have been following along, you may remember my blog post “Our Weekend Trip to North Carolina,” where I spoke about our love for North Carolina and desire to move there, but knowing that at that moment, it wasn’t the right time. I can’t explain how or why we got to the point […]
We’re Pregnant and We’re Having a Girl!
You may or may not remember the post I wrote a while back about my itch to have another baby (“Time For Another Baby???”). At that time, I was mosquito-bite itchy and my husband was not—in any way, shape, or form 😜. Well, fast forward a few months, and we both started to realize that […]
We Moved to North Carolina and The Feds Seized Our Money!
What’s wrong?” I asked. I looked at my husband as he sat on the floor of our closet, surrounded by clothes and shoes. I had just run upstairs to check on him since I hadn’t heard from him in a while. Micah was downstairs eating his dinner. He looked at me with a strange look […]
New Things and Impossible Dreams
Ever since my husband and I met at the tender young ages of 17 and 18, we’ve always had the amazing ability to talk to each other for hours on end (Read about how we met here). Our personal best was over 9 hours spent on the phone, talking until the sun came up around […]
I Just Started Taking this Exercise Super Pill!
If exercise could be packed into a pill, it would be the single most widely prescribed and beneficial medicine in the nation. -Dr. Robert Butler, founder of the National Institute on Aging That single statement was the motivator that finally got me to the place where I was ready to work. Shortly after having […]
Journey to a Healthy Home: How I’m Getting Rid of Toxic Chemicals in Everyday Household Items
Being raised a vegetarian, I’ve long been aware of the importance of what we put into our bodies. As a society, we’re often educated about the importance of eating balanced meals, limiting refined sugars, and cutting back on processed foods. But what about what we put onto our bodies? It’s easy to forget that our […]
Micah was Sick on Thanksgiving!
Two weeks ago, I spoke about my excitement in being able to share with everyone again, and then I went silent one week later. So, I just wanted to take some time to update you on what’s been happening. Last week Sunday, Micah came down with his first cold 😢! As usual, I took […]
