If you are just joining me recently, I’ve spent the last two Wednesdays talking about my marriage proposal and the pre-party. Thinking back since tomorrow is our TEN year wedding anniversary. Wow. We decided to get married where Andy grew up in Kentucky. We only had 18 people at our wedding. No, that is not
Last week I talked about Andy’s marriage proposal. Feel free to go back and check that out first. This week…the pre-party. Due to all of the wedding planning chaos, we decided that the best thing for us was to completely forget the big formal wedding idea and just have a small intimate wedding in Andy’s
Later this month Andy and I will have our 10-year Wedding Anniversary. Seriously? Wow. Seems unreal at times. So the next few Whatcha Might Not Knows will be dedicated to our life 10 years ago! First up, the proposal. Andy proposed in September 2000 at Ault Park and then we went out to dinner at
Confession. I am a beer snob. Seriously. I am not proud of this and it just pains the frugal side of me. I am no longer a cheap bar date (although the number of drinks has definitely lessened!). And I blame my husband. He loves beer. And many different kinds. Any given day you’ll find
Blog Challenge Day 27: Pets Andy and I both grew up having a dog at home. And then in high school I also lived on a farm with farm dogs, barn cats, horses, etc. However, neither one of us wants a pet of our own. Too much work and too much hassle and too much shedding
Most friends and family only see me at home or in social settings…but here is how my co-workers see me every day…FOUR-eyes. Can’t do the computer screen all day long without the glasses. Blog Challenge Day 20: What are your nicknames? I used to have plenty…but currently I’m only known as the following: mom, mommy,
Blog Challenge Day 13 – Goals It’s funny that this one happened when it did. See June & Bear posted her 20 by 20 on Monday. So that had me thinking goals already! I actually got out a nice clean sheet of white paper and started my own 20 by 20 – what a great
When Spring arrives, the itch to grill-out gets out of control for me. I love being outdoors. And nothing makes me happier than spending an afternoon on our backyard patio, watching the kids run through the yard, and smelling grilled food! I’ll eat a burger, but that’s not my first choice. I would much prefer
Many of you now know that I LOVE Xavier basketball. What you might not know is that back in 2008, I was contacted by someone at Xavier with a request to be a mentor. At first I just chuckled…how could I be a mentor? I replied that it sounded like a great program, but they
Anyone remember that episode of Friends about Monica’s secret closet? Chandler discovers that there is one closet in their apartment that has never been opened. Monica claims that there’s nothing important inside, only “feminine stuff”. Later, Chandler finally opens the closet and finds out that Monica has her own “chaotic space”, as all obsessive-compulsive people
I LOVE March Madness. Next to the Tour de France it’s my favorite sport season. Although I’ve always liked basketball, I went to Xavier for 7 years (undergrad & grad) and believe my love of the sport definitely grew during that time. I think part of it was due to the fact that I was a Resident
