Remember this gem from last summer? Well, more good times are soon to be had with this crew. Needless to say, one of us who happens to lean more to the type A side of the spectrum has been busy planning, packing and communicating. No specifics until we can show you photos later, but [...]

Reunited
May 21, 2009At work early and Jonathan is a genius
May 12, 2009My boss is having a breakfast meeting this morning and I received a somewhat panicked phone call yesterday afternoon from one of the other admin asking what I was planning for the breakfast. (Breakfast? What?) I quickly checked his calendar to see that there was a breakfast, then I said, “He usually just takes care of that [...]
Baconopolis
May 3, 2009What is Baconopolis? Baconopolis is a dream within a dream, and it is also where we went for Date Night several weeks ago. It was an event run by Mr. Tom Douglas, a Seattle-area food mogul who owns a pile of restaurants in the space of a few city blocks near the heart of downtown [...]
Musical Taste
March 27, 2009We were both given Barnes & Noble gift cards recently and decided to make the most of our Barnes and Noble club membership before it expires in a few weeks by purchasing some music. I selected Cold Play and a band I’ve only recently heard of called The Gabe Dixon Band and Jonathan added the [...]
Prepping
March 23, 2009Tonight we came home from work, ate some dinner, headed to a meeting then came home where I began to do some dishes while Jonathan started his final prep for Bible study tomorrow night. You see, he meets with a group of guys at our house on Tuesdays and they take turns teaching-this month is [...]
Meetiversary
February 24, 2009Three years ago today, Jonathan and I first met-in Brady LaMotte’s driveway. I had just finished talking with April on the phone, Brady was taking a call and it was sunny outside so I stepped out the door and this silver Honda arrives, driven by a fellow I didn’t recall meeting-but wanted to meet right [...]
The “B” word
February 4, 2009Jonathan and I aren’t what you might call extravagant spenders. Well, I guess everything is relative, right? Regardless, we’re in a spot where we’d like to be able to save more and spend less. That means BUDGET. We’re already saving a great deal, but there are always places that we could trim. I’ve used the [...]
New recipe and a bit of an experiment
January 28, 2009The February 2009 issue of Every Day with Rachael Rayincluded a recipe that you cook in a colander! Oh my! I had to try it. That, and it included baby bok choy and couscous, which we enjoy. Here’s the recipe: Ingredients 1/2 cup soy sauce 6 tablespoons brown sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil One [...]
You’re not tired of hearing about Africa, right?
December 31, 2008Africa. To me it seems sort of cliché to say, We’re going on a mission trip to Africa and yet, the call was undeniable. We were going despite the timing and the craziness of our jobs and the fact that I had no vacation time and that I prefer to travel by myself (I know, [...]
Judy the travel nurse
December 2, 2008As Jonathan mentioned in an earlier post, we signed up for life insurance. I know, it’s big, scary and too grown up for us. We agree. Regardless, we were (rightly) advised that our insurance premiums would be higher if we waited until after we traveled this month so we signed up for some life insurance, [...]
