Nick turned 9 over this past weekend. NINE!!!! He had 6 of his classmates over for his party. I had SOOO much fun watching these boys play ball & wrestle each other onto the grass outside. They were laughing & goofing off & just being kids, yet I found myself imagining them in high school. [...]

Good Night!

Say your prayers little one
don’t forget, my son

enter night
take my hand
off to never never land
something’s wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren’t of snow white
dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon’s [...]

When one door closes the other door closes.
Absence makes the heart beat.
Actions speak louder than us.
Never judge a book [...]

It’s been a busy week at home and at work. Soccer season kicked off this Saturday, with both of my kids playing again. Their games overlapped, so I only watched Jess’ game, since Dwight is Nick’s coach. Nick later came down with a fever, so I am home with him for the afternoon. Dwight was [...]

Dear Jordan Knight,

Posted by: beaner927 on: April 2, 2008

You don’t know how excited you have made me! I know it’s been a looong time since I’ve though about you, but just hearing that you & the other ‘New Kids’ will be announcing your Reunion Tour has brought me right back to High School! I feel so giddy remembering my love for you – [...]
