You’ll have to forgive me. I feel like I invented chicken fried rice, and well… I did come up with this recipe on my own and I’m just giddy about it. Reasons for elation include but are not limited to: almost always having the ingredients on hand, it’s delicious, it’s cheap to make, it can [...]

Here’s my favorite new piece of furniture: Isn’t it grand? I love it! It was made and given to me by my Grandpa Bob. He was a high school shop teacher and has always enjoyed wood-working as a leisure activity. There is more to the story: this last Christmas, my dad’s side of the [...] Last night I got to have dinner with a couple of my favorite ladies! We tried Maverick’s a new Des Moines (Urbandale) eatery. Food was good, friends were better. One highlight of the night: Holly (whose 30th birthday bash I blogged about here) told of her ordeal last weekend as she was stopped for drunk [...] Most of you know my sister does free lance graphic design at Meredith in Des Moines. She mostly does work for Figure magazine, but picks up lots of other work here and there. One exciting project she was asked to be a part of was designing the large mural that hangs from one of the [...] I was baptized yesterday afternoon. The event was scheduled for two weeks ago, but was postponed due to weather. My parents came, my sister and brother (and his girlfriend) came, my in-laws, both sets of grandparents. Many friends were also there making the day so special. I was asked to give my testimony. Oh my [...] My cousin Ashleigh and her husband Derek just found out they are going to be parents! They live in Sioux Falls, SD right now, but maybe that will change. Ok, no plans are in the works, that’s just my wishful thinking. Ashleigh and Derek will celebrate their 1 year anniversary in August. The [...] Saturday was the 50th wedding anniversary of my grandparents. Sunday morning we left for Marshalltown with the kids and met the family at a restaurant for dinner. It was very good. Then onto their open house. We had a great time. The kids got a little worn out and out of control, so we had [...] I can’t cover the events of the weekend in one post! Check back this week for more of our weekend fun. The Father’s Day after Jude was born, which was also the first Father’s Day in our house, we planted a tree. Every year since, I’ve taken a Father’s Day photo with Josh and the [...] Welcome to my new blog segment called Loose Threads. Every once in awhile I’ll post miscellaneous thoughts or updates that don’t necessarily relate to each other. Just snippets that are on my mind; things going on in my world. Thanks for the input on my quilt project. I’ve decided to sew it together in the [...] Last night Dad invited us to meet him in Des Moines at Crazy Horse Guitars (by Drake) to celebrate/witness the purchase of his new guitar. Josh was too pooped to go – returning to work after a week off and little sleep the night before – he decided to stay home. I know better than [...] |
