My heart is overflowing! I’m getting a sister-in-law! My brother Jacob asked his longtime girlfriend Morgan to marry him last weekend. She said yes.
I love Morgan dearly. Jacob is ok, too. Really and truly, I could not pick a better-suited, lovely woman to join our family. Emily and I feel like we won [...]
October 6th, 2010 | by Jessie | I’m back to writing about the weekend vacation that happened over a month ago. Little happens in my life, ok?
One thing we did this time we were in South Dakota that we didn’t do last time we were there, was visit the Badlands.
We drove a really long time to get there, but when [...]
October 4th, 2010 | by Jessie | I am running in the IMT Des Moines Half Marathon in a few weeks. My running partner Shanlyn and I have been training since June. We were following our training plan to a T. Were being the operative word. The plan we were/are following was the one from the IMT marathon website. We found through [...]
October 3rd, 2010 | by Jessie | Yes, I’m still blogging about our Labor Day trip to South Dakota, why do you ask?
(Oh, brother.)
I still have some pictures I’d like to share, that’s why.
This picture was taken right as we were entering the park. You’ll have to take my word for it. It was a brilliant day: [...]
September 24th, 2010 | by Jessie | I have more I want to share about our recent trip to South Dakota’s beautiful Black Hills region.
We stayed at the same place we stayed two years ago. It’s called Mystery Mountain Resort. I don’t know about you, but when I hear the word resort I think of a tropical getaway, an all-inclusive luxury [...]

Happy birthday, my man.
It’s intimidating to sit down intending to write about you and how much I value you. I nearly stop before I even begin. Nearly. Aren’t you glad? My point is – there is so much to say, so much of it already said, and still more that will bear repeating [...]
September 19th, 2010 | by Jessie | “Getting there is half the fun.” – An Idiot
Our family – extended family – took a really fun trip to the Black Hills over Labor Day weekend. But, I would venture a guess that significantly more than 50% of our fun occurred once we were there.
It’s tricky though, travelling with 3 cars and [...]
September 10th, 2010 | by Jessie | Last week when I went out to eat with some of my girlfriends, Josh – being home alone with the boys – thought it’d be a good night for hair cuts. For all of ‘em. Including the baby.
This was not discussed with me ahead of time.
So, when I was eating and gabbing, [...]
September 10th, 2010 | by Jessie | Happy birthday, Jacob! I hope you have a wonderful day.
You’re 24! I remember when I was 24… barely. I popped out my second kid when I was 24… what have you done lately?
Oh yeah, you’ve been working on your “thesis” for your “masters” in “structural engineering”. Pshhhh. Whateves. I guess that’s cool, [...]
September 6th, 2010 | by Jessie | A couple of weeks ago, my family gathered at Smokey Row in Des Moines for two purposes:
1) to celebrate my sister Emily’s birthday, and
2) to listen to our friend Kelly tell about her recent trip to Israel…
- oh ok, three purposes –
3) to eat.
If that doesn’t call for the [...]
