My mom emailed me some photos from the last time she visited. I love being able to take advantage of her talents so often.
The summer in between high school and college I dated more than any other summer of my life. I commented to a friend how I thought it was funny that all these guys who had never taken much interest in me suddenly wanted to go out all the time, especially when the relationships couldn’t go [...]
This picture of my great grandmother sits on my dresser. When my mother first gave it to me a few years ago, I put it there simply because the frame matched the one holding a family photo and it added a nice aesthetic balance to my bedroom. Lately though, the photo has taken [...]
This year Noel’s family came to visit us for the holidays. Our guests traveled from the four corners of the earth (or at least the US) arriving from Alaska, Nevada, North Carolina, and California. We made so many trips to the airport we began contemplating buying a giant van and starting our own shuttle service.

Today we woke up to a revolution of snow, its white flag waving over everything, the landscape vanished, not a single mouse to punctuate the blankness, and beyond these windows the government buildings smothered, schools and libraries buried, the post office lost under the noiseless drift, the paths of trains softly blocked, the world fallen [...]
This year we spent Thanksgiving with my family. It was our first time driving back since we moved here and we remembered why we’ve previously chosen flying over spending 9+ hours crammed in our car. BUT, the weather was more than cooperative and the cold Wyoming wind didn’t blow us away, so we really don’t [...]

I’m generally very excited for October to be over since I don’t really get into Halloween that much and November is one of my favorite months, but this October treated us really well. A brief recap:
My sister and her husband, Joe, came to visit us.
We loved having them, although [...]
We made this last weekend a long one and took a short trip to Las Vegas to visit some of Noel’s family. We had a great time visiting with family and being recipients of their superb hospitality. Everyone of course loved having Cooper around and didn’t want him to leave. It was good for Cooper [...]
We found a killer deal on flights to Utah and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit family. I’m not very good at photo documentation (maybe you’ve noticed), but here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure. Among the undocumented adventures: a riveting high school cross-country meet, guest appearance in a high school English [...]
