So I was tooling around the internet the other day and I found this:

I couldn’t believe my eyes!  For shiz, that baby SAVED HIS OWN LIFE.  And all of a sudden my desire for Camper to swim went up like a million kajillion degrees.  Obviously, he’s only  months old, but it doesn’t hurt to try, [...]

So John and I had our first weekly “financial” meeting.  This is something we agreed on last week when we set up our weekly budget and our budget calendar.  We write the amount of money we have to spend on Sunday, then deduct as we go through the week and write what we spent money [...]

So my Mom and I wanted “something to do” this afternoon.  We didn’t want to spend money, so we did some investigative work instead.  What I learned was:
Pools are expensive, yo.  Even the one I THOUGHT was $35 a year is apparently $35 before they will allow me to pay the $44 for eight swim [...]

This past weekend I had a FIRST, we went to a drive-in movie.  My Mom had mentioned it earlier in the day, and then when John and I were walking around the mall for lack of a better going “out” option, I told John about it and off we went.  We had to drive an [...]

So last night, kind of last minute, John and I decided to go out to dinner somewhere.  First day of work, home for the weekend, seemed like a good reason to get out.  Camper was having a rough time going down, but once we had him under control, we left him cuddling with LaLa and [...]

So I’m applying to school.  I take the GRE in a couple of months, I’ll start the application process for the Theology/Religious Studies programs to 5 schools, and then we’ll see.  I want to start September 2010.  My question for all of you out there is…how do you recommend going about getting letters of recommendation [...]

John, the Bubbs and I attended a funeral in New Hampshire yesterday (yes, this makes it 4 states in one month, way to go traveling Bubbs!).  One of John’s friends, Robert, had passed away sometime while I was in Utah.  One of the men who stood up to say something about Robert said that he [...]

Traveling with the Bubbs- 8 Months

I didn’t travel to Utah alone- but I think I still picked up some “tricks” to flying/traveling with an infant.  Here it goes…
1) Don’t travel alone if you don’t HAVE to.  I know it’s possible (people do it all the time), but it was nice to have someone to pass him to when I wanted [...]

All Hail the Doggy Bed

We are back from Utah.  Camper did amazingly well on the flights, due in large part to the doggy bed we brought him to crash on.  I’ll have to blog some of my traveling “lessons” that I picked up along the way (and stole from other people).  A special thanks to Emily and Jared and [...]

I Heart Passing Out No Crying

Yesterday was rough, but Camper is back to passing out with a little grin/minimal fussing.  I think that the trip messed him up a wee, but one day of toughing out a little more “cry it out” and he’s back to going to sleep well.  STAYING asleep, now that’s another story.  We’re back to sleepus [...]
