Dear Cris, Sorry it’s been a while since I wrote your last letter. I kind of wish I’d written a little more often but it seems like time is going SO FAST these days and look at you now, you’re already more than HALF A YEAR OLD. I seriously can’t believe it. You’re growing so [...]
Some days, I feel like the top of the world. Other days, I really just need someone to realize that I need a big hug and some reassuring words that everything is going to be okay. I knew this was going to happen to me, it always does after a vacation: I start to get [...]
I got home on Saturday (late) afternoon after an amazing five days and nights in Orlando, Florida. As if I hadn’t talked about it enough BEFORE going, I feel like I have about a million things to say now that it’s all over. Which, by the way? I can’t believe it’s already all over. But, [...]

I think I’m one of the few single girls I know who doesn’t hate Valentine’s Day. On the contrary, I think it’s a really sweet (although a little bit too commercialized) holiday that anyone can enjoy. Here’s what I’m loving: Friends- All of them, but I love that I celebrate all the fun/silly holidays [...]

Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes on my last post, and to any more that come in… Thank you again! I had a really great weekend, it was not only a lot of fun with friends & family, but reminded me just how much I’m loved and how important it is to cherish [...]
When I was growing up, I didn’t have one of those families that got together every single year for birthdays and holidays to celebrate together. My family was always fighting over something or other & from what I remember I only saw my aunts, uncles and cousins for funerals and maybe for Christmas if everyone [...]
This weekend was absolutely crazy and hectic and all that kind of stuff, but in the best way possible! Friday: After work, I headed over to my friend Mel’s house and we played some very competitive Wii boxing & a bit of Wii baseball too. I was already super sore from my Jillian Michaels 30 [...]
The thing that I love about summer is how my calendar fills up with my favorite things (concerts) and just random outings that make the days more memorable. Here’s what the next few months have in store for me so far: May 29th: Possible interview with Augustana/Augustana concert June 2nd: Jimmy Eat World concert June [...]
