you know what i saw last saturday on tv? beakman’s world. it’s a science show for kids and i was a religious watcher of it back in the day. i still remember all sorts of stuff from that program and i’m sure it was a contributing force in my interest in science [...]

my bridal pics (taken by Littrell Photography at Lake Grapevine after our wedding) are in. Below is a selection:

it was fun to go out to grapevine lake with jeromy all dressed up - it’s such a special place to us so it seemed logical to do a post-wedding bridal session out there. jeromy [...]

just a quick post before i head off to a bridal session over in rockwall…
this week has been just as mega-crazy as the last few. work was busy monday through thursday, which has become more and more of the norm.
on monday night, jeromy graduated from the hurst citizen’s fire academy. mom [...]

this week has been full of work. i’m still at the office, actually - my mind just needed a break. ’tis been a relentless cycle - early mornings, long days, evenings filled with red brick work or real-job work, bed, and repeat. the next two weekends are chuck full of red brick [...]

what’s better than owning one basset hound?
owning two.

our second weekend out of town was amazing and then some. we got into san angelo friday night (a little later than we had intended) and checked into the hotel. we got up the next morning and headed to cain’s cove for a wedding. the wedding was beautiful and it was a [...]
