So, this letter is long overdue….as I am soon approaching 7 months of pregnancy. I’ve kept a journal of my experiences and had the best of intentions on posting here more frequently, but the holiday season just overtook and got the best of me! But, I promised myself that I would write as much or often as I could to remember my journey leading up to motherhood. I wanted the memories to be etched in my brain forever. Letter # {Read More}
Honeymoon Photobook
February 5, 2013 by
Phew….feels great to check this off my list. It is finished! After finally getting my favorite editing program back…..I was able to complete our honeymoon photo book. I guess better late than never…as the infamous saying goes 🙂 Everyone who knows me is well aware that I take way more photos than is ever truly necessary. My camera card is constantly blinking “full” and I am always having to erase pics on a whim. I’m getting tired of storing all {Read More}
Letter #1 – I’m Thankful For….
November 22, 2012 by
Thankful: (thangk-ful) feeling, showing, or expressing gratitude It is so hard to encompass the feelings I have at this time in my life….. I could start with undeserving, humbled, inspired, blessed, fortunate, contented, appreciative, grateful……overall, just plain lucky! I am overtaken with a wide range of emotions as I am about to embark on a monumental journey that will impact me in ways I can’t quite grasp or fathom. To be honest, I feel a bit inadequate and unqualified for this critical {Read More}
Check that off the list…

Nope….not talking about winning the Mega-Millions. I did, in fact, buy a lotto ticket. But, just like the rest of the nation….aside from those 3 individuals, I fell short with my attempt. I have to admit, there is a part of me that is not disappointed with my outcome….because the likelihood of me winning and becoming an instant success story is very rare (read this and you’ll understand just a little piece of what it COULD be like). Had I won {Read More}
A Four Year Life Lesson…..
March 23, 2012 by
I was humbled from the first day I started. Every Thursday night for the past four years, I was inspired by people I’d never met before. I’ve been changed in a way that goes beyond words. I’ve witnessed adversity, suffering, agonizing pain, and desperation…..as well as resolve, steadfast determination, and an unwavering sense of bravery, defeat, and triumph. I saw a world so vastly different than my own, one that I’m not sure I will ever truly understand. I realized {Read More}
Just another day in paradise – Part 2
March 5, 2012 by
More pictures from the beautiful beach wedding in Punta Cana……a trip that I wish never had to end. This weekend, it snowed in Chicago…which made me reminisce even more about all the wonderful aspects of our getaway to the Dominican Republic…..sun-kissed skin after consecutive days at the pool, frosty miami vices that never left my hand, friends horseback riding in the pouring rain, mama juana shots that got worse as time went on (supposed to be the opposite effect, right?), and {Read More}
