Happy Wednesday All, I can't believe it's already May! April got away from me and I didn't get to post any other blog posts besides the initial April one. Yikes, I'm sorry! Life continues to be crazy on my end. Our house is much closer to being ready (we have a great contractor!) and we have hopes of being back in our home not next week, but the week after. We'll see. Our contractor is industrious and efficient. He keeps us in the loop and gets things moving. We've been grateful to have someone reliable after the water remission people weren't the most communicative (which is a big reason why it's taking us so long to get back into our house). This weekend is my and my husband's anniversary (I don't give out details on how long we've been married--my husband likes a lot of privacy, so other than a few pictures on here and Facebook, you won't hear a whole lot about him). We've been together for over 10 years, though, and I feel a sen...

Happy Friday All, My heart is dancing today (well aside from being slightly  tired because Youngest had a bit of a rough night) but I won't let that ruin why I'm on an emotional high. Last night, as an early anniversary present to ourselves, my handsome Real Life Hero (my husband) and had a rare night out Picture of the program we got at the performance and went to see the musical of Disney's Beauty And The Beast . Not everyone dresses up at this theater, but I was brought up that fancy places like the one we went to, you wear something dressier than jeans or khakis and a top. So I wore a floral pleated skirt, a dressy black top, my new sparkly low-heeled sandals, sparkly necklace and bracelet. And, with the help of at least a dozen bobby-pins, I put my hair up (all by myself, which is really something since I'm completely uncoordinated with fixing hair. I'm lucky I can do a simple bun and low or high ponytails. I can't even really braid my own hair...

Happy Thursday Everybody, Me with my author copy of ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE & LION It's wonderful to be able to hold the physical book in hands! Before I get to today's topic, I just wanted to let anyone who didn't already know, All's Fair In Love & Lion is available in paperback! You can either order it through Amazon or you can order it through Barnes & Noble . Some of you have told me you've already put in orders. Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it.  So today is a very special day because... May 8th is me and Husband's 10th wedding anniversary. In some ways, it feels like the years have flown by. Other times, I know there were moments where it seemed like time crawled.  I still remember the day pretty well. I got up (I don't remember what time), showered, dressed, got my hair done.  After returning from the hairdresser, ate a quick cheese sandwich, boarded the limo and headed over to the Church. Once I got i...

Happy Wednesday All, Today is very special. Because today is me and my Real Life Hero's wedding anniversary.  Our story begins many years ago... Sometime around 11 years ago, Real Life Hero walked into my life. It was a late January evening and I was at a church sponsored young adult group. He caught my eye with his personable ways, and how handsome he looked in his black leather jacket (by the way, he doesn't have that leather jacket--he had to get a new one, and he still looks hunky in black leather jackets). However, I didn't think of having a relationship with him because I was with someone else. We had nice conversations, but I wasn't going to be disloyal to the other guy. Well, the relationship with the other guy fell through (and no, it wasn't because of Real Life Hero, there were a lot of other issues with that relationship and honestly, ex and I became better friends than we were romantic couple).  Hero and I maintained a friendship, and he asked me...
