After deciding to come back to the blogging world, things got turned a little upside down for our family. I've been away for a little bit and here's why. Deployment gear Jesse is now deployed, and I had a rather rough 3 months. For half of September and all of October I had been feeling [...]

Well, Hi There!
It's been a long time, a year to be exact, since I even considered writing a blog post here. Whew. You might notice the URL is a bit different. I moved my blog over to wordpress.com so my domain kind of forwards over here to it. I hate the link that shows, but whatever. 2020 [...]
In Loving Memory of Debi Hansen
I have absolutely no words to describe the pain I felt when I learned my mom had passed away. She wasn't supposed to died this young. She was supposed to watch my girls grow up. She was supposed to attend their graduations from high school and college, and she was supposed to see them grow [...]
1 Year In!
I cannot believe it has been almost a year since we've been in our home. It feels like yesterday that we moved in. There's been some major changes in the development that I want to share. If you can't tell, we FINALLY have neighbors on both sides! The house on the left JUST closed. Unfortunately, [...]
Life Challenges & Banana Splits
This year has been full of challenges so far, which is why I haven't been working on the blog. My mom has ended up in the hospital with a softball sized lump in her lymph nodes (neck). They gave her a round of chemo, all her hair fell out, and after 2 weeks in the [...]

I really love decorating and getting things all jazzed up for the holiday. Instead of doing something super creepy on the inside, I went for a basic fall theme. Entry hall table decorated for [...]
A Year Away
Jesse is finally home after a year away!!! Jesse just off the airplane! I purposely waited on sharing this information until he had been home for some time, due to OPSEC and well...we've had a lot of things going on. We're finally back to our normal routines and getting used to Jesse being away during [...]
Saying Goodbye Isn’t Easy
Yesterday we had to say our final good-byes to our furbaby, Bell. We've known for a while she's been sick (diagnosed at Banfield in March with Kidney Disease) but after dropping off Rylie at preschool yesterday, I came home to Bell acting super strange. It was like she couldn't settle down. She kept roaming around [...]
I Turned How Old?!
June 23rd was my 33rd birthday. Gosh, I feel so old. Jesse took the entire week off to hang out with me and every day leading up to my birthday, he gave me a present. First, on Monday, it was a small little "gag" gift in the form of a Warcraft Vinyl figure. I, of [...]
