I hope you all had a really excellent Christmas! It’s almost the end of 2015, and I figured it would be good to do a little “year end recap” and update. For starters, I’ve been rather quiet on the blog front lately, but that’s actually because I’ve been writing furiously … Continue reading
Thanksgiving did turn out to be delayed for us; Darrel was still feeling miserable from his sickness so we postponed our family gathering. Based on how Darrel felt, we really should have waited even longer, but he thought he would feel well enough to have Thanksgiving on Friday so we … Continue reading
The terrible spinach reaction was Sunday night, and on Wednesday I was scheduled to return to work for a really difficult 3 day assignment. I still felt sore and achy and NOT my best, but I wasn’t bad enough I felt calling in sick was an option. Besides, thanks to vacation in … Continue reading
It’s been a rough few weeks. In fact, there’s been so much happening that I can’t fit it all in one post, so this will be a nifty “ongoing storyline”. To begin, we do have some exciting news! October 30th, I arrived home from work in the early afternoon. As soon as I … Continue reading

Read part one and part two first. After we left the kids science exploration area, we decided to go to the Viking exhibition. The kids and I read the Magic Tree House series as bedtime stories, and one of the books covered Vikings. I thought this would be a great … Continue reading
Read the first part here. Saturday morning dawned bright and early. Thanks to our late arrival, we were all sluggish and running late that morning. By the time we had dressed, cooked and eaten breakfast, gathered our lunch/beverages/school supplies, and ridden the shuttle van back to the airport, it was … Continue reading
On Monday, September 7th, I was wasting time between flights at work one day and decided to take a peek at what I would be facing for my commute to work the next weekend. My next assignment was to begin Sunday morning at 6:00 a.m., so obviously I needed to … Continue reading
