When I left off on my last post, Samajé had been cut from the Redskins and subsequently signed by the Bengals, and I had made the move to Cincinnati (or, technically, Kentucky, right across the river). We got the house unpacked, and it began to feel like home. We started going to the team Bible study, and I made friends with many …
It has been well over a year since I last posted to my blog. If you follow Maj or me on social media, you probably know why. Eight months ago, we welcomed the sweetest, most perfect baby girl into the world. She is the absolute light of our lives – even when she lets the (very prominent) feisty part of her personality show through. …
Hello friends! As many of you have noticed, I took a very long unplanned break from the blog for a while. (By the way – thank you for noticing! I love knowing that people actually look forward to my posts.) If you follow me on social media, you’ve likely already heard the big news: Maj …
I must have been out of my mind when I thought we would have plenty of free time this off-season… Boy, was I wrong! Our lives have been off the rails for a few months, but now it is finally time to get back to our “normal.” As many of you know, Maj and I …
The quote above is from the sermon at my church this past Sunday. It has become my new motto. The last Tuesday Ten I wrote was on the first day of the Oklahoma Ice Storm of 2018. We got out of class early that day, and then class was cancelled the following two days. We …
Last week may have been the busiest week I have had so far this year. I am still recovering. Forgive me if today’s post is all over the place. 😊 Maj and I usually don’t do much for Valentine’s Day. This being our seventh one together, we took it easy as usual. Maj did manage …
A couple of years ago, while vacationing with a friend, she and I decided to take the love languages test. If you are not familiar with the love languages profile, it was developed by Gary Chapman as a way to discover your “emotional communication preference.” The five “languages” are gift giving, quality time, words of …
Last Wednesday, we went to visit a few of Maj’s old OU coaches and see the newly renovated facility. Let me tell y’all, OU players are living the life! It is interesting to see the difference between college and NFL football facilities. Contrary to what one would expect, while some NFL teams do put lots …
Last week was a bit out of the ordinary – although, while I thought school would get us into a routine, every week has been out of the ordinary these days. I guess I need to adjust my expectations! Maj went hunting last weekend while I started painting the ceiling in our living room/kitchen. If …
Hi friends! Since I haven’t posted in a while, I’m doing a Tuesday TWENTY today… A lot has happened in the past three weeks! A few days after ringing in the new year, Moose, Bear, Maj and I hit the road to Texas. We left Virginia just in time, as it started snowing right when …
