128. It’s taken months of stress and change. I’ve cried and screamed and despaired. 128. My blood sugar number. In November, my blood sugars were a steady 350, if not higher. “Healthy” range is 90-130 (before meals). It may be by the skin of my teeth, but I’m there. I need to be able to [...]
Full Monty
Our roommate is moving out this week. Ben’s been particularly excited about the house being empty again. While it’ll be nice to return to our usual routine, I think I’m going to miss Ben’s concerns of covering up.
Surprise!
Around 7 pm last night, we stood outside in the cold, shivering and huddling together, waiting for Ben to pull into the driveway. Surprise! Happy 25th Birthday! I have been dying to write up actual posts of everything I’ve been working on, but I wasn’t taking the risk of Ben reading it. He says he [...]
You don't know my man
I wasn’t planning on posting today, since I’ll be busy visiting a certain little man and then packing for Bloggy Boot Camp, Philly! But after posting photos of Jaden on my facebook last night, I got one specific comment that really made my blood boil. K: “never thought I’d see that.. ben with a baby [...]
I'm Baaaacccck!
This was an interesting vacation, to say the least. We experienced a lot of ups and downs, like coming home to a puke-filled house because my 18-year-old cousin who was house-sitting for us drank and did God knows what while we were gone. But I’m not going to dwell on the negative stuff, even if [...]
Happy Anniversary
So … I realized a little late that I scheduled yesterday’s post a day early. I was hoping to have that up for our anniversary . . . which is actually today. Whoops . . . Instead, here’s some photos from our wedding day, 356 days ago.
Our First Year - What I've Learned
You can love someone even on the days when you don’t really like them. You can’t really threaten to kick your significant other out of the house. Instead, you threaten to banish them to the sofa if they fart on you one more effin’ time. You find yourself joking to your unwed cousin about the [...]
Never for granted
Just the other night, I was complaining about Ben wanting to go to Gettysburg for our anniversary, and clearly how un-romantic said trip would be . . . even if he had been looking up things he knew I’d love to do . . . like a candlelight ghost tour and a private wine tasting. [...]
"The" dress & the "almost" dress
I’m linking up to Shasher’s Life for a wedding dress blog tour. How fun! I wore my dress just under a year ago, on August 15, 2009. We were married on Ben’s Aunt and Uncle’s estate in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Sometimes I can’t believe it’s already been a year. But that’s another story for another day [...]
worth a thousand words …
I’ve been trying to go through all the wedding photos, in hopes of finally getting my photobook printed. I made the mistake of trying to upload all of them, and reached my upload limit halfway through the ceremony. It’s almost heartbreaking, having to pick which moments I want printed, because I’m still so in love [...]
