I Remember Her


She was eccentric.  She loved frogs.  She would drink Mountain Dew and stay up all night.  She was funny.  She laughed a lot.  She was easy to get along with and everyone wanted to be her friend.  She loved to sing and did it EVERYWHERE.  She went to church weekly, daily, hourly; she still wasn’t sure.  She could never choose among red, blue, and purple as a favorite color.  She hated pizza.  She loved a good salad bar.  She never said a curse word, not even damn.  She knew who she was, and she liked her.  She was pure.  She was innocent.  She was real. 

I miss her.

Take Me or Leave Me

...I prefer the former.





Those of you in Savannah and surrounding areas should audition for RENT in March!

Playing House


What is this that we’re doing:
picking curtains for the living room;
cooking dinner together each night;
sleeping in the same bed, breathing the same air?

Are you a forever kind of mine?
Or is this just a game?
You hold my heart in your delicately strong hand,
and you act oblivious to that fact.

These plans I’m making with you
I want to be real.
This isn’t elementary school,
and we’re too old to be playing house.

Change is on the Horizon

I left my husband this weekend.  Yes, you read that correctly.  I have been unhappy for a very long time (by no fault of his own).  I'm changing.  I'm different.  And I'm not the woman he fell in love with.  I realize this.  I see we've drifted apart.  I understand that we no longer make each other happy.  So, I decided to take a break.  We're separating for a year, living in different places and leading different lives.

I have no clue who I am.  I went from my parents' house to college where I had a roommate(s) all four years, then I got married and he was my everything.  I have no clue what it's like to be alone, and I think that's a problem.  I need to find Cami.  I need to love her.  Then maybe I can love my husband.

Please keep praying.

The December From Hell

Wow, I cannot WAIT for 2012.  December has been a rough, rough, ROUGH month for this girl!  I really struggled this month with the fact that I haven't gotten pregnant yet.  It makes me feel worthless.  It makes me lose sight of how amazing my life is.  It makes my husband think I no longer love him.  It makes my life a m-e-s-s!

Yesterday, Kol and I had to trade both of our cars for one in order to lower our debt-to-income ratio.  So, we are now the proud owners of a 2012 Honda CR-V EX-LR:

This is Tate Xander.  Love him.

The reason we need to lower our DTI is to get into our dream house.  We're currently in a bidding war.  Please pray that they accept our offer if it's God's will!

On the baby side of things, I went to the gyno yesterday.  The did an ultrasound and all of my lady parts look healthy.  My ovarian follicles were a bit on the small side, which lead him to believe I may not be ovulating properly, so he gave me a prescription for Clomid.  Hopefully we'll be pregnant by February!  If not, Kol and I have decided to adopt.  I'm super-excited about the prospect of having a child!!!

Keep praying.
