I always feel the need to commemorate anniversaries with essays waxing poetic about years gone by. Then I start writing and it takes off in an entirely different direction that I never intended and I end up scrapping the whole thing. Three years ago today Bob and I got married. He is my best friend. He is my saving grace. I love him more than I ever thought it was possible to love another human…

I feel completely unprepared for this trip. I have little over 48 hours to get it all figured out. And here I sit, in bed with my computer. HEY, I’ve been doing laundry all day. I’m not completely unproductive here. Yesterday morning I was sitting at my desk when Bob walked into the loft for his morning pre-work intarwebz perusal. He sat down in his chair, logged into his computer, and leaned over, peering at…

Bob and I went to the State Fair on Thursday. We did a lot of walking and I’m still in pain, because I am ridiculously out of shape. The night before we made a list of the food we really wanted to try and a few other things we wanted to check out.

I have plenty to write about. I just can’t seem to get it written. My brain is not functional. … Joe and Gayle got married on Saturday. Fun times were had. My brother now has stepkids in their 20’s. … Did a lot of (terrible) dancing at the reception. I can still barely walk because I am ridiculously out of shape. Stairs are evil. … I have 19 days to get everything done for our…
