Devastated. Happy. Excited.

I was up late last night. Naturally I watched the NFC Championship game rooting for the Lions. The first half they looked like a Super Bowl team! I'm not sure what happened at half time, but it wasn't pretty. To be up by 17 points and then lose, well, it hurt. Almost immediately, social media began to slam them. I … Continue reading Devastated. Happy. Excited. →

He's a comedian This morning, Andrew was moving all the chairs in the living room around. He kept pushing them away from the wall. So I … Continue reading First Rambling of Year #6 →

Returning The Favor

If you have been following my blog, you probably know of the many projects that my father-in-law has helped me with. We made a nook together, put new posts and re-decked our side porch, installed more appliances than I can count and SO much more. I was overdue to return the favor. When we got our … Continue reading Returning The Favor →

What a game!

White Weekend

Michigan got hit with it's first real winter storm this weekend. It was no joke. It started Friday afternoon after I got to work. In the short couple hours I was there, the snow accumulated quickly. It didn't take long for patients to start cancelling their appointments for that evening. Believe it or not, despite the 6-8 inches of … Continue reading White Weekend →

Testing My Heart

I've watched a lot of tight football games. I've been at the edge of my seat for many of them. Can I tell you that my heart rate is still up there after last night's Detroit Lions playoff game?! There was a lot of talk about this game. Matt Stafford was our Quarterback for years. … Continue reading Testing My Heart →

Busy, But Thankful

I hope this blog finds you enjoying the remainder of the holiday weekend. My weekend, which was supposed to be very relaxing, wound up being full of the unexpected. Wednesday afternoon, I got a call from my wife. Her dad had passed out at the doctor's office. His blood pressure was up and down. They … Continue reading Busy, But Thankful →

Short Week

I am so glad for the short work week. I'm looking forward to family time. Sam and I have Friday off and we are going to the Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo. We did this almost every year we have been together, but haven't ventured through it with the kids yet. This will be … Continue reading Short Week →

A Proud Fan

Here in Michigan, we really haven't had much to cheer about when it comes to professional football. The Detroit Lions have been the butt of many jokes. Late night hosts had a field day (pun intended) when they went 0-16 in 2008. Even Jeopardy poked fun at them once: For years Facebook posts about their … Continue reading A Proud Fan →
