Thursday was one for the books! The Good: Kenneth and I officially became homeowners, very exciting day in the Erasmus family! Personally I never imagined owning a house, but this sweet man I'm lucky enough to call my husband has an amazing way of making things happen. Also, big thanks to our friend Don'nell Greer … Continue reading 4.10.17 The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Life as we know it
4.8.17 Tuesdays with Morrie
I had no expectations when I started this book, I knew it was going to be good, insightful, and encouraging. I picked quotes that I related to through my ALS journey, ones that stood out, and ones that made me think. This one is my favorite: “Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build … Continue reading 4.8.17 Tuesdays with Morrie
4.7.17 Rusty
Rusty Brett - April 7, 1932 - July 26, 2014 Have you ever missed someone so much that your bones ache? Have you ever wanted to pick up the phone and call someone then remember they are no longer a phone call away? Have you ever craved a hug from someone so much that you … Continue reading 4.7.17 Rusty
4.6.17 Phil
I love Phil Dunphy, along with the others of Modern Family, but Phil is my absolute favorite. His "Phil's-osophy" on life, love, and growing are as practical as they are hysterical. Everyone can learn something from Phil and my love for him inspired me to name the trekking pole, Phil. Phil has gotten some good … Continue reading 4.6.17 Phil
4.5.17 Sister Cousins
"Sister Cousins" are defined as best friends that are better than sisters because we are close by choice. We celebrated the future Mrs. Powell in San Antonio this weekend which, of course, means Mexican Food. Bachelorette parties are a right of passage and this particular one was pretty great. As many of you know, I have … Continue reading 4.5.17 Sister Cousins
3.30.17 Sun is Always Shining
I have a friend named Bruce, and it's an honor to call him a friend. We can't move into "Best Friend" territory until I start winning the weekly giveaways from his popular newsletter, but he swears he can be bought so I guess it's me that needs to up my game. I met Bruce two … Continue reading 3.30.17 Sun is Always Shining
Busy
March has been, well, where has it gone? How are we almost a fourth of the way through 2017? This week in particular has been crazy because this is my last full week of "prepping" for the ridiculousness that is April. Here's a glimpse, in no particular order: Closing on a house Renovating said home … Continue reading Busy

3.27.17 The Best Weekend
We are busy people, life is running us ragged and we love it. Friday night started off with a bang, I was home before 5 and slept until almost 10PM. Rough Friday night. Kenneth worked Saturday and I started my day at church painting with the fun women of Ridglea Baptist Church. My hands don't … Continue reading 3.27.17 The Best Weekend
3.24.17 Something Awesome
I was called out yesterday by a birthday girl who shall remain nameless for posting too much sappy lately. Here is the exact opposite of that: Y'all, I put on a brave front every day but the truth is the fact that my trekking poles act like a spotlight for my disease, is hard. My … Continue reading 3.24.17 Something Awesome
