Attending Tarleton State University after high school was a no brainer. I had been accepted to Texas A&M and Tech, but Tarleton fit everything I was looking for in a college and most importantly, staying close to home allowed me to be involved in my twin sisters junior and senior years of high school. Being … Continue reading 20. #MyGirlsAreBetterThanYours
28. Big Kid Stuff
Nothing gives you the warm and fuzzes quite like completing an Advance Directive with your husband of less than 3 months. Fortunately this wasn't a new conversation, or one that we haven't had many times in various forms, but it still seems like a foreign concept, you know the whole death thing and all. For … Continue reading 28. Big Kid Stuff

14. Weekend Warrior: Party of 1…er, 2
Again, I find myself saying that "I had different intentions for this one and God stepped in...". Pretty excited about this shift 🙂 I get an entire weekend with my husband, a stay-cation per say.

22. Night Owl, Late in the Morning
For long as I can remember, I have been a night owl. It never mattered how early I had to get up or how little sleep I've gotten days prior, I have always been a late to bed person. Some will argue that this is the source of my regular lateness, but I assure you … Continue reading 22. Night Owl, Late in the Morning

17. Voice Banking
We can all agree that ALS sucks: it sucks the life out of it's victims, sucks their independence away, sucks their future, just flip'n sucks. One of the hardest parts for me to grasp and come to terms with is that one day I will not be able to open my mouth and talk. Just … Continue reading 17. Voice Banking
