From home!
Mark and I were both watching to see when Tucson would start to recognize where she was.

As I write this, Mark and I are going through Sturgeon Bay on our way out of Door County. I didn’t have a chance to write last night because we were so busy trying to get ready to leave, but I did want to mention one thing before we land somewhere tonight.

So she organized a butterfly float for the Fall Fest Parade in Sister Bay this last weekend and someone caught it on video. My boss, Mickie, is the leading butterfly… Continue reading
Our 9th anniversary!
As of today, Mark and I have had nine years of wedded bliss, more or less. I had the day off work, and he got home from work earlier than usual so we could celebrate. Continue reading
Time with my son
I was too tired to write last night after I finished processing all the pictures I took during the day, so I’m catching you up now.
