Barefoot! Out of Control Brownies

This week’s Barfefoot recipe was chosen by Eva of I’m Boring.  After a long weekend spent having a glorious time with The Husband and our friends, I completely spaced out about Barefoot  and honestly, I was junked out.  The weekend was filled with grilling out, smoking (that’s KC style BBQ) and grilling again, I couldn’t [...]

Memorial Day

Photo taken from ArlingtonCemetery.net

When I was 13 my parents sent me on 2 week long dual trip to Washington DC and New York City with a group of students.  We were ready and set to tear up the cities and take all they had to offer.

Laughter is a Cure!

Take the minute to watch this cute soldier have a little fun.  This must have been during Desert Storm because the uniform is outdated… but totally fun!

Oh while I’m at it, I thought I’d share this hillarious Air Force rendition of This is Why I’m Hot.  Go AIR FORCE!

Lessons from a Colonel's Wife

I remember the drive to The Brother’s college town for the last time.  A short 2 hours from my parents home, the drive was unusually long that day.  Although there was a slight feeling of excitement in the air, the atmosphere was almost unbearable.  My brother sat next to me in the back seat wearing [...]

Where the Magic Happens

There is a room in our home that captures all the good times, the bad times, ugly times and downright raunchy times!  The magic happens there.  It’s Grand Central of our home.  Whether it be friends or just The Husband and I, the room is always filled with laughter, life and passion.

This weekend was incredible and [...]

The Good Samaritan

This afternoon on our way back from lunch, my friend Laura and I were going around a bend in the road close to our offices, she works about 1/2 a block from me, but we never get the opportunity to spend time together anymore.

We start around the bend when we both notice a body laying [...]

The Great Campout

A few months ago we said goodbye to one of our good friends, Ross, who was moving to Texas in pursuit of a girl.  I make it sound romantic, and in a way it is.  They’d been dating for three years and living in separate states the whole time; she in Texas, he in Kansas. [...]
