The Legacy to an Outsider
This weekend started early with a text from my husband saying that his father was given 24-48 hours to live. Fred Sr. was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer 3 years ago. After several surgeries, trips to the hospital, and intense treatments, he was declared cancer free. The announcement came as a shock to doctors…

Wedding Season and Marriage Advice
Anyone who has been through it before will tell you that there is a season in life when the majority of your friends get married. And while I can’t definitively say that this is it for Freddy and me, I’m thinking this it! So far this year, Freddy and I have been honored to receive…

Celine Dion
I know it’s not appropriate to share about our sex life, but today I read something to Freddy from Women’s Health magazine that he thought was worth a try. I don’t think the results were quite what he had in mind… Celine Dion “My heart will go on” via iPhone:

The Bathroom
I have been waiting to post updates because we haven’t exactly finished one room completely yet. We’ve continued to make progress, of course, but we’re still looking for window coverings, a topcoat, some more paint, etc. Unfortunately, all of this waiting for the big reveal has turned me into a total troll.

Chateau Shier gets Internet!
We are finally up and running! Internet and cable got installed today and, despite the fact that our wireless router plug may or may not be buried somewhere in the house (?), I am elated.

Well, it took nearly a month but we are back on track with the house (and our marriage, if we’re being honest. It is so tough working separate schedules! We’ve said it before, but we really have to work to make the most of the time we have together (and also to avoid talking about…
