My first three semesters of college I attended Grace University here in Omaha on 10th/William. I also lived in the campus dorms. Grace had rules such as no tvs in the dorms, a guy can not be in a girl's room, and midnight curfew. I hated all the rules, but if I were to have... Continue Reading →

There are varying views on marriage. I'm under the impression that once you're married, you 'got em,' so now you can relax and rest assured that no other wily woman is going to get her paws on your man. However, there are also the type that are jealous and worried, and not necessarily because they... Continue Reading →

My anniversary is either August 26th, 27th, or 28th. Whichever date, I know it's 2006, so that's something. I know most women know this, but there is a reason I'm unsure. We set a date, then changed it to get the Joslyn castle at half price (Sundays are cheaper for weddings, everyone). I know people... Continue Reading →

I decided our house is too big. I decided this, of course, when I was cleaning and had to change the outlet the vacuum was plugged into several times. At the apartment I never had to switch the outlet. Perhaps that is why I've only vacuumed here once. Today I try again. Steve and I... Continue Reading →

Checking my email is a chore now. I hate to do it. I remember when Marie told me she hated checking her voicemail and I totally get it now. I used to be excited to see "Inbox (5)" and now I just cringe. It's five things I have to either open and respond to or... Continue Reading →

A day of beginnings. And I'm not just talking about Big Brother. I ran again tonight. My thirty miles a week days are so far behind me that it's hard to believe I was ever an exerciseoholic. If I'm ever going to run this half marathon, it's going to take a lot more dedication than... Continue Reading →

Other than the fact that Steve is quite the opposite of fat, some days our life together is all too much like an episode of "King of Queens." Just today we were planning on what kind of couple we'd like to find to befriend, and how we would even go about befriending them. I suggested... Continue Reading →
