the annababy is sixteen.
whelp. time just keeps on cruising past, faster and faster, and well, anna is sixteen. she has been waiting for this one, so impatiently, and for so very long. since the actual day of her birthday had lots of big plans (*potentially), the grandlidboms came over the night before to exchange gifts and have some […]
all things april. mostly.
now that i’ve written separate posts for easter festivities, my camping trip, anna’s grease performance, and our anniverary(ish) getaway, i didn’t leave much left to report from april. i kicked things off with an aprils fools day hang with my good old pal sara without an h. we hit up the new-ish bagel boss in […]
almost 23 years weekend getaway.
next month will mark 23 years of marriage for derek and me. it’s wild. since may is notoriously packed with mayhem, we celebrated a little bit early, escaping for a long weekend in abingdon, virginia, just outside of bristol. we have never really explored this area, so it was all new and exciting. our plan […]
i’m back, baby. (sort of).
upon returning from a semi successful camping and hiking trip to hanging rock that was cut short, i booked a campsite at stone mountain to try again, two weeks later. i snagged the very last campsite available and when i pulled up i immediately understood why. it was fully exposed, with no tree coverage or […]
the worst documentation of easter you’ve ever seen.
this year was different. for the past few years (and even dating back to some of the years before we went on the road), we have hosted easter, along with a pretty epic egg hunt. it’s obviously evolved over the last almost two decades. this year, the “kids” are 21, 19, 18, almost 16, and […]
marching along.
look at me. catching up this blog. again. always. eye roll at myself. here’s some stuff that happened in march. (it wasn’t super eventful). we kicked off the month with a championship game for hazel’s baskeball team. i think they went undefeated this season and they won in the finals in a very exciting game. […]
twin meet and greet.
my baby brother and his baby mama (wife), who already have two young boys, decided(?) to have a third kiddo. and, well, that ended up being a third and fourth kiddo. since i am no longer beholden to the chaos of nursing school, when spring break rolled around, we packed up the posse and headed […]
febz things.
again. still in school. february was less eventful than january.so you know what that means… i’ll be kicking things off with my boring nutrition and fitness updates. still fighting this super dumb plantar fasciitis. really kind of at the end of my rope. and it’s hard to find gym time with my school schedule. but. […]
strumbellas, reprise.
our fam has been fans of the strumbellas since way back in the day when we lived on the road. last year, we had the opportunity to see them live in chapel hill and it was the most fun concert (show, if i’m being pretentious) that i’ve ever been to. so, when they announced their […]
