After hitting up the Dr. Seuss birthday party last weekend, MacKenzie, Aviean and I grabbed some lunch from Chick-Fil-A and headed to a nearby park to have a picnic and spend a few hours playing since the sun was finally beginning to show its face in our town.  My friend Perry joined us and, after [...]

I find it ironic that I’m just now writing about last weekend when we’re only a few hours from another weekend beginning.  But, really, later is better than never.  Wait, right?  You agree?
Last weekend, after I got off work, Aviean, Jay / Rose and I drove to Knoxville to pick MacKenzie up for the weekend!  [...]

Listen, we need to talk about something.  Namely, the Jay / Rose situation.
If you’re not familiar with Jay / Rose, perhaps you should revisit the post where I explained the whole Jay / Rose name situation or, if you’d like to hear it straight from the child’s mouth, perhaps you should view the video where [...]

Good morning, internet.
Once again I fail at keeping my promises.  I promised you pictures of my fun weekend and do I provide them this morning?  No, no I do not.  This is partially due to the fact that I couldn’t find my camera cord until just a few minutes ago and partially due to the [...]

After lunch today, as I was in the elevator heading to the top floor of my office building, a woman whom I don’t know asked me if I could give her directions as to where she could find an office on campus.  When I finished providing the directions, she smiled at me and said –
“When [...]

Last night, after a weekend full of fun which I will tell you about tomorrow, Aviean went with me to have dinner with my dad, stepmom and grandparents.  Since she’s from the maternal side of my family, she had never met them before.  We went to a very nice restaurant, so I was a bit [...]

I thought she was asleep in the car seat until I heard her little voice as I pulled into the driveway.
“Amy Beff?  What is love?”
Before I could answer her –
“Is it a kiss, Amy Beff?”
I giggled, because it would be Aviean who would ask me about love, now wouldn’t it?
I had to think about it [...]

It’s Friday morning; shall we do a little weekly update?  We shall!
1. Yesterday in the campus Dining Hall, I bumped into (literally — my body hit his body) a man speaking to the President of our University which caused the man’s bowl of chicken tortilla soup to be slosh over onto the President’s suit.  I [...]

Near the end of 2009, as I was starting to consider taking down my Christmas decorations, I began praying about my goals for the new year that was quickly approaching.  I know a lot of people don’t like resolutions, but I adore them.  I love new beginnings, whether it be a new year, a new [...]

If you’ve read the blog for awhile, you know I’m quite the fan of all things aquatic.  I loved to swim as a child (and was on a swim team for years), loved going fishing with my grandfather and, of course, have loved, still love and will always love Shamu.  Well, except for when he [...]
