the best of… and questions

August 8, 2009 Ashley

I was thinking of making a “Best of…” section, highlighting some of my favorite or important posts that I’ve written over the past 5 years. Here’s a start, but I was wondering if anyone has other posts they’ve liked that I should include in the list?

The only reason I could think of was…

There were some issues going on at work, and she confessed to me that she was working at 50% and just didn’t have the mental capacity to deal with the issues. (So, she wasn’t worrying about them until after her maternity leave.) Now I completely understand. I feel as if I’m at 50% now. I am not used to this feeling, and I don’t really care…

and today marks three

July 29, 2009 Ashley

Three years! Three years ago today I got dressed up in a pretty white dress that barely fit me. Paul dressed in a handsome black tux. :-) Friends and family descended, helped us get ready, then watched and celebrated with us as we spoke our vows and exchanged rings. Three years! Three years ago we started our family. A month exactly from now is the due date for the first (human) addition to our family. Now a question for you…
