Yesterday, J and I celebrated our first anniversary. It’s still hard to believe that 365 days have gone by since we exchanged our vows; I can remember that day like it was yesterday. It’s even more crazy to think that J has been deployed for nearly half of our first official year together. Needless to… Continue reading 2009 May | Somewhere in Middle America

I used to write in my diary religiously. Lately, with all of the blogging and twittering I do online, I very rarely sit down with a notebook and pen to jot down all of the thoughts floating around my head. However, if I had one of these limited edition handbound journals ($25) by freshlyblended press… Continue reading 2009 March | Somewhere in Middle America

I just sent in an application to foster a kitten or a cat. Although J and I are dog people, we can’t have one in our apartment. I’ve met some pretty darn cute cats in my life, though, and I would love to have a buddy to keep me company this summer. More than that,… Continue reading 2008 June | Somewhere in Middle America

I love to shop, and I love to receive gifts, so I didn’t anticipate how hard creating a registry would be. J and I spent nearly every night this past week browsing different online retailers getting ideas of what types of things we could get away asking for. We decided that this weekend we would… Continue reading 2007 April | Somewhere in Middle America

Yesterday morning, J and I participated in a couple’s yoga workshop at Lotus House of Yoga. The instructor played a mix of romantic tracks while we pulled one another deeper into stretches, (literally) leaned on each other during balancing poses and, at the end, meditated on the melt-in-your-mouth magic of Lindor Truffles. Her selection of… Continue reading Extracurricular Activities | Somewhere in Middle America

When we bought our house, I quickly claimed the smallest bedroom for my office. In our apartment, my husband and I split the extra room down the middle and each had our desks and computers in it. My desk was a child-sized hand-me-down, so I did most of my computer work while sitting on the… Continue reading 2009 April | Somewhere in Middle America

I swear, there has never been a dog kissed and cuddled and as much as Briscoe was on Thanksgiving. What a spoiled little puppy! My family took approximately 786 photos of Briscoe yesterday. Here are three that I took with my camera of Briscoe playing with a new toy from his Auntie Robin. How delish… Continue reading 2008 November | Somewhere in Middle America

Dear Jason, I just looked at your tour schedule and was disappointed to learn that you won’t be coming to Omaha this Fall.  However, you’ll be going to BOISE, ID???  Seriously?  Not that I have anything against Boise or Idaho, but BOISE, ID? Omaha is very upset by this news. Love, PJ (image source) My… Continue reading 2008 September | Somewhere in Middle America

A couple of loyal readers recently told me how much they used to enjoy the links I would post on Fridays, so I decided to bring back my weekly “Link Up” feature. Happy reading! A campfire treat gets even more indulgent. (via you are my fave) From the curly hair to the studded shoes, she… Continue reading link up | Somewhere in Middle America

In honor of the new month, I decided it was time to change up my banner. A fresh start, you know? It was created by the super talented (and super adorable) Lisa Toff. Like it? Happy September, everyone!
