For the last 4 years since we became parents, we have tried to set aside Thursday night for "date night." This has been as simple as a walk around Lakewood Apartments in Stafford (a chunk of solitude in the midst of urban congestion) or as special as going out to dinner. Of course, there have been some weeks that did not work out, but the pattern has been consistent. In Stafford, we were surrounded with many babysitters from our neighborhood, the youth group and our church family....we were Read More
Dear Diary,
Life has never felt so uncertain. Our home back in Virginia is significantly damaged, and we no longer have renters. We can't begin to advertise for new renters until things get fixed, and we don't know how long that will take. In addition to that uncertainty, we still haven't figured out what to do with our car and don't know what the wisest thing is to do. On top of it all, the decision about the VISA has been made, but they are not telling us what it is until it is officially documented. Read More

Darcy and Haley each got to bring their favorite blankets and a few toys to Iceland, but the rest is in storage or in a Goodwill store somewhere. I don't know what triggered it, but recently Darcy Read More

April 2nd
In college, the girls in my dorm referred to Colby as the "guy who has already written a song for the girl he is going to marry." You can imagine how this rumor affected the myriad of single college girls who were desperate for a rock on their finger before graduation. Although I was determined to be the non-conformist and not succumb to marriage, I can remember hearing about this song from my roommate and thinking to myself, "Whoever gets to marry him is the luckiest girl in the world."
