This post is a celebration of my mother, also known as Nonny, Crazy Nonny, Helen Haley, H.H., the "fun" substitute teacher, and Mrs. Haley. She asked me to take this picture of her for her facebook account. When I was in Wisconsin, H.H was insistent that I come with her to her Zumba class. What is Zumba you ask? Zumba is a Latin American dance that involves very provocative moves to a rumba beat. I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole experience: twenty middle-to late-aged women in large Read More

In-Laws
I am so blessed. Some people cringe when they think of their mother-in-law or father-in-law visiting, but I get excited when my in-laws come to town. Colby and I were both able to run the Fredericksburg 5 miler on Friday morning, we had a fun time at the parade, the girls enjoyed the fireworks at Lunga from underneath our make-shift tent, and with the help of Colby's Dad we were able to paint our bathroom in preparation for the renters. Colby's mom and grandma are domestic goddesses and the Read More
Darcy Doodle’s Dental Disaster
Colby here. Well we knew it would happen some time. One of our children would experience some sort of bodily injury and if we were lucky only lose a tooth. Tonight was the night and the playground was the scene of the crime. As Darcy made an attempt to climb something a little too difficult for her, she had a facial collision with a metal bar and knocked one of her two top front teeth. She took it like a champ. Cried for a little bit, but not really a whole lot. Her mother and sister on the Read More

Mixed Signals
I love hay bails. I started to fall in love with Colby on top of a hay bail in Memphis, TN during the summer of 2000. Of course, as we were on the hay bail, Colby was asking me (for the 5th time) if I saw any hope in the future for a relationship between us and I was explaining to him that I was not interested in ever dating him nor marrying him or anyone else for the matter. Exclusive relationships were like a prison to me, and instead, I was heading to the jungles of Ecuador to be a single Read More
Ten Year High School Reunion
Reunions are wierd. It was like stepping back into a different life seeing people that I used to spend every day with, yet haven't seen for ten years. My best friend Melissa and I both lost our voices the first night as we tried to talk with everyone in the crowded bar. I am really thankful that the reunion happened to be the weekend that I was here in town, and even more grateful that Melissa could fly in and stay with me for the festivities. I am so lucky to have such a great best Read More
The Dairy State
I flew to WI with the girls on Wednesday so we could visit with my family while Colby is in Iceland. The girls are loving time with Nonny and Poppy, I am going to my 10 Year high school reunion this weekend with Melissa Kane, and everyone is having a great time...right, Colby? Here are a few pictures of our adventures so far. Read More
