Life In These United States
We have all come to that place where we have to decide to continue fighting or give up. How many times have we said “I Quit!”. We are 3/4 of the way through January 2012, but the new year is not too far gone, to make new beginnings. The year 2011 is gone for good [...]
There is nothing better than real life experiences when it comes to blogging material. Life just smacks you in the face and before you realize it you know you must write a blog post about it. Does that ever happen to you? What I usually want to do is to TWEET about it, but I [...]

I can always tell there is a problem when Katy raises her voice. Katy is the calm, soft spoken person in our family. Katy rarely gets excited about much. I stayed home today to nurse this cold of mine, and while I was reading and writing something for a school assignment, I heard Katy say [...]
We have 3 cats, 2 dogs and a bird. Yes, I am married to Doctor Doolittle. Luckily for me I have not seen any signs of the animals trying to hold conversations with my wife. I guess if I were honest I would have to admit to having a soft spot in my heart for [...]
