Between The Signs

Dreams and Milestones

2011-12-15T23:35:00.001-07:00

I've been thinking a lot about dreams lately.

When my first marriage ended, it was the loss of all the dreams I'd had that left me mourning the most.

And it was the establishment of new dreams that helped me heal the most, and helped me find myself again.

...........

Steven and I recently marked 3 1/2 years of marriage. Something that seems so insignificant, yet....

I recently read an article about a study that had shown that the 7-year itch is actually a myth, or at least a thing of the past. Great news, except for the fact that the study revealed a "3-yr glitch" Apparently the majority of divorces occur within the first 3 1/2 years after marriage. A fact I found particularly intriguing since I walked out the door of my first marriage for the last time 3 1/2 years, almost to the exact day. They say that's how long it takes for the lovey-dovey blinders to come off and for all those traits that were once endearing to finally drive you to the point of leaving.

As always you can read the rest of my ramblings here.

The turning of a page

It's that time again. Time to not only turn a calendar page but to get a whole new calendar. A time for looking back and looking ahead.

LOOKING BACK

Since Steven and I met it seems there has been at least one big event or milestone each year.

2007 we met and the girls and I moved to salt lake.

2008 we got engaged and married.

2009 we moved to American Fork and were expecting J.

2010 J was born and we were sealed.

So what did 2011 bring?

she does exist

Bet you never get so busy that things get neglected.

The last few months have been full of work, school, kids, life and far too much time on the road. To make room, things like housework and blogging apparently get neglected.

One more final left to take then hopefully i can find a few minutes to talk more about recent events and post a few pictures.

More Pink

2011-08-23T22:19:00.001-06:00

If you made it to the end of my "Real Men Wear Pink" post a couple months back, you know the pink firetruck was coming to town. It came, we went, and I'm finally getting around to posting the pictures.

It was such an incredible experience! And you can read, and see, more HERE

Pardon our Dust

I've been doing the whole private/public blog debate for quite a while, since like most things there are definitely good and bad with each. Then recently a friend of mine introduced me to the idea of...drum roll please....doing BOTH.

So here's how it works: For the benefit of you, the reader, this url will continue to stay public, and a brief (I know, miracle if I can pull THAT one off, right?) summary/intro of my posts will appear here. Thus keeping the benefits of a public blog (should anyone actually have the desire to follow me by rss or blog-roll or whatever, it will still update, etc.).

Included in that post will also be a link taking you to my private blog which you can find here. Keeping unknown readers (particularly the creepy ones) from reading things I don't want them reading.

If you're interested in accessing the rambling versions of my posts, please let me know what address you want me to add, if you know no other way to contact me (or are just lazy), just leave a comment here. (Comments are moderated, I won't publish your address).

In conjunction with this move, I'll be making changes to this blog as well. Presently, most the archives have already been moved. But there will be more changes to come.

For those joining the new site, keep it mind, it is also still under construction. It may be a bit rough around the edges for a bit.

Thanks everyone for your patience as I transition.
