Some may think that a young couple like Cory and me would be living it up on Friday night. It’s the weekend so we should celebrate, right?  Oh, we celebrate. Toys “R”Us style. I’m sure one day we will dread going in there but for now, it’s still Cory’s favorite place.  If you know Cory at all, you know he is an action figure fanatic. He grew up collecting action figures and reading comic books. Maybe he is a little nerdy but I love my nerd!

A few months ago, I started feeling a little self conscious about my body. I’ve never been the type of girl who stressed over what the scale says but I could feel myself rotting away from laziness. I started to do some research into clean eating and when I mentioned it to Cory, he was totally game. So I joined the gym on campus and started planning each meal with a clean menu.

Caleb went to University of South Carolina for his bachelors’ degree, which is about…

Let me just say, I can’t wait for my husband to get home. After two long weeks, he is coming home today!  Being that I am so Type A, the past couple days have been very stressful. See, I like to have everything laid in stone planned out. I don’t handle changes very well especially when it involves my husband not getting to come home at his scheduled time. I wish I could be more like Cory because stuff like this doesn’t bother him. Anyways, their flight from Nairobi, Kenya to Zurich was canceled due to a fire at the airport. They were told everything would be fine and they…
