I haven’t blogged in nearly a month! Shoot! When you work from home, or in my case, when you used to work from home and now you are disabled from home, you lose all concept of time. I never write checks anymore, when I do have to buy something on my own I always use […]

Monday night Bear and I were sitting around watching TV with our bellies still full from the crazy big dinner I made for Conference Sunday, the dishes still sitting in dirty sinkwater, when the phone rings and Bear got some terrible news. Katie, his best friend from high school, was killed in a car crash. […]

Would you believe that I have not been to bed yet? It’s 10 in the morning, and I’m just now starting to think about tucking myself in. I’ve never been a good sleeper. I remember being as young as 5 and sleeping in until noon in the summertime, and staying up late enough to watch […]

Bear just got back from a hiking trip with all the teenage boys from church, and I think he’s broken. They hiked half-dome in Yosemete, which is apparently a legendarily gut-busting hike, and Bear’s only been hiking maybe one other time in his life. Not to mention the fact that he weighs about 250 lbs, […]

Now that Bear’s landed this new sweet gig, we’re finding out all the fine details and making all the appropriate plans. What will his hours be? How long will the commute be? Do we need a second car now? How fast can I spend all this new money? And of course, the thing I’ve been […]

We’ve been sitting on some big news over here at the Edmunds house, and trying to keep this secret has forced me to zip my lips so tight that nothing else could come out either. A few weeks ago Bear had a meeting with the regional VP of the company he’s hoping to leave to. […]

Whenever I make it down to SoCal I make a point of visiting all my favorite craft stores. My favorite place in the world is Tall Mouse Crafts, because they have the size of a Michael’s, the selection of a specialty store, and they let me shop wholesale right off the shelves. But there’s also […]

I just got back into town from “the OC.” We had to run down for Bear’s 10 year high school reunion and we brought our new Canadian friends with us. It was great fun and boring and I feel terrible about it all rolled up into one big neurotic ball. When we lived in New […]

Yesterday was my 6 year wedding anniversary. In some ways I cannot believe that six years of my life have already past and I’m still very close to the situation I was in when I got married. We’re not in school anymore, but we still have no money, our furniture is one step up from […]

I was minding my own business, chilling on the computer, when the phone rings. It’s Tami, who works with me at church and is the President of the Young Women’s program while I am the secretary. She’s great. So since I am the secretary and therefore the record keeper, she called to get a phone […]
