How cool is this date? I love these neat calendar days. I remember being pregnant around 04/04/04 and missed it by days — my baby was born 04/08/04. I was also pregnant on 06/06/06 and missed that date, too — my baby was born 06/15/06.

We’ve been through and to Kentucky a few times. I’ve always been struck with how rich and green this region is. I think I would like the climate — at least the winters would be milder than the winters we have in the midwest. Not that we’re looking…but if you are, check out louisville homes [...]

I’ve never been to the eastern seaboard — not that I wouldn’t love to. I’ve always wanted to explore this region of the country. The heritage and history that must fill this region is huge, I imagine.
Not that we are considering it, but relocating to the Outer Banks, North Carolina, might be interesting. Checking [...]

This is one of those subjects that no one likes to think about or discuss…but it really is important to think and plan for the future. Yes…I’m talking about funeral planning. I know…the thought of using a funeral planning worksheet to plan your funeral may give you the heebie jeebies. But…when you think about it…you [...]
