Speaking of baby names (no, you’re not getting a hint yet…and actually, who was speaking about baby names? anyway…), I ran across an interesting definition the other day. “Quaking aspen tree meadow.” I was going to post this mysterious phrase and then ask people to figure it out, but I’ve already given away that it [...]
It’s kindof funny living in an apartment sometimes. We don’t really know any of our neighbors well, but there is one lady who is kind of the head ambassador/gardener/welcomer/sweet-old-lady of the building.

I started unpacking some of the things… alphabetizing CDs, reading through elementary-school writings, and washing new dishes. I also have [...]
According to the car timers, I’ve been on the road 17 hours in the last two week, and that doesn’t count the time I spent driving from Ames to Waverly to Darlington… wait, maybe it counts one of those… I just know I’ve been on the road a lot! We’ve effectively moved three loads to [...]
