No CommentsFirst Day
Today was Chris’s first day at his really cool, new graphic design job. I am so excited for him, and I know he is going to do really well. As far as first days go, though, today could have gone a little better on the home front. The smoke alarm in the garage went off...

1 CommentThis Kind of Day
I started writing this post on Wednesday, when it had been this kind of day. I never finished writing it because one tough day turned into that kind of week. Rainy and cold and all of the other things that go along with January. Plus, Chris was out of town for two, and things are...

No CommentsEditing My Life
Today I ran across a blog post by a photographer acquaintance of mine of her living room all dressed up and decorated for the holidays, and I felt a nasty, sneaky, sickening feeling creep into my heart. “I want that living room!” I thought. And the life that goes with it, too, please. A perfectly...

2 CommentsMinutes
First Megan did it, then Keli, and then Erica. The days seem so full and go by so quickly that at the end of the day, I honestly couldn’t tell you what happened. So yesterday I tracked it, minute by minute. I’ll warn you, there is a lot of repetition. Here we go: Minutes: 10:30p...

No CommentsGetting a Grip on Chaos
In the midst of all of the changes Chris and I have been going through with the full-time launch of his business, I’ve been able to keep my head steady the majority of the time. We have been very blessed, and sometimes we feel naively optimistic. The launch of Chris Paul Design as a fully-functioning, full-equipped...

No CommentsBooked a hotel!
We’re gradually making progress on our NYC vacation plans. We booked our hotel last night at a new hotel in Brooklyn that just opened last week. Ironically, it’s called Nu Hotel Brooklyn. I’m very excited about it. It has a very modern and eco-friendly vibe. I found a website called brooklynnow.com/bococa that lists all kinds...

No CommentsNYC
Chris and I are (officially) headed to New York City for summer vacation and to celebrate our fifth (!) wedding anniversary. We fly out July 23 and come back July 28. Since we just found out that Chris’ family will not be going with us, we haven’t booked hotel, shows, or anything. We are definitely...

No CommentsWinning the War
I love The Weepies. “How You Survive the War” is on their new album, Hideaway, and it was the first song that really got me hooked on the new release. The title track is awesome, too, and “Can’t Go Back Now” is my current favorite. But yesterday, these words from “How You Survive the War”...

No CommentsBaby Mama
So… yesterday was a long day, and nothing went quite as planned. I meant to leave for Little Rock at 10:00 am, but Chris had to work until noon, which meant not getting on the road until 1:00 pm. We stopped by the Earth Day celebration at the Clinton Presidential Park (sheesh) and got to...

No CommentsWhole
According to Dictionary.com, the word integrity means, 1. adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty. 2. the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished: to preserve the integrity of the empire. 3. a sound, unimpaired, or perfect condition: the integrity of a ship’s hull. To me, more than anything else, integrity...
