Adventuring
Jem and I went exploring this week. We decided to check out Phinizy Swamp. It’s just outside of Augusta. What we found seemed like a place out a storybook to me. It was absolutely beautiful. I don’t...

Georgia Resident
I got my GA license last week. We’re still working on getting Jem’s. We’re thinking a federal licensing system would make moving between states much easier, particularly with abnormalities such as Jem...

Sylacauga
On our way back from Birmingham we drove through a city called Sylacauga. It’s the city where my dad’s dad (Granddad) grew up. And it’s where Granddad’s parents and brother are buried. It was a...

Explosion
A few nights ago we were happily cutting out snowflakes, chatting, listening to Christmas music, having a pleasant evening, when suddenly we heard something like a gunshot. Odd, we thought, but not...

Georgia Toad
I am such a lucky woman to be married to Jem. We spotted a toad last night near our front door. I squealed (there is no other way to describe it) and squatted simultaneously as I tried getting a closer...

First House
Jem and I have disappeared recently into our newly purchased cave. Okay, so it’s much more light than a cave, but after seeing The Hobbit last night we are both considering creating our very own hobbit...

Projects and Such

Deliberately Henry
I’ve been thinking lots lately about my brother Henry. He just had a birthday. It was a very important one too, because it marks the age where he leaves family and friends for two years. I worry that...

Our Newest Foe
We did some yard work yesterday. It was crazy windy, but Jem wanted to check out the mess called our back fence. And we learned about an obnoxiously invasive vine: the thorny smilax (I promise I didn’t...

On to 2013
Jem and I had good holiday fun this year, mostly by watching lots of movies and organizing our things. It is wild to think of everything that happened in 2012 and we are quite pleased with how we ended...

Molasses
January seems to be passing like molasses. Anyone else? Or is it just me?… Jem is busy with work. And re-establishing a proper work schedule after the holidays destroyed it. I have been keeping...

Fun Things
So I promise Jem and I have been doing more with our time than just work and projects around the house and yard. We do fun things too! We have made some good friends out here in GA who showed us an...

Love
Sometimes there are moments when I realize how perfect Jem is for me. Like when we’re hanging out together and he starts to play music from Lagaan. I know we were totally made for each other when this...
