Last night we went to San Francisco for our date. We actually went a-touristing with my sister Ruthie and friend Hillary. Yay for visitors!
We actually started with dinner at Ping’s Chinese Restaurant in San Rafael, which is consistently lovely and affordable at the same time. If you ever get to go, order [...]
The other day was our 7th wedding anniversary! I wasn’t in the mood to write at the time, but it was a good day. Seven years is a good, solid number, isn’t it? We are still so happy, and I am grateful to be married to my good husband.

Yesterday Colin got home a little earlier than ususal so that I could go vote before the crowds started up at the polls. Then he sent me to the polls alone while he watched the kids! I don’t know how long it had been since I’d been anywhere totally alone, but it was the weirdest [...]

I get a lot of people who come onto my site searching for things like "wife is always tired and doesn't like me." I'm not sure how that brings them here and I don't know whether my site is at all helpful, but here are my thoughts on ways to strengthen your marriage and what [...]
