One Week in the Big Apple

I finished up my month in the States with a week in NYC. I haven’t been there for more than a day since I left 5 years ago to move to Florida with Joe and I wanted to wander around the city, meet friends for lunch and shop. One my first day I had to… Continue reading One Week in the Big Apple

Penn State – Welcome Back!

Last week the students came flooding back to State College.  Within 48 hours our town doubles in size, swelling with cars and pedestrians its streets are not designed for.  Plastic rolling storage carts, cheap beige rugs, cork boards and junk food are purchased.  Bright eyed frat boy wannabes whiz through Wal-Mart with their big-haired mamas… Continue reading Penn State – Welcome Back!

Happy Father’s Day

I’m not ashamed to be called a “Daddy’s Girl.”  As the first born and the only girl, it was inevitable I would be stuck with that title and it suits me just fine.  Many men father children but not all of them are “Dads.”  My father was not one of those men – he was… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day

I can’t remember the last time I spend Mother’s Day with my mom.  Even though she is far from my geographically I love my mom more than anything.   For her 50th birthday I made a list of things I learned from my mother and I thought I would share them here so everyone can… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day

16 Days

Joe and I had a great time in the States for 16 days.  Visiting with our families is always nice, especially after not seeing them for a year.  We knew our trip home was going to be crazy but we had no idea just how crazy.  It started off with a big surprise our first… Continue reading 16 Days
