There’s no need for any other words starting with “n” here, cause this post will be all about Nayt.
As I’m typing this, my husband is getting on his bike to ride home from Best Buy in Tri-County with a copy of Starcraft 2…I think that’s a great way to start a paragraph about my husband. [...]

Mail: I love getting snail mail. I like opening the mailbox (or mail flap in our case) and seeing a non-bill related piece of post. It’s nice to break up the bills with non-bills. My friend Lauren and I have been sending journals with letters back and forth since we both went to [...]

Laughter: Contagious laughter, my dad’s wheezy laugh, Nayt hysterically laughing at some tv show…these things give my abs a workout. You can tell when someone is appeasing the not-so-funny amateur comedian’s joke. And you can tell when someone is TRULY laughing. I love it when I’m with my family or my in-laws and [...]

Kindness: Taking a moment to do something considerate for someone else…thinking outside of yourself: this is kindness. Holding a kid’s hand when they’re scared, gently petting a kitty who has taken over your lap when you want to get up, smiling at the stranger in the grocery aisle, giving your family members hugs, [...]

Jingle Bells: When I was a little girl, we’d go for drives when it would turn dark in December and look for Christmas lights. Everytime we’d see a house with some, mom would yell, “Jingle Bells!” It’s a tradition I still do today. Now when I see Santa in twinkly lights or a string of [...]

Ice-Cream: MMMMMMMMMM, so grateful that someone thought up ice-cream. It’s creamy, fatty, sweetened goodness. What’s not to like? I love Chocolate Marshmallow and Peach from UDF, Banana from Cold Stone (as aforementioned), Phish Food by Ben n Jerry’s, Mango Sorbet by Haagan Daas, Vanilla Bean by Bryer’s, and my favorite thing to get at Graeter’s [...]

Alright, so I missed a day. Apparently I was too busy having fun. Lemme get back on track here:
Harry Potter: I started reading the Harry Potter books late. No, not because I completely rebel against fiction that contains witchcraft. But more because I didn’t want to spend the time or effort to develop [...]

Gift Giving: Not to be all materialistic about things, but I like presents. However, I don’t necessarily think we need to boost our economy and spend thousands of dollars each Christmas to “bless” or over-bless our relatives and friends. It’s good to bless people, but it’s also good to not be in debt. [...]

Fall: By far the best season, if not solely for the obvious…I was born in November, therefore the season is awesome. I love sweaters and pumpkin pie and leaves falling and hot cider and chilly weather without needing a coat, and corn mazes and Thanksgiving and CANDY CORN!!!! Who wouldn’t love this season? [...]

Eggrolls: It doesn’t matter where I order Chinese food from, it has to include eggrolls, especially when getting takeout. What kind of Chinese food order is an order without fried little chunks of shrimpy goodness? Come on! Mmm. YUM. Bring on the fried chunks of awesome!
Eggs: (Not to be confused with eggrolls.) I love eggs [...]
