My Beloved has started a new blog! He’s actually had the address for awhile, but hadn’t kept up with it. He spent the majority of his blog time working on the youth blog from his last church. Now Chuck’s own personal blog is up and running. http://chuckdubbe.blogspot.com/ Pay him a visit, leave a comment, and make his day! =)
Meet Annapolis. Ben and Jess. Man painting right next to the water. Tony, Jennifer, and nephew. Happy day. Enough said. Chuck’s friend started a church in Annapolis a couple years ago. He invited us up to check it out, and 4 of us couples went to Buddy’s Crabs and Ribs for their famous Sunday Brunch. http://www.buddysannap.com/ YUM-O! Leisurely strolling up and down the cobblestone-like streets was just what the Doctor ordered for a perfect afternoon with friends. We started and…
Translation: I speak a LITTLE German! I have completed my first two weeks of German class and am really excited about the next 18 weeks. But, backing up the truck a wee bit… One of the most fascinating aspects about my husband, Chuck is that he was raised as an American-German. When I first met him I wanted to ask a billion questions about Germany and I couldn’t wait to hear him speak the language. Luckily I refrained from going…
I’ve had several blog posts swirling around in my head for awhile now. I even have some new pictures to post to add to the excitement of the posts on the bench. BUT in lieu of those pending stories I must share some pressing news. Just about 10 months ago Chuck and I tied the knot and officially became husband and wife, with a free pass to finally live together! Glorious! The Sunday after we married, we drove 5 hours…
Happy Four Year Anniversary of what, you may wonder? Well today, dear readers, is the four year anniversary of this very blog. I honestly can not recall how I heard about blogs or how I knew to create one. I knew I loved to write and that was all I needed to know. I remember trying so many blog titles and so many of my ideas where already taken. I was sitting at my little kitchen table in my very…
Welcome to Friday Night Dance at Glen Echo Park! It is a whole other world here, so be prepared to leap out of the box. And I mean leap. So last Friday Chuck and I decided that we would finally go dancing somewhere. We had been talking about it for well over a year and it was time to just do it. Sometime during the course of the day Chuck told me he found the perfect place to go and…
With the temperature nearing 70 degrees today and these two beautiful bouquets around me I can’t help but proclaim that SPRING IS HERE! My love tank is full and overflowing this week. We had a wonderful couple over for dinner the other night and they showed up with tulips! I have never had tulips before and I am just adoring them. Aren’t they just the cheeriest things? My friend Laura likes to tease me that Chuck and I are “always”…
Before… After… Saturday was our 1 year anniversary of getting engaged! I knew the date was approaching, but on Saturday it didn’t even cross my mind. Ironically, Katie came over for pancakes that morning. At one point I looked at my phone, saw the date, and proclaimed, “Aw! One year ago we got engaged!” Shortly after that Chuck returned home and much to my surprise he was holding a dozen red roses! Then he announced to both of us, “Happy…
I’m back in my writing corner. It is warm in here because the hallway vent and the den vent are both blowing on me. Blasts of heat = perfect writing temperature. So some of you have heard the story about our neighbor who fell right outside our apartment and broke her ankle. I witnessed the entire tragedy, yelled for Chuck and we both ran outside to help. It was an awful situation for our neighbor. I want to spare the…
