About Me

My photo
I grew up in Small Town, Nebraska, feeling sheltered by the 'safety' of it all. When I moved to Big City, Nebraska, I felt like the world was my oyster. However, I soon felt like there was much more for me Out There... I moved to Chicago, thinking I was done with this 'little' state. It took living in a true big city to realize that Lincoln is just an oversized small town... and it's where I belong! I'm blessed to have a wonderful husband who understands me and all my oddities. My kids are young enough to still think I'm cool. Beyond that, who cares, right?

A Few Things I Love About Lindsay



I was thinking about the time I wrote what I love about Jim, and I thought, "Why not write what I love about my kids? There are so many things I can say about them--they're so fantastic!"

Things I Love About Lindsay


1. She's got a big heart.

2. She's very smart.

28. She comes off as shy to people who don't know her that well.

29. She's not so shy at all!

30. She can talk your ear off--much like her mother would at that age.

32. Lindsay comes up with great make-believe games.

33. She is willing to defer to other people's ideas.

34. She is very free with her praise for others.
