an unlikely invite

Yesterday, Fabio had the writer’s guild meeting. Although I’m thrilled he has this space to share with other fellow writers, it is always a challenge figuring out what to do with the boys for 1.5 to 2 hours.

Driving is not an option, because finding parking elsewhere is unlikely, and I can’t sit in the [...]

a day full of surprises

My birthday was full of surprises,  just the way I like it!

Fabio took the day off work, so we could spend it together.  After we dropped off Phoenix at school,  Fabio took me to a place we’ve never been to before, called Tom’s Restaurant.  It’s been there since 1936.  It’s in Brooklyn, but it felt [...]

the best gift ever!!!

I just got the best gift from Fabio.

He gave me a macro lens for my camera.  I’d been wanting one, and I was trying to see if the rest of the family would pitch in and give me some cash toward it so I could buy one, but he went one over, and got me [...]

we have an agent

Yeah! A new, very good progress has been made on our home search. We have a buyer’s agent to help us navigate the process of buying a home.

A couple months ago, we were first recommended an agent, James Yoakum. James was great, but he dealt mostly in Philadelphia, and only occasionally with [...]

decisions, decisions

This weekend was a whirlwind of driving around all over Bucks County, trying to find areas we like.

It was also our belated anniversary celebration.

The driving around was productive. We got a sense of things we like and don’t like in a neighborhood. It helped us see distances “for real” versus google maps calculations. [...]

a possible sale

I have a friend who is interested in buying one or more of my little city scenes.

Isn’t that exciting?!

I’m feeling sick as a dog today, with a crazy cold, but that makes me want to get better even quicker, cause I got to get back to work on my city drawings again.

I’ve got one almost [...]

a super cool find!

I love Keith Green.  I love his music.  The first time I ever heard it, I was a teenager.  It was so earnest.  It makes you wake up and think about your life.

I read his book while in my twenties, and it really challenged my faith.  It made me uncomfortable and it made me eager.  [...]

learning history while home shopping

Okay, so our shopping for homes so far has only been over the internet.

As of this past weekend, I actually decided that I no longer want to search for homes online til we’ve had a chance to drive around these areas, and see what the areas look like and what the towns have to offer.

But [...]

school shuffle

This move will mean many changes for the family. Most of which I’m thrilled with, some of which I am sad over. Many which I can’t even fathom yet.
One change that will be of great impact, is the change of schools. That is why a huge part of our decision will be [...]

the start of our new life

So, I hope to record as much of this moving process as I can.
I should write everyday and I’m already backed up.
Fabio started in Trenton, NJ and is trying to get a grasp on the job.
He will be in NY for the weekend, and then back down again.
I have started to feel the sadness of [...]
