Terrifying Experience

I spent my Wednesday night in the ER due to complications in my pregnancy. This was the first time in my memory I’ve even been to the ER as a patient and I was there for worst possible reason – fear of my baby’s life. I want to share my story with you and I will be giving some details, so if girl things gross you out (guys!) you may not want to read (it’s not too bad). This will...

No Longer Allergic to Fish

Today, Dave and I went out to eat. Dave ordered two fish tacos, ate them, and didn’t die! Most of you probably don’t understand why this is worthy of such excitement. Well, you see, Dave is deathly allergic to fish. Dave grew up eating a lot of fish as a child. His dad would fish in the Monterey Bay regularly and smoked salmon was a common meal at the Lofte house. This was, in fact,...

Cabin in Pinecrest and Disconnected

This past weekend Dave and I hung out with our good friends Adam and Shawna. Shawna’s family has a cabin in Pinecrest, CA and we stayed there for a night. This cabin was the cutest little house ever! The whole thing was made of knotted pine and it was recently remodeled with beautiful tile floors, granite counter tops, and modern bathroom. It had one bedroom and a loft. I could easily live there if...

A Day at the Park

Yesterday, I was home alone all day without a car. So instead of sitting at my computer for the entire day, I decided to walk Ally and Epsilon to the park in a nearby housing development. It was such a beautiful day for it too! Ally got to chase a lot of squirrels and Epsilon rolled on random stuff… good times. Anyway, I brought my D90 along and wanted to share some of the pics I got. You may notice...

School, Blogs, Pies, and Travel

My First Blizzard

On Thursday, Denver (and most of Colorado) was hit with a Blizzard. All the schools shut down, so I also had my first snow day My husband was supposed to teach a class at 8a and didn’t realize school was canceled. He found it odd that the building was locked, but just let himself him. He went to class and wrote all his intro stuff on the board. While waiting for students to arrive, he checked his...

My Spring Break

Wed-Fri, my husband and I visited a friend in Kansas City, the first time either of us have visited KC. Snowboarding was a lot of fun. We went to Loveland Ski Resort in Colorado. The only other time I have...

A Bad Week

Disclaimer: This is a bit of a rant and not very interesting… continue reading at  your own risk. I generally have a happy, good life. But these past few days have been torture for me . I have had some good times too, but over all… bad. I’m sad and bored as I type this. I procrastinated all last week and had a lot of work to do on Monday for an assignment that was due. I woke up at 8a...

My Dog Poops Diamonds

So I recently got my wedding/engagement rings repaired and buffed. They’re super pretty and my diamond looks extra big now! Yay! Anyway, having been thinking about my ring lately, I remembered an event that happened a little over a year ago and thought it would make a wonderful blog post. My husband and I lived in Rohnert Park, CA at the time and we were getting ready to drive to Salinas, CA for my...
