A Tribute to the Best Car in the World

May 7, 2016.Reading time 13 minutes.

My car has all of the great qualities that I look for in a good friend. It’s reliable, comfortable, in it for the long haul, knows all of my secrets, lets me sing out loud, a little flashy with the red color, and hasn’t ever let me down. It’s safe to say that I’m wildly attached […]

As some of you may have read in my previous blog posts about my transition into a healthy lifestyle, (Changes) I use the phrase “baby steps” consistently to remind myself to take, or do things, one step at a time. I have to take one day at a time, one meal at a time, and […]

January 9, 2016.Reading time 16 minutes.

As we dive into the New Year I find it fitting to do a recap of certain unfortunate events that took place this past year. Moments that I would soon forget but for some reason cannot due to the full flushed face embarrassment I get whenever even thinking about one of these. Mind you, these […]

My Mother’s Necklace

November 6, 2015.Reading time 17 minutes.

My Mother’s Necklace A million questions flooded into my mind as I headed down the deserted hallway. “Is Dad hurt? Is something wrong with Mom? Did someone die…? No, no anything but that. But as of right now, anything is possible. No, Anna, don’t think that way.” I quickly rushed toward my lofty faded […]

Almost Dying

September 18, 2015.Reading time 16 minutes.

So…I almost died this week…. I say that now with a smile on my face, but I do mean literally and not figuratively. BOY would it have been a crappy way to go. This past weekend Dan and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary in Wisconsin Dells and it was SO needed. We got […]

We Built This City

August 2, 2015.Reading time 16 minutes.

I feel most alive and in the moment when I’m seeing one of my favorite bands perform live. Of course there have been amazing and wonderful moments in between concerts, but I usually feel happiest surrounded by live music.

The Female Version of Michael Phelps

June 24, 2015.Reading time 11 minutes.

There is this picture I have of the ideal woman floating around in my head. She’s perfection and she knows it.

She is everything I want to be. She is smart, funny, a good homemaker, and can rock any lipstick color she wants. Plus she is just so damn happy. I want to be her. Problem is I’m hopelessly flawed…or actually, as I like to say, HopeFULLY flawed. There is always hope.

Here I’ll write about my numerous (and humorous) shortcomings, my (mostly happy) thoughts and ideas, and my failures and successes. Here I will strive for perfection and always fall short. Here is where I will try to become Almost “Her.”

“HER” defined: Funny, smart, brave, knowledgeable, beautiful, energetic, laid-back, positive, healthy, crafty, an amazing friend/daughter/girlfriend/wife/mother, happy, spiritual, stress-free, thoughtful, honest, playful, spontaneous, and a bomb diggity cook.♥ (This list is never-ending.)

Almost Her
