To everyone out there that reads my little blog (however small that group may be), my great apologies for my lack of writing to you this Summer. Although I haven’t been writing, it doesn’t mean this Summer hasn’t been such an amazing one so far. My latest post here was a post from Flickr of [...]

Photos from the D-Day Memorial ceremonies at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia.

The last time I wrote about this region of the country it was the happiest day it had seen in the five years of recovering from the worst natural disaster to ever touch American soil. It was the night after the New Orleans Saints went home as Super Bowl champions. Watching New Orleanians celebrate their [...]

Today we honor and remember our fallen heroes, and all those serving in our U.S. military. For them and their families, we are forever grateful for their sacrifices and will support them with everything we have, for as long as it takes. God Bless them all.

A wonderful day requires a wonderful morning. I had just that yesterday morning.
I got up yesterday morning at 7:45am (later that I planned) and went with my nana to walk with an elderly man who’s a veteran of the coast guard and former preacher, in the mall before store hours. My nana has started to [...]

That’s what Today Show anchor Matt Lauer asked this morning after NBC News correspondent Mark Potter was reporting on the oil spill from Louisiana where he swallowed a giant fly during a live report. It didn’t come too much as a surprise because when Brian Williams traveled back down to anchor Nightly News from Venice, [...]

As I sit at the desk, with a load of homework on my lap, I hear the pitter-patter of one chocolate Lab who’s been cooped up in a condo for far too long. My mom, brother and I are having a sleep-over at my papa’s (mom’s father’s) in the middle of the week. Although he’s [...]

It’s 1:32 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, and I’m just in from taking Charlie outside for a quick bathroom break before (finally) heading to bed. I’ve made it a habit now to grab my Blackberry, put on my headphones and turn on Pandora before heading out with him. While it’s windy and a little chilly [...]

Happy Thursday, everyone!
Okay, yes, I have some explaining to do. It’s been quite a long time since I’ve posted, and must say I highly regret it. I guess college has been keeping me busy, even though it really would only take a few minutes to write a simple post a day. But when did I [...]

Today marks the seven year anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Seven years ago today I was thirteen years old, and sitting on the living room floor watching the news. I remember so clearly seeing the images of the first explosions in Baghdad, Iraq – that night-vision camera footage of bombs exploding in the [...]

Actually, not only do I love that movie (“Barefoot in the Park”), but I’m just realizing the title fits because I was actually barefoot in the park today.

My friend and I decided to take advantage of one of our first beautiful Spring-like days by heading to the park with two baseball gloves and a baseball, [...]

Okay, not really a “Manic Monday”, but a day that I seem to have a lot on my mind…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and I apologize for slacking behind lately.
Today, as some of you may know, is International Women’s Day. To all of the Women around the world, I salute you. Sadly, not [...]

Those are the words I read when I was told to visit the Today Show’s “allDay blog: Today’s Family Blog” this afternoon. This morning I walked straight into the college cafe, picked up my coffee, and speed-walked over to the vacant couch in front of the TV where the Today Show was on. (It’s rare [...]

Last night another great American city went out on top, and went home with the Super Bowl victory. Only this year, it wasn’t just another great American city, it was New Orleans. Just five years ago eighty percent of New Orleans was underwater after it was hit with the worst natural disaster to ever touch [...]
