Grandma, “I do you, too.”

We said goodbye to my 94-year-old grandma, Jeanette Couch, today in a beautiful celebration of life in her home church in southern Indiana. These are the words I shared.

I nearly died last week…

OK. So maybe I didn't REALLY almost die. But at the time? I was nearly certain it was my last day.  Anyone who knows me well knows I'm not exactly an "extreme sports" gal. And coordination is not my strong point.  But last week, I was with two of my dear friends in Florida -- two friends who whisked me away for a few days to reset … [Read more...]

Lessons learned in 16 years of marriage

April 5, 2003. The day that I gave up my “independent single woman” status and vowed to love, honor and cherish Craig Lee for a lifetime. There with our dearest friends and family gathered around, we certainly had a starry-eyed view of what marriage would be. And we definitely thought we had it all figured out.
