Blog Photo Review: A visually stimulating two years
August 31, 2008: knot = tied
Got Hitched

I adored every single inch of my modern wedding... rooftop ceremony, reception in an urban space overlooking a glass-blowing studio.. all the purple and yellow and black and white... the way I looked... the euphoria of pulling off the event...

love is grand, but a kick-ass wedding is, too.

Sept. 2008: Fish outta water!
Honey, moon me...

Hubs and I spent the week in Myrtle Beach, SC and
were there for Tropical Storn Hanna. Not a highlight:
super hard wind and rains. Definitely a highlight: forcing
my new husband to take my photograph on the beach,
me sportin' my wedding dress, even though our wedding
took place back in Louisville.


November, 2008 I spy a Hoosier!

Floor Seats in Assembly Hall, Bloomington

Yeah, we played nobody IUPUI. It was still top-ten on my most awesome life-experience list.


Summer 2009: Got a new ride.
I drove all night... to get to you.
Her name is Bella. She loves me and Edward.
 
Fall 2009... High School Musical: Reunited


 After 10 years, I finally started to like my hair. AND I got away with wearing horizontal stripes!

April 15, 2010 - December 14, 2010: Baby Makin'
Beginning of the bump

End of the bump.

Result of the bump.
A final thought from Stella...

and she makes Mommy happy, too.

The two-ish years since I've started blogging have been full of ups and downs, but when I stop to reflect on the ups, I am overwhelmed at how lucky I am in life.

Here's to 2008, 2009, and 2010...

and cheers to so many things to look forward to in 2011.


Happyspice New Year!

Aww, what a great review! I love it when you post a wedding pic, you look gorgeous all the time, but you looked amazing on your wedding day! Model-esque! I love it when brides have their hair pulled back like that - probably cause I know I'm NOT going to be able to pull that hairstyle off and I wish I could! ;)
Happy New Year, Amber! Cannot wait to watch Stella grow!!! :)

Jud Was Right: Karen DID NOT damage her Lexus on the Traverse - A Garage Story

Edit: ideal to read this with the FOIA drive open to access each ring video referenced as you go. Other recommended research/ reading: The Commonwealth's Statement of the Case June 2022 pg 14, and Evan Brent's trial 2 testimony. I am now CERTAIN Karen broke her taillight pulling into John's garage when she arrived home from FV. Here's why: The first time we see it broken (to my eye!) is  in the FOIA Ring Doorbell cam - we see Karen backing out at 5:07am. As Boozey Beauty pointed out, the angle in which she's backing out is odd. The beginning of the FOIA footage shows the SUV backing out and if you move the banner showing the play/ pause buttons, I think you'll see it. Watch the first 3 seconds, if you haven't already. I watched in .25 speed and paused each second. FOIA file ID 1643450878000. The TL doesn’t look “right” as it passes the illuminated vertical frame of the garage door on the left of the screen. Look at shape, not color. It’s better on video, bu...

Last Call: John O'Keefe's Journey from Waterfall to Fairview (12:11:09am - 12:21:09)

I tend to bury the lead, so let me say this up front: I won't get to any of it in this post, but by 12:24:22am on January 29, 2022, John O'Keefe had arrived at 34 Fairview, gone into the house, been incapacitated, and had been dragged down the two short flights of stairs down to the basement, and up the stairs to and through the bulkhead door.  Yes. All of this happened by 12:24:22am. And here's how I started my research this week to figure it out: When I decided to look at timeline, I didn't think I'd spend all my free time in an entire DAY focusing on the short time frame of 12:11am - 12:21:09. I wanted to go "back to the start" (shoutout to Coldplay!) and figure out what the time discrepancy was really all about. I started with steps: Hyde (report) 12:11:09 - 12:21:09 170 steps 326 feet Guarino (testimony) 12:11:09 – 12:21:05 170 steps 326 feet Whiffin (report) ...

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...
