I was recently looking back over my blog posts and realized I had said I was going to tell my story about Ricardo Montalban. I had told my husband, Bobby, that one thing I wanted to do in my life was to meet Ricardo Montalban. Even though it was on my bucket list, I thought the chances of it actually happening were very slim. (As a side note, I have learned to stop doubting what can happen when Bobby Warren is on your side.) It just so happened that in the early part of the year 2000, a … [Read more...]

Thankful This Guy Found Me
Today is Thanksgiving 2016. I am so thankful for many things in my life, but Bobby Warren tops the list. On this weekend 22 years ago he asked me to marry him. (We met at Cincinnati Bible College and Seminary.) The exact day was Sunday night after we had both returned to Cincinnati after going to our respective families to celebrate the holiday and let them know that we had found each other. We had already decided to get married in the following March, but as I told my family, nothing was … [Read more...]
Animation for Any Generation
I have a confession to make. I have no problem going to an animated film (aka cartoon) without taking a child being with me.

Bobby and I did just that a couple … [Read more...]
Saying Goodbye to a Good Friend
Ever since my mom Wendi started her blog, she has given me a chance to write posts every so often. While I typically love to do it, I must admit I wasn't too excited this time. The reason is 'cause I am writing about one of my dearest friends who left me this week to go to the rainbow bridge. My grandparents' dog Corky left us late on Tuesday night. Corky was a Beagle Labrador mix. He was about 12 years old. I met him when he was 9, but my parents are the ones responsible for him being … [Read more...]
Owney: My Vacation with Uncle Shaun
I know my mom and dad, Wendi and Bobby, have posted a lot about their vacation to see Dad's side of the family in Boston. I am sure everyone would agree that it looked like they had an awesome time. But while they were out East, I stayed in Ohio with Mom's side of the family. I usually stay with Grandma and Grandpa, which I love. (In fact, you can read about how much here.) This time, though, Grandma and Grandpa were vacationing at the same time as Mom and Dad. So, I got the best surprise ever! … [Read more...]
