    Marriages Up in Smoke

    No one gets married with the intent of getting divorced…I take that back. Leanna and Garrison, the characters in my latest novel, “Up in Smoke” do. And actually, I’ve heard stories of other couples that have done the same thing. Crazy, right? But, for the most part, I’d say it’s…

  • Building a Strong Marriage: Happiness Isn’t the Goal in Marriage

    When the wedding is over, and the guests go home, married-life starts. Many of my friends, including myself, are or were military wives.

  • Celebrating Ten Years of Marriage: Now & Then

  • The Most Romantic Evening

    I’m cozied up on the couch with my hubby. The kids are in bed, the lights are down low–an ideal setting for a romantic evening…meh, we’ll just sit here and watch the history channel–WWII is always interesting to learn about.  I’m still all sweaty and gross from my time at…

  • First Kiss

    Who remembers their first kiss? I’m not sure my first kiss counts. I was in the first grade, on a school bus, and the boy beside me leaned in, and then kissed my cheek. I punched him and blacked his eye–one of my finer moments, I confess. I’m not ashamed of…
