Part of what I love about the girls' names is that they were both popular 100 years ago and many people with those names are now great-grandmas. Both names evoke a vision for me of sweet old ladies rocking away together on a porch. I pray Ella and Sadie will live meaningful lives full of love and will be enjoying each other on a front porch somewhere many years from now.

Beer & Bacon

When Chris was still sick in bed we bought a few groupon deals online for things that sounded fun. It was a way to stake our claim on a healthy, happy future time where we'd be able to go on dates again and spend our time somewhere besides hospitals and home in bed. We're SO thankful to bed redeeming some of those deals only 4 months after Chris got sick.

This beer and bacon tasting was one of the events we bought while he was still sick in bed. The event was a lot of fun! There were about 10 other couples and a we were all served 7 courses of a tasting menu. Every dish had bacon and was paired by the chef with a beer. Perfect event for foodies like us :-)


A spin on one of my favorite slogans ;-)
The last course was the best!! Chocolate mouse with a graham cracker and bacon crumble paired with a fabulous rich, sweet barleywine beer. Very fun night!
