This last week I had the opportunity to go back to Washington DC – my home away from home. One of my coworkers and myself got to spend the week at the Emergence Conference learning more about iMIS. If you haven’t heard of iMIS, google it. 🙂 It was a great week, and I loved

Harvest is in full swing now and it’s as crazy as it usually is. Dan is gone for longer periods of time, and I never know when I’m going to see him next. He has long days and long nights of harvesting beans and corns, fighting Mother Nature to get it done before the weather
October 8 was Dobby’s “gotcha day” and I’ve officially had my boy for seven years. It’s crazy to think it’s been that long already! I got him about a month after I moved back to South Dakota, and I even got him shortly before I met Dan. We’ve been through a lot in the last

This week, we said goodbye to my Grandma Reiffenberger – or Grandma in the Blue House, as we used to call her when we were little. We knew this day was coming, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I’m not sure you can ever truly prepare yourself to lose a loved one. She was
Each week when I don’t have a good idea of what I’m going to blog about, I tell Dan I’m just going to write about how good looking he is. And every time he rolls his eyes at me and goes, “please don’t.” WELL, I’m not going to write about how good looking he is,
School is back in session and believe it or not, but next week is September already. And you know what that means: it’s almost the best time of the year! I’ve often told myself that September 1 – December 31 is my favorite time of the year. Not only is September my birthday month, but
