My Husband Makes Me Laugh

Of all the things I adore about Brett, his ability to make me laugh until I cry on a regular basis is probably my favorite. His humor diffuses tense situations, and he is just hysterically funny.

I love to laugh, and I am so thankful God gave me a funny, funny guy.

This story will probably not entertain anyone else (because I am not writing out the whole conversation, but it made me laugh so hard that I just want to remember it always):

A few nights ago, we were talking before bed. He's been watching a TV show about zombies and started sharing his theory about zombies.....and a detailed account on how he would survive in the event that zombies take over the world.
For like 5 minutes, he was completely serious in his account, and I was hiding my face....trying not to laugh. I actually thought he was serious. He went into such detail that I thought he had really thought this thru.
Finally, I could take it no longer and burst out laughing. He started laughing, too, and said, "I wondered how long you were going to believe my story."

I laughed and laughed and laughed. Normally, I can tell when he's being funny (which a lot of people can't, which makes for some really awkward moments in life), but this time, he seemed totally serious. It was out of character for him, but I still totally fell for it.

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
