Mrs. Enginerd - Nerd Whisperer
Fact: My husband stumbles about the world clueless. He doesn’t know what he wants, where he is going, and much less how to get what he needs to solve for the other two. Every time a priest mentions in a wedding homily that the wife must follow the husband my spidey senses tingle. What if […]
No. Nein. Nee. Não. Non. Niet. Nil. Nah. It was definitely NOT worth it. The group work. The sleepless nights. The tests and point grabs.

For those following the story, year four was mid-late 2012/2013. Due to the DUI event horizon that […]
This year, 2018, marks the 10th anniversary of my wedding to W. As part of the celebration, I will be documenting our relationship from the proposal up to the wedding, and each year up to our 10th anniversary. The year was 2011…*sigh* It’s hard to start this post knowing there is no redeeming quality for […]
