Today Tam and I went to have our tattoos touched up. It’s a free service that you get after a tattoo to make sure everything is just perfect. I got a few vines on my heart and flowers, and got some pink on my fairy’s wings as well as a […]
Last week, we took a vacation to Helen, GA. This is a Bavarian town in the Appalachian foothills. Before Tam’s mom passed, she had secretly been planning a trip to Georgia with her, Tam, Brad, and me. She was still getting brochures in the mail when we moved in. They […]
Yesterday we had the best day! It started off with a really helpful phone call in the morning that really eased everyone’s mind about how taxes work. Next, Tam and I left to do some errands. We started off at the post office to mail Tam’s amended tax returns. It […]
Last week we had to go to Columbia. We decided to make a day of it and go to lunch and the South Carolina State Museum. We had planned to go to a Mexican restaurant downtown for lunch, but we ended up parking in front of a Korean BBQ restaurant, […]
For family day this March, we went to Discovery Place Science. This is a science and natural history museum in Charlotte. It is very kid friendly, and is often a magnet for school groups. We arrived around 11:30 in the morning, and went in the top level (where the accessible […]

Tonight really showed me that even the best service dog isn’t a cure-all. We had an HOA meeting, and I had been busy all day getting ready to go on my upcoming trip to visit my parents. I was nervous about the meeting before we left, because it’s meeting with […]
Yesterday we celebrated Valentine’s Day! Brad and I have never really celebrated holidays before, but Tam LOVES holidays so we’re getting used to celebrating them with her. This is our first Valentine’s Day together as a family of three (a year ago Tam was still in the hospital). When we […]
On Friday we had several errands to get done. Felix worked hard the day before at Sam’s, and was tired. Plus I’m trying to get used to going out without him more, as my eventual plan is to not need a service dog anymore. When Felix retires, I will take […]
Yesterday morning when Brad and Tam woke up, we talked about what to do that day. We had wanted to place a Walmart order, but they were out of almost everything we wanted to order! So instead we decided to go to Sam’s Club. And we decided to stop at […]
