>Three days. Inside. Not counting the morning I spent slurping water up off the garage floor after the hot water heater kicked the bucket and started an ice skating rink in the garage! Good times. I have worked on some grad school stuff, so that has been helpful. Typing on an iPod Touch is stress-inducing…

> Uploaded with plasq‘s Skitch! Here’s my kid. Isn’t he fabulous? I cannot believe it’s been so long since I’ve posted a new entry here. Maybe I was just thinking that I should not involve the whole world in the drama of everyday Elkins life. Maybe I was just tired. Maybe I was working 50…

>Seriously? has it been almost two years since I wrote on here? Embarrassing. Of course, in those two years, Chris and I have bought a home, and within seconds of closing, it seems, I was pregnant. I didn’t know it for nearly two months (guess that’s the mark of an easy pregnancy, huh?), so it…

>Famously, the willow tree is able to bend and give and twist and not break. I am not willowy. There, I admitted it. I am stiff and staunch and stubborn, like the oak tree. That is what the last several months of my life have taught me with its cumulative experiences. I see things a…

>Raise your hand if you are sick and tired of hearing about me and my hives outbreaks! Seriously. They are back. Again. I am not completely covered (yet), but they appear to be spreading at a breakneck rate. I am tapering off of yet another round of steroids, and they are making me insane. Like,…

>Well, it’s been one month since the big day, and we are both still alive! I know, that sounds like it should have been at least a minimal expectation! I was finally able to move out of my Mesquite house last weekend, with the help of my mom, Chris, my brother Jason and my friend…

>Let it be known that, from this point forward, every entry that I write will officially be written because I am trying to avoid doing something far more practical with 5 days left till the wedding! Today, it would be packing my entire house. I have a giant Marks-A-Lot marker taped to a lanyard hanging…

>Yes, that is correct. I called yesterday to check on the status of alterations on my wedding dress, and after asking me to spell my name about 100 times, the woman at the shop, who could not FIND my dress finally said, “Let me get a number, Christi, where I can call you back. It…

> That’s Lori Kay Lorenz on the left (friend since the wombs) and my sister Tara Evers on the right. My sister, Karyn Wright, could not be with us because she was working and/or being trapped in a blizzard in Long Island, NY. Oh, and she was sick, too. She’s in Dallas right now and…

> I am certain that Emily Post would turn over in her grave if she actually saw me sliding out of my chair this way at a bridal shower in my honor. But, then, i’m also fairly certain that if Emily Post paid really close attention to me in my daily life, she’d pretty much…
