Ghost Peppers

There are just some moments in your marriage that make you bust out laughing.  Like truly fall out on the floor laughing.  Tonight we shared one of those moments.

Friday, Porch & I were out grocery shopping and he found a new type of salsa made by his favorite brand, Mrs. Renfro's.  Personally, I'm not a masochist, but we all know Porch is so we bought it:  Ghost Pepper Salsa.

Last night, we were talking about whatever and he randomly starts talking about how wouldn't it be fun for me to video his reaction to said salsa?   I shrugged and decided I would likely have nothing better to do.

Cue tonight.  We were due to be at a wedding but I was not feeling very well and the heat was kicking my ass.  So we stuck close to home and I took advantage of a cat nap.  Sad, but true.  It's like a thousand degrees here today & while we're kicking it on the couch in front of the fan, watching Parks & Rec on Netflix (we live a pretty classy life), Porch announces, "I think I'm ready to try my salsa now."

I sprint down the hall to get my Flip! video camera.  Wouldn't want you guys to miss this one...

You're welcome in advance.
Also, we probably need to get out more.
Or drink more water or something.  The heat makes people crazy.

Update:  the video I posted was too big I think.  So I made you this amazing video with the Flip software -- enjoy.



The video is actually 10 minutes long.  If you ever want to see the entire thing (we know you don't), we can certainly share that gem with you.



Notice:  We were in no way compensated for posting about Mrs. Renfro's, Netflix, or Parks & Rec, or my Flip camera. It was just a normal Saturday evening at Casa de Los Porchs. But if we had been, that'd be pretty sweet (and a little less depressing, right?).

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

Baptizing Le Nugget

There they are... got my first big hit of hormonal pregnancy tears this morning as I thought about baptizing our daughter & where we'd like to baptize her.  It just kind of hit me all at once with more clarity than I could have ever expected. Let me back up a hot second; we attended a Lutheran Easter service this Sunday while visiting family and I was so totally turned off by this pastor's sermon and approach that it made me really reflect on what my beliefs are and when I feel most connected to a sense of faith.  Porch and I spoke in great detail about our hopes for our daughter and none of them included the messages being delivered at that Easter service -- the implicit messages, obviously.  There's not a terrible amount of difference between the Lutheran service and the Catholic service, but there was just a vibe that turned us both off. As I drove to work this morning, it came over me as I was thinking about where we could baptize our daughter.  We don't ...

It doesn't matter how slow you go...

I saw this online the other day and at first, thought how appropriate it is for what Porch & I have been attempting lately (lots of running) but after some deeper thought and revisiting, I've come to think of this as being more fitting for our story on the road to making a tiny human. I think it's appropriate, meaningful, and inspirational all at once.  A great reminder that no matter how slow we move, how many baby steps (no pun intended) we take, as long as we keep moving forward, it's better than giving up in frustration.  I once had a colleague tell me that it was only important that we "keep moving forward, no matter what."  That mantra has stuck with me for years and I've come to apply it personally and professionally.  It's okay that this is taking time.  It's our story and it will never be the same as anyone else's story. Likewise, I am not a runner.  I honestly don't even know why I started running, but damn it.  It feels so ...
