Love, The Derricks

I wanted to buy our Christmas cards on Shutterfly because I can always find great deals there. But T.J. would not have it, clearly, because why would we buy a Christmas card that everyone can buy he is a professional graphic designer and can design one just for us?

A Small Act of Kindness

Last week when I flew into Utah, I had a layover in Phoenix and missed my flight because my first flight was delayed. I don’t really want to go into all the details because it just makes me angry. But I had to pay for a crappy hotel in Phoenix for the night and on […]

Jersey City Ward Christmas Party

The Saturday before I left for Utah, we went to our Ward Christmas party. It was in the afternoon, so there was a lunch, gingerbread house decorating stations, and tons of dancing surprisingly. It was a great turn out and a lot of fun. Our Ward sure knows how to throw great parties! From the […]

Eva is TWO!

My little baby is TWO YEARS OLD! I cannot believe it! It feels just like yesterday when we checked into the hospital. Heck, it feels just like yesterday when I found out we were expecting! And here we are. With a two year old! Since we were in DC for Eva’s actual birthday, my sister […]
