Heather is basically my favorite. This blonde bombshell of a woman interned with us last summer and is now a permanent part of the team here at The Youngrens. While much of her work is remote, she spends plenty of quality time cozying up to Jeff and me here in the...
I had no idea that I was The Hot Librarian. Jeff was a biology major in college, and he spent most of his waking hours in the library studying with his biology classmates – a group that Jeff likes to call ‘The Nerdlings.’ I was a Literature major and spent many...
My sign would read: Scooter rides until we're 90 years old. What would your sign say? PS The old couple at the end makes me cry every time. My greatest goal in life is to be them someday. Hugs,...
In 2009, we celebrated in Venice. In 2010, we were traveling Southeast Asia. This year, we're riding scooters around our neighborhood in San Diego. It never seems to matter where we are or what we're doing. Valentine's Day has always made me fall in love all over...
I woke up with a horrible case of the Cranky Pants on Monday morning. And like most Cranky-Pants syndromes, it was for absolutely no reason. Jeff and I have learned to communicate in very special ways and we’ve figured out that when I wake up a little *eh-hem*...
It’s the only time that I've ever swore in front of my mother-in-law – at least I’m pretty sure it was. It all took place last summer, after a really crazy month of shooting and traveling. Of stressing out about the messy house. Of laundry. Of album designs. Of...
I feel like I’ve been talking a lot about dreams lately, but to be honest, that’s just kinda where I am. I’m in the middle of forcing myself to dream BIG. And it scares me to death. Dreaming big is scary and painful and thrilling all at the same time. I don’t...
His hand reached across the center console and covered mine. As he wrapped his fingers between my thumb and index finger and slowed to a stop at the red light, my chest tightened into a million lumps. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t think that big. There was just so...
Today is my birthday! Yay! Jeff and I are headed out the door for some birthday fun, and everything is a total surprise! I'm soooooo excited! I just wanted to hop on here and say that we've been having so much fun with our holiday giveaways and there's tons more...
My only wish for the day was to not screw anything up. As long as the turkeys weren't dry, the house didn't burn down, and the stuffing didn't run out, I would be ok. Everything would be ok. The time and effort and expense of being completely over our heads with...
Happy Post-Thanksgiving Monday everybody! I hope everyone has a fabulous day back into the 'real world'... The dust is still settling from our crazy weekend of turkey/friends/shopping/holiday bliss and we're putting our noses to the grindstone as we move head-on...
It's our first time ever cooking a turkey and we're doing it today. All of our family is out of town for Thanksgiving this year, so Jeff and I decided to throw a big post-Thanksgiving feast for all of our friends in town. We've been spending the past two weeks...
