After a significant amount of effort, we have published Letters From Tim to a hardbound coffee table book. If you are so inclined, you may order the book from Blurb by clicking here. It is a 264 page book that includes each post (with the exception of the videos) along with beautiful layouts [...]
We all have them. Mine are now conveniently cataloged in the pages of my Listography book. One of my biggest pet peeves came through me like a tidal wave as I was taking the girls for a nice stroll through the neighborhood today. So here are my top four:
1) I [...]

Special thanks to…Everyone that has made a special visit. We, especially appreciate our neighbors that quickly gathered a pot luck together.
Okay..I am totally hooked! This book is a slam-dunk for me.
I was in Chicago this past weekend. While my friend, Molly and I, were perusing through all of the funky books at Urban Outfitters I came across what surely will be one of my all-time-favorite books…Listography.
I have often regretted [...]
I was driving around today and felt compelled to call Tim’s voice mail. I called twice. I even left a message. I just missed being able to randomly pick up the phone to call my husband. I actually had to think about what his number was though.
It reminded me of a different time in my [...]
The highlight of our Christmas Day was having Tim join us for our premier video conference. It was great for us all to see him for the first time in 146 days wearing a Santa hat! We stayed connected for three hours as we opened presents and talked. He even had me [...]
I received a forwarded message from a friend this evening about a woman in similar circumstances that has been following the blog. She has four children (7,4,2,3mos) and her husband will soon be deployed. Anyway, she wants to get Daddy Dolls for her children…a wise choice.
I sent her the link and decided to [...]
A Special Veterans Day Salute to INDIANA SOLDIERS
WKLU 101.9 is going commercial free on Veteran’s Day to air audio from Tim’s unit in Iraq. On Sunday, November 11th tune into WKLU 101.9 all day to hear the voices of these soldiers and their messages sent back home to Indianapolis.
The following soldiers are a few who [...]
It occurred to me as I was driving along the highway this weekend that Tim and the rest of the soldiers probably haven’t seen puffy, white clouds against a solid, blue sky since they left. It seems as if we have had days of perfect weather…although quite a bit hotter for this time of [...]
I remember having a nightmare before Tim was deployed that everyone got sick at once. In the dream, in order to regulate the cleanup, I put everyone on a futon mattress on the tile floor in the basement. The nightmare came true, unfortunately I neglected to follow through on the keen strategy. [...]
I do not want to publish the unit specifics on this blog. So email me - if you would like the mailing address for Tim.
By the way, I have some suggestions of items to send. Do not send baked goods…they will not make it (it is ~130 degrees there during the day). Don’t bother trying to send [...]
Tim arrives home tomorrow for one week before they depart for Iraq. We are looking forward to a great visit and lots of family time. I will post some images of his arrival.
…
Special thanks to…Tracy, Sheryl and Beth for all dropping off delicious dinners. With the extra kids in the house it has [...]
Happy Anniversary to my Partner! Eleven years ago we had a fabulous Chicago wedding. There isn’t anything we would have done differently. It was perfect. We even surprised our guests by dancing the Tango.
I was thinking how incomprehensible it probably would have been for me to consider loving anyone as deeply as Tim [...]
In order to protect the soldiers that Tim is deployed with, I have removed the address from the blog. After the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01, the Department of Defense established new rules and regulations regarding mail being sent to our service members. So…if you are interested in sending something to Tim…please contact me via email [...]
Everyone,
If you know Tiffany, even peripherally, you know what an incredible woman, wife, businessperson, and mother she is to our children.
Writing multiple letters everyday was simply a reflection of the “time-available” in that stage in our lives. Now we have four beautiful children, managed by a beautiful CFO (Chief Family Officer).
I’ll gladly forego all letters, [...]
When Tim was in Ranger School, I sent him at least two letters a day…often times more. Partly because I wanted to really support him and keep his spirits high. Partly because I was absolutely in love with him and could not hardly bear being seperated for three long months. Really because I [...]
Many have inquired about Tim’s address so here it is.
THIS HAS BEEN DELETED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES. PLEASE CONTACT TIFFANY FOR TIM’S MAILING ADDRESS.
Many have asked what they can send to Tim and other deployed soldiers. So…I obtained this list from the most outstanding Family Readiness Group Leader, Denise Strange. We are waiting to find out if we will be able to ship packages from the Armory for free. I will keep you posted.There are some [...]
Tim will be checking the following email while deployed if you would like to get in touch with him directly…stoner.is@gmail.com
By the way…doesn’t he look like a total stud in this image…kind of like in Top Gun! Love it.
