I’m mildly convinced that I have some sort of sensory processing disorder, since the feel of velvet makes me want to vomit, I would love to plunge my hands into a bucket of rice or small beads, and if Alex gently caresses my arm, I punch him in the kidney. The other day, I threw … Continue reading
Hi baby- Right after I told my parents we were adopting, your grandmother (we want her to be called “Flossie” but she’s not going for it) told me that it is hard to watch your kids go through hard stuff. Even though they’re excited for us, they knew that adoption is a hard journey. Oh … Continue reading
I went to a Natural Dye workshop today, which turned out to be one of the coolest things I’ve done in Dallas thus far. My friend Kara and I headed out this morning to Ponder, TX, which is a stone’s throw from Denton, the “Austin” of the DFW area. The workshop was at a cool … Continue reading
The other day, Alex wanted to go on up to our local library and get a card. So we hopped on the scooter and scooted on up to the local library. While he was getting his card, I meandered on over to my usual section- the Young Adult section. Just to give you a picture … Continue reading

I’m talking about the Church- … Continue reading

I hope to encourage you today. I’m impressed by you. You’ve come to a country that’s half-a-world away to a culture that is completely … Continue reading
I may have mentioned before that field trips at my job are a little, how do you say, insane. Generally, we’ve got a group of about 70 adults (sometimes with kids) that we need to get on a train, off a train, and to the right location. It’s a bit like herding cats, except that … Continue reading
Does this picture make you want one of our adoption fundraiser t-shirts? Good news! You can buy one! (More info here) Continue reading
Because I am a a psycho who likes to stress herself out, we hosted a conspiracy dinner a mere week after we moved into our new house. Before the move, I was clipping letters out of magazines to glue onto the invitations whilst I sat among boxes begging to be packed. (Also, the invitations stated … Continue reading
I run my car into something at least once every two years. I’ve already succeeded this year by running into the garage at work. Alex, on the other hand, has never been in a wreck, which I find amazing and annoying at the same time. Around the time we got married, Alex’s dad traded with … Continue reading
