I did not grow up an adventurous eater. In fact, the only green thing I would eat was green beans from a can. My parents tried to get me to eat peas, but a mother can only handle so much sighing at the dinner table so she finally gave up. In daycare, I would lick the … Continue reading

Repost: Eat it, Materialism
(originally posted November 28, 2005) Currently learning: I don’t need all this stuff I have Today I have been terribly frustrated by things. I carried THREE bags to school today for my various activities throughout the day and things are just getting so awkard. For example, I can never get my purse off when I … Continue reading
Jesus>Religion
This is too good not to share. The words are below: What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion What if I told you voting republican really wasn’t his mission What if I told you republican doesn’t automatically mean Christian And just because you call some people blind Doesn’t automatically give you vision … Continue reading

2011: A Year in Review
Hello friends and family- If you were breathlessly checking your mailbox every day for a Christmas letter from Alex and Beth, you can breathe now. Here it is….in all its glory. Don’t get me wrong.

Pride Cometh in The Fall
I don’t have alot of embarassing moments-mostly because, in yet another trait I get from my fahter, I’m not usually self-aware enough to be embarassed when I should. For example, I should have been embarassed when I wore a white shirt and khaki pants every day for at least six weeks in middle school, but … Continue reading
Unsolicited Advice for My Sister #3: Fight Clean

Sometimes we start off “play arguing” and then it escalates into a situation. EXAMPLE: My car is my sanctuary. My dirty teenage girl … Continue reading
They Call Me “The Hammer”

People think that I am a pushover when they see me. I guess I used to be, once a long time … Continue reading
I’m in love. I’m in love. And I don’t care who knows it.
(Yesterday was my husband’s birthday. For his birthday present, I did not publicize (much) the fact that it is his birthday (since he hates celebrating it). But today, I am free to do as I please and I have decided to repost this blog. For those of you that don’t know, Alex and I met in late … Continue reading

You know that “I’m not being recognized for my efforts here” feeling you get in the pit of your stomach. It could really be in any part of your life- friends that ignore your nice guestures, bosses that deny the fact you’re doing good work, boys that refuse to like you even though you’re clearly in … Continue reading
