Hey there- Finally being licensed is a little crazy. Like we look at pictures on our computer screens and think, “Could we be their parents?” and then we send our home study into the great void and hope that it will cough a “Yes” back up at some point. I don’t know how many we’ve … Continue reading

2013: A Year in Review
Well, friends, Man, what a year. I, for one, am glad that the world did not end in 2012. If I had to characterize this year as one thing, I would say it was the YEAR OF LEARNING. I’m getting older and, I actually feel it, a little wiser. Yes, I still have BIG FEELINGS … Continue reading
6 Years: Into the Fog
Every year, Alex and I trade off doing a surprise trip for our anniversary. Last year, Alex took me to San Antonio; the year before that, I dragged him up to Oklahoma. Would you like to know what we did today? We bought $80 worth of socks and underwear at American Apparel and then we … Continue reading
Lay Mih-zer-ob
My dad came into town yesterday. We went to lunch, took him to the new park downtown, and of course, we had to do the traditional Feemster afternoon nap. When we asked if he wanted to see a movie, he immediately said that he wanted to see “Les Miserables”. When I cringed, he did something … Continue reading

2012: A Year in Review
Well, friends- Nothing exciting has happened this year. Check back with us in 2013. Love, Beth and Alex I’M JUST KIDDING. Gosh, you’re just so gullible. Yesterday, our pastor made us turn to our neighbor and talk about how we would define this past year. It only took me about .2 seconds to come up … Continue reading
Awkward Family Photos
I often decide that it would be really funny to ______________ only to find out as I’m doing it that it’s horribly, horribly, “I’m-gonna-die” embarrassing. I don’t know why I do this over and over again but apparently, I just can’t learn. Case in point? Please view my driver’s license for my 18th birthday.Oh, sure. … Continue reading
Dear Daughter: Present Parenting
Hey little one- When I was growing up, this was a common occurrence in our house. The sound of my dad playing the guitar, singing old songs, is one that will stick with me forever. Sometimes my mom would join in with her sweet sing-song voice. Sometimes your aunt Leah and I would dance around. … Continue reading
Death Wears Purple Running Shoes: Special Biking Edition
Alex and I took a week off from running to train for the Tour de Gap. Haven’t heard of it? Haven’t heard of the bike race in Buffalo Gap, Texas which is a city that has approximately 432 people? Okay, weirdo. It’s a bike race benefitting a local food bank and you can choose from … Continue reading
