Before you go all nuts and think that we decided to adopt from Korea instead of Thailand and our son has already come over, just know that you’re crazy. If you think that international adoption would move that quickly, then you’re crazy. No, no, we volunteered to temporarily house a Korean student who is attending UTD. … Continue reading

Death Wears Purple Running Shoes: Week 1
We’ve started training for this half-marathon this week. We’ve had multiple people say that they’re going to sign up, which is amazing and just reassures me that we have awesome people in our lives. I’ve had some very helpful advice about http://www.runnersworld.com. I am requesting citizenship to their world but they’re still not sure. I … Continue reading
Step 1: Find a Realtor
I’m in love. With our realtor. She sealed the deal when she asked, “Who’s driving the bus in this decision?” and then secretly pointed at me and mouthed, You, you, you while Alex was hemming and hawing about who makes the financial decisions. This woman gets it. At that point, I said “WHERE’S THE DOTTED LINE … Continue reading
D. C: The END
Day 5 This day was a whirlwind of activity and I’m, quite frankly, running out of steam (and so are you, probably) so I’m just going to break it down into a bullet list: Library of Congress tour- Wow! I’m so glad that we did this. The Library of Congress is a BEAUTIFUL building. It’s … Continue reading
D.C. Day 4
Day 4 We woke up bright and early to go on our tour of the Capitol. We had to meet at our U.S. Congressperson’s office. Pete Sessions office looked like the Texas Flag threw up- seriously Texas themed everything. We took a very patriotic picture in his office. Then someone walked us down to the … Continue reading
D.C. Day Three: Wherein my legs and fingers falleth off
The time change really threw us off schedule today. We were running an hour behind allll day. We trekked off this morning to find Bike and Roll DC, which is where I had reserved two Trek Comfort bikes (plus kids equipment) for us. I didn’t know what the “kids equipment” entailed but I noted strongly … Continue reading
DC Day Two
We limped over to the Metro to ride to the Eastern Market. Alex’s knee pits were on fire and I was walking on blisters to meet my friend, Emily, who’s lived in DC for about 4 years. After looking around at the market, we walked towards the Capitol and met up with a friend of Em’s. … Continue reading
D.C. Day One
We just got back from a Spring Break jaunt to our nation’s Capitol. I know what you’re thinking. Why didn’t I blog about the hours of preparation that we did and how excited I was about going? Well, because my dad told me to never write about your travels on the internet, just in case … 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. I love sending people mail but I just bought replacement ink for our printer after months of us talking about … Continue reading
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
