My husband is kind of nerdy. Of course, I love this because it makes him unpretentious, interesting, and a perfect compliment to his wife, who is also a big nerd. We talk about our poor adoptive children who will think that talking in funny voices and breaking out into club dancing (at least a close … Continue reading

Vow of Shhhhhhut It
I don’t think I’ve made it any secret that I have trouble controlling my mouth. Sometimes I have a filter and sometimes I let it all hang out. Sometimes I make little girls cry when I scold them in the grocery store and sometimes I accidentally ask my checkout lady if the little boy in … Continue reading
Unsolicited Advice for My Sister #5: It’s Okay to Cry
There was alot of crying in my family growing up. Not because we were all abused or sad- just because we had alot of feelings.

Unsolicited Advice for My Sister #3: Fight Clean
Alex and I don’t fight alot- only if we’re both hungry or we’re playing board games. If we’re hungry and playing board games, then someone’s going to get their eyebrows scratched off.

I’m in love. I’m in love. And I don’t care who knows 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
Unsolicited Advice for My Sister #2: Put that Bridezilla away.
I only had two Bridezilla moments before my wedding. At least that’s all I can remember. Birth control was pulsing through my system and so I may have had moments where I transformed into a hulking green bridal monster and ran through brick walls slicing through innocent bystanders’ arteries with my incisors. Maybe I did. … Continue reading
{Unsolicited} Advice for My Sister #1- Enjoy the Moment
So, my sister got engaged on Sunday. It was really sweet. Her boyfriend/now-fiance, Tyler, called me last week to tell me. I tried to help him out, but really I just did annoying things like send cryptic text messages about biking to communicate what time we were getting in to Abilene so that Leah wouldn’t read … Continue reading
None In The Oven
Since all of you only read this blog to find out why there is a picture of Alex in a hospital bed or to find out if I am pregnant, I thought I would write a little ditty on why only one of those two things could be true. This blog might be controversial. I’m not … Continue reading
Saving my Husband from Imminent Danger
Sometimes it’s not a stranger who needs saving. Here’s how my Saturday has gone: I, napping in bed, am awoken by a phone call from my husband, who left early in the morning to go bike riding. “I don’t feel so good. I think you need to come pick me up.” “Okay. Where are you?” “I’m on the trail … Continue reading
