Your life, your feelings
A friend of mine recently discovered she is pregnant. On the day she found out for sure, she cried. She was bummed. And then, because she is a human woman, she felt guilty for not feeling how she thought she should feel. This baby, this little peanut growing inside of her now, was not planned. … Continue reading Your life, your feelings
Weepy Sunday // Domingo llorón
Sometimes I get a little weepy in church. Not the kind of weepy everyone can see - I'm pretty good at keeping it together - but the kind of emotional weepy that has me covertly wiping my eyes during worship and quietly sniffling during prayer.

The Quiet Inside, A Short Story
Mr. Dager asked us to write about our favorite place. I thought on it long and hard and by the end of the class period I was still sat there in my desk, thinking long and hard.

Here’s the thing about marriage and babies
The other day I got together with some girls I've known since middle school. It had been quite a few years since we were all together and so we did what all old friends do after a significant time apart. "So and so got married." "This guy has a baby. But not a wife!" "They're … Continue reading Here’s the thing about marriage and babies

A couple reminders and a few FYIs
A few FYIs: I'm really good at Just Dance 3 for the Wii. I'm also just kinda sore from all of those five stars performances I performed yesterday during our day off. I genuinely enjoy cooking. Who knew? I've started listening to my Christmas Pandora station and there's no turning back now. It's all Christmas … Continue reading A couple reminders and a few FYIs
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want
I used to follow a whole bunch of blogs. I had them all bookmarked and practically every day I would run down the list to see if anyone had posted anything new. I realized after a few months that reading about other people's marriages and kids and houses only made me want those things more. … Continue reading I’ll tell you what I want, what I really really want
