In July of 2007, two months before my and Brian’s wedding, I made a trip up to Sacramento to take care of some wedding planning-related essentials. One of those essentials was me carrying my wedding dress onto a plane and leaving it at my parents’ house so that it would be there when it was [...]

It’s official. I’ve returned to nerd mode.
After I finished my online quiz for Medical Terminology this afternoon, I manuevered over to the Blackboard site for my Anatomy class. After clicking through some insignificant links, I came to the Interactive Anatomy link, and decided to give it a try. What I found was a goldmine of [...]

About two weeks ago, I was on the beach with my friend Alyssa, and I told her that God had given me an intense impression that would not go away: these next four months are going to be the best four months of my and Brian’s entire lives up to this point. A few days later, I [...]

In six days, Brian and I will be celebrating our one-year anniversary of marriage. Ironically, in the past week or so, I have been working through a simple yet philosophical question: What is marriage? And even beyond that, What is a godly marriage?
Sometimes it is so much easier to define something when you are not [...]
on becoming “an old lady”
Posted in Uncategorized on August 17, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This past Thursday was my 25th birthday.
I have secretly longed for and dreaded the day that I would turn 25. Longed for it because, as I work with parents and their kids in both of my jobs, 25 just sounds way better than 24 (Twenty-four sounds like I’m still fresh out of college. Twenty-five sounds like a real adult, or [...]

Today I had an “awww” moment. You know when something happens that’s really sweet, and it makes you say, “awww”? Yeah, that.
I have an adorable four-year-old girl that I teach in one of my motor groups at the clinic on Thursdays. After I walked her and her class back out to the lobby to meet [...]

Day 2 - Tuesday, July 1, 2008
Waking up in Yosemite without the responsibility of cooking breakfast over a tiny flame and miniature dishes similar to the tin ones you would see in a prison movie was quite a treat. The only drag was that our room didn’t have a bathroom, so we had to [...]

Brian and I are excited about being married. So excited, in fact, that we ended up taking our one-year anniversary vacation this past week - the week of the 4th of July. Well, maybe that’s not entirely true. I mean, we are excited about being married. That much is true. [...]

As I sit here in a Pismo Beach coffee shop, on the second-to-last day of our vacation, I find myself surrounded by several quaint-looking mugs that host a myriad of inspiring, energizing quotes that are meant to expand the boundaries of possibility within my own mind.
