And in the end…there is love.

Things you used to not know about me…

And probably wish you still didn’t. (I know, I did an abbreviated list like this one before…but this time, you’ll get all the details. Try to contain yourself.)
So, I think it’s kind of cocky of me to suppose that you even want to know weird facts about me. A few of you will appreciate additional [...]

Go big blue!

I read a friend’s blog tonight, in which she was reminiscing about college…and it made me nostalgic. College wasn’t perfect…I was over committed, chronically fatigued, and living in a constant soap opera. But man, it was fun! Looking back on those four years, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, in a tiny college on [...]

I’m a realist

I’m a realist. Which some people may mistake as a pessimist. Is the glass half full, or half empty? I don’t know, but I’ll probably finish my drink before the waiter comes. You know, that kind of thing. I am definitely a worst case scenario kind of person–prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
I [...]

Always a bridesmaid…

I just realized I never put up pictures from my college roommate, Hollie’s wedding (wedding #2). I was beyond honored that Hollie asked me to be her maid-of-honor, and had a blast at her wedding. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view) I don’t have any pictures of my crazy dancing. You haven’t lived until [...]

To Whom It May Concern Monday Edition

I’m cranky. I’m passive aggressive. And it’s Monday. Enjoy.
Dear Wal-Mart Checker,
Listen, I know that you were just trying to be nice. I understand that you are a kindly old man. But for the love of all that’s holy, you have got to speed things up. When you’re one of two open registers, there’s no time [...]

That’s…awkward

I am pretty much the queen of awkwardness. Whether it’s an inappropriate comment, an uncomfortable pause, or just a word vomiting, I am often either the recipient or the cause of awkwardness. So here, for your reading pleasure, is my top five list of awkwardness.
5- When are you due…to go to the store?
Okay, so this [...]

Everyday Hero

My friend Krissy is one of my heroes. I don’t use the word hero lightly. There are very few people in my life for whom I would use that term. A hero has to have qualities that inspire me. A hero is courageous, even when she is afraid. A hero is brave, even when it [...]

I’m in a funk…

So, over the past month or so, I’ve seen lots of friends. I had two friends to come visit me in Colorado, and I attended two weddings in Virginia, that were veritable family and college reunions.
So, you’d think I’d be happy, right? Wrong.
Some days, like today, I just miss my family and friends. Please don’t [...]

To tide you over…

So, my body hates me. This morning, it told me that it would NOT get out of bed, it needed its full eight hours of sleep, and if it did get out of bed, it would start pumping snot out of my nose and into my stomach at alarming rates. So, suffice it to say, [...]
