Getting Ready for Marriage

December 30, 2009
" Early marriage needs to become more normal among Christians, argue numerous sources I came across while single. Yesterday, reading the article “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” reminded me of this topic again. Settling down with a spouse in one’s early twenties, as opposed to waiting indefinitely for financial stability or other favorable circumstances, can [...]"

home for Christmas

December 15, 2009
"You know that feeling you have when you’re getting over an illness? It’s kind of disorienting, like the world just wobbled on its axis. I have my little routine and plan for getting things done and getting ready for Christmas, and I was totally thrown off by being out of commission this weekend. (I know, [...]"

The newest happenings

September 03, 2009
"Yesterday A.J. and I went in for our 18-week ultrasound. It was very fun to have him there with me for the first time, especially because he missed the first ultrasound (I didn’t know I would be getting one done on that day). We were excited, of course, because this was the “anatomy ultrasound,” which [...]"

I’m still here

August 20, 2009
"Clearly I should win a Most Infrequent Blogger award this year. But I’ve been very sick for the past 10 weeks or so. One visit to the emergency room, a blessed anti-nausea prescription, and a couple weeks into the second trimester later, I’m sitting here mid-morning actually feeling somewhat like my old self. And as [...]"

Where is the summer going?

July 08, 2009
"It’s been my most unusual summer ever – as compared to the rest of my life, I suppose. Although that’s kind of a funny way of putting it, and I know of at least a couple people who would make fun of me for that. And the exception could be the July I spent in [...]"

Sick Days

July 01, 2009
"I fell off the face of the blogosphere – and it seems like the planet – this weekend, with my sickness becoming more severe again for a few days. It’s lightened up a little now, and I actually feel somewhat close to normal this morning. That’s a welcome sensation! Chronic nausea, as my dad calls it, [...]"

Superwoman Wannabe

June 25, 2009
" I have a picture in my head of myself as a wife and mother. It involves basic elements of housewifery which I know are my responsibility – cooking, doing laundry, cleaning, and making beds. My mental image also includes much more than the basics. Every morning, I will rise early, get ready for the day, and [...]"

The next big thing

June 24, 2009
" I have to pinch myself lately, because it’s one thing after another! A year ago I never expected that I would be married right now. And I definitely didn’t expect that I would be expecting my first baby! Yes, you read right. We are already expecting our first, due around the first week of February [...]"

I dearly miss writing

June 01, 2009
" It’s been a bit of a hiatus, eh, readers? I’ve almost forgotten how to blog – and it used to be my biggest hobby. True, I had a few minor distractions, such as getting engaged, moving across country, and getting married. I hope I still have a few people who are interested in reading! Thanks for [...]"
