True Love

The other day, my sister tweeted something that caused my heart to stop cold.

I immediately picked up the phone to call. Mammer answered.
Mam: Hi Auntie Jeni!
Me: Hi Mammer! What are you doing?
Mam: Oh, just talking to you.
Me: Oh! Well, Mam, mommy told me you have a girlfriend. What’s up with that?
Mam: Don’t worry Auntie Jeni. [...]

I’ve been sick (and other excuses)

It’s always hard for me to write when I come back from vacation. It’s been doubly hard this time since I’ve been sick since the moment I landed in Seattle. So sick, in fact, I missed an awesome PNW blogger get together I had been looking forward to for weeks.

And sometimes you know. You know that the decision is huge and will forever change the course of your life.

That’s not to say that I had a [...]
