You wouldn't think the two would go together, pregnancy and war, but oh, they do. From the minute I started even thinking my body might be hosting a new life in the near future, I started preparing. I started taking prenatal vitamins 4 months (yes, pretty much right when we got engaged) before the wedding, … Continue reading My Birth Story, Part I: Pregnancy and War

Fighting For Peace
There's a fine, dotted line between letting something go and standing up for oneself. It feels like a seesaw, where it's not any fun when you're always letting things go and becoming a bitter pushover, and it's no fun at all to make a fuss over every bump on the road.

DAILY DEVOS RETURN…

As the tears rolled, because of how I was kneeling, they went up to my eyebrows … Continue reading Crying, Birthing, & Dating
Yolo, Dating, and Starting Over
I've blogged before about 5 dating tips. I've given you a blog about how a man should pursue a woman. I've talked about how I sorta believe there is a "one" out there. And here I find myself single at 27, not like that's a problem. You see, I am a scientist, through and through. … Continue reading Yolo, Dating, and Starting Over
