Paradise...Found
So we went on a week-long honeymoon to the island of St. Maarten/St. Martin. It is 37 square miles and co-owned by the French on the north side and the Dutch on the south side. We stayed on the south side at the Great Bay Beach Resort. It was a beautiful week, definitely warm, but we had an ocean......Read More

In the blink of an eye...
Time flew and suddenly here I am married for 19 days. It was a beautiful wedding - a true blessing of a day. There were so many ways we both felt the love of those around us and even in those moments of stress or fear or frustration, there was this general sense of peace. I think it......Read More

ready? set? go?
Today is the big day. In about an hour, I will be out of the home I have grown up in nearly my entire life...minus two years in college in Seattle...crazy. I know I'll probably be back a couple of weekends before the wedding but then I will really be a grown woman. Ha. I am filled with......Read More

Turn the page...
Life is about to open up to a new chapter... I am about to move away from home (for the 2nd time) and will embark on a new adventure in a new position in child protection. Three weeks later I will be marrying the most wonderful man. I will then hopefully enjoy a restful and relaxing week with......Read More

Days
I am not sure what I am trusting to happen But I know it has taken days of uneasiness Of restlessness like the creak in the trees of ancient woods What is this life lesson to one day look back upon To search high and low for answers today Only to find silence Patience, my......Read More

Being here and now
With my personality, the culture I live in, and just the intense change going on in my life, I can't seem to ever life for now. To live in the present wholly and joyfully. Instead I'm worrying about the future or mulling over the past and it's just so unsatisfying and empty. But every......Read More

Confidence
Up until this point in life I have always been really pretty confident in my abilities academically and career-wise. Now I'm realizing the realities of life. That you can be as well-respected and skilled in your field as you want, but timing, situations, and the context of one's life......Read More

we're at just over 3 months!
When I stop worrying about getting all of the details of life squared away (which is funny I bother since by the time one detail gets ironed out there's 10 more that need ironing out) I think about how I will be a MARRIED woman in 3 months and one week. How crazy is that? Pretty crazy. Right now......Read More

breathe there's a reason for everything...except
How is it that one's life can go from bliss to chaos in 2.7 seconds? I am recognizing how much I take for granted in life as of late as suddenly I am much more at-risk for losing the things I assume are mine and safe. Like my job. I (without sounding too arrogant) am praised highly at my......Read More

spring springs near
Minnesota is darn sick of winter. Or at least this Minnesotan is. If I have to do one more day with negative temperatures and scraping my windshield in my dress pants and nice coat while cursing all things ice and snow-related, I may just pack up and move South. Oh wait, I hate humidity too. OK......Read More
