How often do you ask for someone’s opinion before you make a purchase? How often do you tell someone your opinion on a product if you love it? Businesses LOVE when you share your story on why you love their product. WHY? Because it’s free advertising! Corporations spend hundreds, thousands, millions (Super Bowl Ads anyone?) […]
Ever wonder what a park full of bears look like? Well, wonder no more! During my 37th week of pregnancy, I decided to brave the heat, get over my fear of not knowing anyone and join in on a PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel) event. Our excursion was checking out Bear Tree Park. The […]
Once I became pregnant I had a vision of what the birth would look like. This vision involved no drugs of any kind, a tub to relax in, a midwife and supportive husband to coach me through the birth, immediate skin to skin, and so much more. And then I found out my little one was […]
It’s been 3 weeks since arriving in South Korea and life is good. We have an apartment with a yard, a car, and our household goods have arrived! Since it is hard to talk to everyone and remember all the stories and adventures we have been experiencing, my goal is to keep this blog updated. I […]

I know it has been a while since my last post but I have been on vacation in a far away place that didn’t have WiFi…South Carolina. Ha! I have not been back to visit since we moved out to Washington so it was so much fun to go back and visit with everyone. I […]
As I enter more of the “grown-up” world where a lot of my friends and people I meet are getting married or already there, I hear a lot of bitterness towards the word submit in reference to a marriage. A few years ago, before I became a Christian, I would have never ever ever ever […]
