So remember how I was talking yesterday about needing to find a furnished place for the month of July within the next two days? Well, guess what happened just a couple hours after I posted that yesterday?! 🙂 The lady who owns this little cottage in the mountains saw this ad that I posted on Craigslist […]
One More Week!
We’re getting ready for our last week in Louisiana! Which is pretty freaking ridiculous to think about, haha. We’re trying to get things squared away and ready for the move, but we’re still taking things a day at a time. We got approved for an apartment, but it comes with a 14 month lease (14?!) […]
Good People of the World Unite!
I’m starting this blog because I feel like I’ve come to that point in life where I’ve realized I’m the grown-up. I’m the adult. I’m the one who’s supposed to be reading the news, keeping up to date on things. I’m the one who is supposed to be lobbying policies to Congress and serving my […]

Things I Will Miss About Louisiana – Part I

What’s next?!
I was journaling last night about needing to surrender to this move to NC. To “let go and let god” and trust that everything is going to work out perfectly. (My mind/anxiety has been jam-packed with house and job hunting…) Looking back through my journal, I had the same feelings about the move to LA. […]
Game of Thrones
This show has completely consumed all my free time over the past 8 days. We finished the first season in less than a week and then episodes of the second season magically appeared on Dustin’s computer. (Thank you, internet gods…) If this is what being a Lord of the Rings geek feels like, then I […]
Allen Update
I feel I have an amazing story to tell, but I don’t even know where to begin. I think Dustin put it best the other night when he said, “Baby, we’re fine. The fact that neither of us have had a panic attack or mental breakdown at this point is really quite miraculous. We’re up […]
Teaching Memoir
One of the classes I’m taking this semester is a creative writing class for teachers. Not only do we learn how to become better creative writing teachers, we learn how to be come better creative writers. We pick on piece that we work on and fine-tune throughout the entire semester. It’s actually the second class […]
