Mmm…sleep

I went through a bit of insomnia (by which I mean, sleeping 8-10 hours a week) during the last 2 months of my travels and didn’t fully recover until earlier this year. I didn’t think much about what was causing it, because I am SO naive when it comes to my body’s health.  I know when [...]

I Own Rights.

After MUCH pestering by Marissa to get this news onto my blog (she should really just maintain her own): Marissa and Dustin got engaged on saturday Marissa opened the door of her house to find a bunch of rose petals going all the way up the stairs to her bedroom.  Initially, she was upset that Dustin [...]

It’s Thursday ALREADY? Ok, not too sure where my week went…I guess time flies when you’re off saving the world (i.e. being completely submerged in my new book or cross-stitching while watching TV). Last weekend, my not-so-little brother came to visit.  He’s 2 years younger than me, but most people think he’s a couple years [...]
