Ah, adulthood. Aren’t our 20s just chock-full of coming-of-age experiences? After all, that’s what this blog is about. Well, this December I reached another milestone of adulthood: I hosted Christmas for the first time. My in-laws were making their first (and hopefully not last) big […]
A few months ago my friend went crazy. Now when I say crazy I don’t mean like fun- excited- let’s party- crazy, I mean like mental- hospital crazy. Yeah. Scary. She had been depressed for a few months, maybe closer to a year, so she […]
When something seems too good to be true, it usually is, right? I’ve posted in the past about how things happen to be going very well in my life right now. Great husband, great job, done with my education, getting to see the world, not […]

This morning was the second time I have sat crying on the bus in the last week. I realize that makes me sound depressing and and unstable, but let me explain the circumstances. As those of you who have been following the blog might know, […]
Patience has never been one of my strong suits. I know that it’s a virtue and all that, but knowing doesn’t make having patience any easier. This is a struggle I’ve dealt with pretty much my whole life, but it’s been coming to the surface […]
