  • blogmas day 4 – on the road to starkville.

    Yesterday Sara and I hit the road and headed to Starkville to return some textbooks for the end of semester and get everything all wrapped up for Christmas break. Between my school and Bug’s work schedules, we haven’t been on an adventure in awhile and we had so much fun. I always love to go… Read more

  • remembering metastatic breast cancer awareness day and our lindsey.

    Most people know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month but many may not be familiar with Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, which falls on the 13th. (As it happened, I was still fighting my way out of the midterm zoo and dealing with an unpleasant flare situation on that day – so we are… Read more

  • memento mori

    It’s not surprising, as my next big project is my death book, that I am one acquainted with the night – and thus spend more time thinking on these things than your average bear. This is particularly true now that I have promised myself to have this book ready to go by the end of… Read more

  • on the road again, loving our lindsey, and (finally) hugging my bestie once more.

    On Saturday, Sara and I hit the road and headed to Paris, Tennessee, our sweet Lindsey’s hometown, for her Celebration of Life at the Convention Center there. I had never been to Paris before – and the Celebration was so perfectly Lindsey. There were pictures everywhere (she was a total picture person like me), wonderfully… Read more
