F i n a l l y
Something amazing is happening this weekend. (No, not me blogging twice in one week even though that is fairly spectacular.) I’m moving. After four and a half years of living like a gypsy, splitting my time between Dublin, London, Copenhagen (I kept that one close to the chest), and my mother’s in Texas, I finally […]

Confession
Confession: I miss blogging. Bigger Confession: It’s difficult to blog when life hasn’t been going swimmingly and you’re not sure what to say, and what you actually should say, or more importantly, what you should not say. I will say this though. I love my husband. He loves me. But unfortunately life isn’t always that […]

Well Your Faith Was Strong But You Needed Proof
On the last mail day of 2017 (or post day if you’re so inclined), this finally happened. It only took 1501 days. And it only took me 59 days to tell you about it (but in fairness, I did tell Facebook). Here’s another fun number… It’s been 473 days since I’ve popped in here, hopefully […]

Summer Vacation Saves All
You know, the one thing I’ve learned from this whole, horrendous, drawn out visa process, is that focusing on the positive is imperative. I’ve always been a glass-half full kind of gal anyway, but now, I’m a glass three quarters full, because let’s face it if I wasn’t, I’d probably be locked away in the […]

The Unexpected
{this will be me, a lot} I’ve been thinking about writing this post for awhile, like, a long while, but I was waiting for things to settle down a bit and for us to have an actual plan in place, and now we do. So here’s the deal; Gregory didn’t get his green card, as […]

encore
Here I am again, alone after saying goodbye to Gregory. (Well not technically alone… I do live at my mother’s house after all, and of course there’s Fifty too). But unlike the last few goodbyes, this time we can truly say that the end is near. (Please, please, please, oh pretty please!) So this is […]

ALL the good juju
It happened guys, it finally happen… WE HAVE A DATE FOR GREGORY’S GREEN CARD INTERVIEW! Cue singing: Hallelujah Hallelujah Ha-ll-e-lu-jah. I have been dreaming of this moment for so long and in my head it went like this: I would reach my hand into the mailbox and pull out a letter from the NVC, I’d open the […]

Did you know?
Did you know that I started a new job? I did, and I love it; love it, love it, love it. But did you know that sometimes when you start a new job that you love, it can kind of consume you. It’s true, not in a bad way, but in a good way, and […]

boom
Something strange happened last week, a house behind mine blew up. IT BLEW UP, like BOOM. It was late Tuesday morning and I was busying myself with work and getting ready for Gregory’s arrival the next day. I walked into the laundry room and turned on the washing machine, and as I stood there measuring […]

le deuxième
// Did you know crayons can burn like a candle for twenty minutes? Yeah, me either. But apparently they do and in case of some blackout emergency, you can use crayons to replace candles in a pinch. My mother informed me of this the other day and after she told me, I said, “but we […]
