Random Catharsis: What the Thieves Stole (7/5)

Although it’s been nearly a year since our house was broken into, this is the first time that I’ve really said what I’ve been thinking and feeling. For my sensitive readers, I want to warn and apologize for the colorful language I’ll be using in this post. I’ve had and will have better days–just not today. Background: […]

Random Catharsis: Readjustment (3/31)

Routine and purpose–I’ve really struggled with these two things for the past couple weeks, but I’m finally in a place where I feel comfortable acknowledging it (and of course, I want you to read it too). Routine. For those of you that don’t know, when servicemembers return home from deployments, they go through something called […]

Strip It Down Sunday: A Week of Renovation (3/6)

Again, it’s been another busy week. It’d actually just be easier for you to assume that I always have busy weeks, because for the most part, it’s usually true. The most time consuming part of the week was spent working on the dining room. My husband started the floor last Saturday morning with the ambition to […]

Marriage Monday: Opposites Attract (2/29)

While my husband and I are near perfect mirrors of each other, we are sometimes absolute dichotomies. Our similarities are nice, but this week, I’m focusing on our differences. Mind you, there will be some overlap, but bear with me. We were raised completely different. I was raised by a Jamaican family that had an […]

Strip It Down Sunday: Literally (2/28)

It’s been a roller coaster of a week! Sure, the pic is a bit dramatic, but real construction is happening in our house, people! But before I get to that– For some reason, my Thursday posts have been very…nonexistent for the past couple weeks. I’ve called myself out, so now I have no choice but […]

Strip It Down Sunday[s]: Late Love Post and My Diploma (2/14, 2/21)

Hey there! Yes, I know I missed last week’s post, but I had a valid reason for doing so–my husband came home from his deployment! He got in around 5 on Friday morning and as you can imagine, we were busy all of last weekend as well as into this week, no pun intended. And […]

Strip It Down Sunday: Homecoming (1/17)

I’m home! While I never really wanted to leave Germany, I am ridiculously happy to be home. The trip was absolutely amazing; I’m incredibly grateful that I got to share that experience with my husband. As for my posts about the trip, I think I’ve pretty much said all that I want to say. I […]

1516: Appreciation and Realization, Part I (Language)

Hello! Yes, it’s been an unforgivably long time since I last posted. I’m sorry–I was enjoying the last couple weeks of my vacation. In good news, I’m home safely and back at your service. I’ll do my best to catch up with the vacation posts over the next couple days, but as of Sunday, I’ll be […]
