If you know me then you know my passion for animals. I am also extremely allergic to animals. Ohhhh the cruel irony. I have found one type of animal with fur that I’m not allergic to–sea lions! And dolphins? No reaction! I moved to the Florida Keys in late 2007 to intern at the Dolphin…
This evening I finished reading the book “Heaven is for Real” sent to me by my Aunt Po. This book has a lot of significance to my family. Three months before my cousin Timothy passed away, his mother read this book. Little did she know how important it would be for her three months down…
Yesterday my sister, Charlotte, sent me this devotional she had and I thought it was so great I wanted to share part of it! It is not necessary to be always speaking to God or always hearing from God, to have communion with Him; there is an inarticulate fellowship more sweet than words. The little…
Today I have been trying to think of the most embarrassing sleepwalking/talking adventure I have ever had. There was the time I was in second grade that my new friend Chloe had asked me to sleepover. Chloe was probably a little surprised when I got up in the middle of the night, walked straight to her…
For the past week my brain has been completely consumed with thoughts of my cousin Tim. I have been nonstop praying for everyone that knew Tim, and loved him dearly. As my mom said yesterday “sometimes prayer is all you’ve got.” So true. The past Easter weekend spent with family at Tim’s wake/funeral was one…
On April 19th, 2011, my beloved cousin Timothy passed away. It was extremely sudden and has left all of us feeling confused and heartbroken. My mom called to tell me the news yesterday evening. She started crying as she said “I have bad news.” Immediately I pictured Chester, my 13-year old Wheaten Terrier. I have…
What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life -to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories. ~George Eliot Tonight I am feeling overwhelmed. Normally overwhelmed has a bad connotation, but tonight, it is great. I am feeling overwhelmed and joyful because of the family I…
Lately I have had a lack of “sleep story” entries; my sleep talking has almost been non-existent! Maybe Ken was right, the more I write down the occurrences the less they happen. So here’s the scenario: Isaac was playing Angry Birds in bed and I sat up and said “WHAT are you doing?!” He replied…
This past weekend was the “Red Carpet Weekend” for the Wake Forest Masters of Business Program Candidates. Just from the title you are probably thinking the same thing Isaac and I were; lots of pretentious young adults with gazillions of dollars who want to take over daddy’s company someday. Needless to say I felt a…
I had an awesome day on Sunday photographing Nolan for his 1 year old pictures! I love getting to do photo shoots with friends so I can become comfortable with how to use my creativity out in nature and not be nervous! They turned out really cute, I’m pretty happy with them! I especially love…
