When I eat gluten I become a hot emotional bit–y mess. Ask Andrew. He’ll agree and then sneakily say “are you sure it’s just the gluten?” Cheeky bugger! Anyways, I have thought A LOT about what foods do to me and what foods keep me on the straight and narrow in life. Foods that keep …
People…can I just tell you..that’s it’s cold in Australia. I’m not even kidding you…I woke up this morning and it was 39F/4C..and THAT’S COLD!!! In fact, yesterday I decided that I’d go running around 4:30pm..the sun was out..but it was a liar. It was freezing cold. I was rugged up with two layers and gloves …
There’s A LOT of backstory to how Andrew and I got engaged. When we went to American in September I drug him to my most favourite jewelers there and said to him that it would mean a lot to me if he could some how purchase and/or design a ring from them. He listened to …
I remember when I first watched Good Will Hunting I also remember how much my wallet cries when I buy almond butter at the shops. It’s about 10.00 a jar here in Australia. People, I spent 72.00 filling up my Ford Focus today. It’s expensive here (one of the only major downfalls of Australia). So … Continue reading »
…Bible Passages: 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who … Continue reading »
Andrew and I got back from the engagement party with a suitcase full of card, generous gifts and a book that I was dying to get into. I think that it’s easy, in any relationship, to get caught up in a self-ish angle. “Why isn’t he helping around the house?” “How many bloody times … Continue reading »
I was in the bath last night, you see I take my iPad with me in there to read…thank goodness I haven’t actually dropped it in yet, and I was reading through a post on FB that Miz put up about Heidi Klume paying her kids to drink healthy smoothies. I wouldn’t pay my kids … Continue reading »
We trekked to Wallaroo, South Australia for our engagement party. It was such an good experience for me. It’s a blending of cultures, it’s a blending of families. I’m finding my own feet in the new role that I play as the ‘future-daughter-in-law’. It was weird to hear that, oddly comforting, and yet foreign. Looked … Continue reading »
When I first moved over to Australia, I was your typical American. Type A, high-strung, nothing was fast enough, over-thought, over-sensitive, intelligent…American. I over-whelmed Australians. Australians work at a totally different, slower pace. When Americans first move here they almost always comment on how frustrated they are to be in Australia because EVERYTHING moves way … Continue reading »
I’m in WAY over my head with the Advance Life Support training handbook. People it’s 250 pages of WORST CASE SCENARIO if someone crashes…WHAT ARE YOU GONNA’ DO? Then it’s a whole bunch of multiple choice pre-training questions with ECG strips and one obvious answer that I can’t seem to find. Geeze people, I’m telling … Continue reading »
