Hey hey hey it's fat Monday. I don't know. The weather is wacky here and I think I'm allergic to spring time. I'm not complaining, but my brain feels fuzzy. Name that movie (answer below). UNO This weekend was pretty exciting. Rachel and I celebrated Gaby's graduation. Gaby is, hands down, one of my very favorite people. She's a masters student studying computer...Read More

I have a tattoo. It's a cross with an "M" for Mary behind my left ear. Standby as I try to take a decent photo of the side of my head (it's ridiculous). Update: I gave up trying to take a picture of the back of my head so here is a screenshot of my friend Katherine's instagram. Technology. Recently I've been thinking...Read More

SO I'm going to write (type) down some dreams! I encourage this. It's not being irresponsible or making up unachievable goals, it's about what makes...Read More

I knew it had gotten bad when Hannah's husband texted me about my hiatus. Whoops. And now I'm all baby come back, you can blame it all on me. Like those Swiffer commercials. Remember those? Anyway, I apologize for failing at blogging again. Things get crazy at the end of the year here at CMU and working my way over to the Oratory...Read More

Hey, everyone. I don't know if you missed me, but I certainly missed you. Last week was crazy. I started my first Bible Study on CMU's campus and it was a Spanish Bible study so...I was nervous. I have a BA in Spanish so in theory I'm well versed in the language, but it was very nerve wracking and I was convinced I...Read More
