That’s Not Something You…

In my last post, I talked about trying to make a decision about whether or not to pursue finishing my breast reconstruction and having the surgeon build me a nipple. After Thanksgiving, I didn’t have much time to think about this endeavor, either. First, there was the Christmas program at church that Ken and I […]

In my last three blog posts, I have been discussing all the hemming and hawing I did over the month of November about whether or not I should finish my breast reconstruction by getting my nipple. By Thanksgiving, while others around me prayed for thankfulness for 25-pound turkeys, houses to live in, and other various […]

The same day that I posted my last nipple conversation on Facebook, I got a very strange picture in my inbox. It was a picture of a friend’s nipple. I realize that’s not something you see every day. Not in my circle of friends anyways. So, now I had six differing opinions as to what […]

In my last post, I talked about the conversation I had with my plastic surgeon back in the beginning of November.

I was texting with a friend the other day and she decided to vent to me about her young son: “I’m so sick of his talk of snot and guts and farts and butts, etc. Today on a show they were talking about a booby trap and he just kept saying booby over and over […]

Jonathan house-sat for us while we were out partying with our new friends in Omak. On our way home, I thought I would check in with him. “Be sure the animals are taken care of. Make sure my kitties don’t get killed,” I texted. He replied, “Yes ma’am.” “Good boy.” “What time are you guys […]

I’ve talked about Jesse before. She’s a friend of Adriana’s. They met in Wollongong, Australia when they were both doing mission work there. I finally got to meet Jesse in person (instead of over Skype) when she came to stay with us. One day, Adriana was backing out of the driveway when I heard incoherent […]
