hello there, land of internet. i just wanted to check in and let you know that i haven't completely disappeared. work is very busy right now, and there's school, and church, and marriage, and attempts to spend time with people in the real world. sometime soon i would like to write about things like my first ohio state football game, our church family representing us in cambodia, thoughts on the nickel mine amish school and anabaptist stoicism, and whether or not we can go on vacation in a few weeks. for now, though, i am going to go upstairs and snuggle in our soft bed under our warm comforter and spoon my husband. sweet dreams!
