So Here’s Us
…because most of the time, I write about my family. Two or three times a week, from schmaltzy to smart-ass, these are lessons we’re learning, and some laughs along the way. I hope you will be as encouraged and entertained as I am.
It’s so cliche and sweet that it may make you want to puke, but for real, I married my best friend and we grew up together (which happens when you marry your high school sweetheart at age 19). We have 3 little girls and have just adopted a toddler aged boy! Because we are working with the foster care system privacy is a real concern – so we rarely post pictures and never the names of our children online. I don’t really call them B, C, L and S, though perhaps it would be more efficient.
Life on the Raggedy Edge
…because life is messy and no one knows that better than us. Teenage marriage, full time ministry, moving far from home, stillbirth, high risk pregnancies, another stillbirth, Down Syndrome, navigating the adoption system… Some days it feels like we’re just holding it together with hope and a prayer. And we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be.
Extra points if you can figure out the source of my blog title!
Hint: I’m a huge sci-fi dork.

Let me guess – are you a Browncoat, too?

YES! I knew someone would get it. I just love that series.

Can I just say that your allusion to Firefly and Serenity makes me love this blog even more then I would without it?!

A kindred spirit! I could tell from your blog, but this cinches it!
Please be patient with my grammatical shortcomings. I know that must be hard for an English teacher.

I am not a grammar Nazi. No worries.
besides, anyone who can quote my favorite movie is flawless in my mind.
Kindred, indeed!

I was thinking Firefly before I scrolled down and saw the comments. Congrats on being Freshly Pressed. The Browncoat and the “Christ lover” parts got you a new follower. I don’t promise to keep up though. I follow way more blogs than I have time to keep up with. It’s a character flaw, I think.

I have a similar character flaw! Twitter just about kills me, because I try not to miss a post and I can never catch up… Glad to have another kindred spirit in the mix! Thanks!

Living on the edge… your posts are inspirational!

Thank you! We definitely hang on by the skin of our teeth somedays, but I’m learning to embrace that too.
