I'm studying mental illness right now. I learned this crazy fact. The majority of persons diagnosed with schizophrenia are winter-born babies.Isn't that insane?Correlation is not causation. However, those who are already predisposed to develop this illness are more likely to get it if they are winter-born due to speculations about pregnant women not being able to get as many vitamins and nutrients from...
After our lab, we went over to the Hayes to finish painting the living room. Shannon told us we needed to go shopping in her fridge and cabinets, because after today, the food was being tossed. Its really hard for me to refuse free food, so Jordan and I filled about 10 walmart bags up with different food items. Now we have a...
Today was the first day of CNA lab, where we learned all of our nurse aide skills on several plastic mannequins named Mr. Jones and some other lady whose name I can't remember. What was disturbing is that Mr. Jones had a female body. More disturbing was when I was changing Mr. Jones elastic stocking, somehow his head was violently separated from his...
Wanna hear a stupid story?My STUPID wisdom teeth have decided that they would like to come in right now (as opposed to earlier in the summer when I didn't have summer class and CNA and could have easily scheduled an appointment to get knocked out, had some teeth taken out, and then had Chris care for my pitiful, pain-medicated self while I healed...
DISCLAIMER: I love sleeping next to my husband. Really, I do. In fact, I would probs say it's one of my favorite things about being married to him. It's often the time in which we have really strange late night conversations that really don't make any sense and/or use his bookmark flashlight to make shadows on the wall (hello, first grade.)On with my...

A theme very very present at our wedding. And obviously so, as it is the theme of marriage in the Word and the profound mystery that Paul likes to discuss. What's one awesome thing about this equation? Often times, (and by often I mean every time) Chris and I feel the same "calling," even if it doesn't occur at the exact same time....
This past weekend was the first I'd ever seen chris with a newborn. I knew he was good with kids, but man. Every other time I turned around she was sleeping on his chest. Thus, meeting our first little niece has made me realize a few things:1. Chris is going to be a great dad. (Don't worry, I actually knew this before the...
"When I was in my early thirties, I spent several months working with an outreach team treating the homeless mentally ill in NYC. Our team consisted of two nurses, and a psychiatrist, a kindly M.D. from Haiti whom everyone called Dr. Paul. I was the driver and recruiter.Each night, we would arrive at a different homeless shelter and set up a portable clinic....

Rob Bell's "Love Wins" has been on my heart lately. Ever since I began reading it, I just have had an unsettling issue with it. My friends and I discussed, however, that one of the main problems is that it seems to (unintentionally) create a sense of lukewarm, Christian passivity that really discourages us from seeking our purpose during this life time. I...

I love how easy life has been with you thus far.I love how kind you are, and how you don't force me to jump out of bed right when the alarm goes off like you do. (How in the world do you do that!?)I love how you make me coffee when I need it the most.It cracks me up how you dance all...
