We do wear crowns all the time. These are the crowns of our divine virtues and Gifts of abundance from God, our Father, the Sabaoth. The more we are grateful and productive, the more diligently we follow our life mission, the more merrily our crown shines with our adamantine jewels, filled incess...

  This weekend was the worst weekend of my life...and that's saying something. I'm mostly writing this down to get it out of my head. My Mom and Step Dad live on the Pamlico Sound in North Carolina on a tiny island called Goose Creek Island in a tiny town called Lowland.     Unfort...

  Wow, I can't believe the last entry I wrote was in so long ago. I've been really busy. I don't have much time tonight (I'm really tired) but here's the highlights: 1. Started full time as a designer at an awesome printing company 2. Moved into a great 2 bedroom apartment 3. Began...

  This is probably the latest I've ever wrote a "new year" entry. Ah well! I'm really not sure where 2010 went, to be totally honest. It started with my last semester of college plus a huge surgery and ended with another surgery and a new job. Quite the whirlwind of events. In...

  Well, more knee surgery is on the books for October 6. I've been through PT again and it hasn't helped at all. My knee is still buckling and going out, plus I had a full on dislocation a few weeks ago and again last night that completely shot any chances of getting my quad…

  Just a quick update... I've been getting settled in Roc and not making any friends. Between work, setting up the apartment, and having no money I'm pretty much at a loss here. Other than that things are going great. Work is something that I'm enjoying 95% of the time. He seems to be l...

  Well, it's here. I didn't know it'd happen this soon but here we are. I'm graduating in 7 days. I'm moving in 4 days. I start work in 8 days in my first "real-life after college" job. Shit. I don't really know what to do with myself right now. I have a two finals o...

Well, it's official. The Boy and I have secured our first apartment. My first out-of-college apartment. I'm moving in on May 20th and he's moving in on August 1st after AmeriCorps. Here are photos that we took Monday of the apartment and the area we'll be living. A one bedroom apartment that...

  Well, it's official. I'm moving to Western New York. I'm one of the few people in the undergraduate class of 2010 that is walking across the stage at graduation with a job waiting on the other side. Honestly, I'm shocked, proud, and a bit scared! I also know and appreciate just h...

Man, I wish I had gotten a picture of that room. But, I'll get to that. So, I went to Utah last week to visit The Boy and his Americorps team. I had an phenomenal time! On Thursday, I had to get up at the ass crack of dawn to fly out of La Guardia. Had a…
