Still Becoming…
I’ve been rather challenged by my year off dating, and maybe not because of the reason you think. I am very surprised at the number of strong opinions AND the depth at which people care about my personal life. Because people are people and they aren’t afraid to voice their opinion, I have had to…

This is in no way intended to be marriage therapy or a commentary on what went wrong in my marriage. I’ve compiled my bubble gum, most fun experiences from dating that I’ve loved, and some I don’t. I pray the good aspects continue when I get married (someday to someone). I must also give credit…
What’s so awesome about being alone?
*Originally written and posted exactly two years ago, this was only my second blog ever published. I can look back now and see how much has changed – for one I don’t eat KFC in my bed, that’s just wrong; two, my bedroom has received a major cleaning, and three God has eased the pain…
