A Few Random Things From My Mind

Why do we look down on the homeless man begging for money at the corner of the street, but smile and give to the man holding out a jar collecting money for his kid’s baseball team at the stop light? Is begging for money okay in society if you don’t look poor?

No scientific proof is needed to make us believe “Pregnancy Brain” is real. The proof is in my daily living and daily bizarre acts of strangeness. Somehow it’s contagious too. My husband has not only sympathy pains with the pregnancy but sympathy “Pregnancy Brain” as well. If it doesn’t end, our child may be doomed.


A Mac or a PC? Jury is still out.


One time I was “detained” in an Ethiopia jail for a day. That didn’t make me nervous. The Breast pump isle at Target- THAT makes me nervous!


Things I like about summer- Homemade Ice-cream, Thursday Night Concerts on the Lake, Farmer’s Markets, Swimming, and a little color to my skin. (Notice Heat and Humidity are not listed here)

I’d like to take this time to Thank Old Navy for making dresses that make me feel pregnant and not fat.

2 years later…I still think my husband is cute while he is sleeping.

Baggage of all kinds is heavy to carry. I say pack what you need, leave the rest behind.

After many years I still believe the GPS might be one of this century’s best inventions.

Hi Beth,
We are praying for a beautiful, healthy baby! Phil went to China with us to get our Molly Anne, and he has been "Uncle Phil" to our family since then :) I can't wait to meet you someday! We tried to come to your wedding, but we were snowed in. Give Phil our love.
Randy and Mary Strickland

Hi Mary! How are you? I hear your family has been on quite the adventure lately! Do you have a blog that we can follow? Thank you so much for those prayers! Hope you are doing well. Phil says hello!

Hi Beth,
We don't have a blog because we are in a creative access country, and security is an issue. I think I put you on our newsletter list. Let me know if you don't get our new one in the next few days. Our adventure is getting better and better as we adjust to life in a new land. Now if I could just learn Mandarin.... :)
