Well, I’m officially 26 today! Which is good, since I’ve been (accidentally) telling people that for a while now. I just like to practice. Last weekend, we celebrated with my family and some totally awesome birthday cupcakes! This weekend, the celebrations continue. It’s about 5:45 am and I’m off to school. Wish me luck on …

mini-roadtrip
Today we traveled to Charleston to visit my favorite rheumatologist. Aside from that flare a few weeks ago, my joints have been great for the past six months, so this check-up was pretty uneventful. It’s a little inconvenient to drive down to MUSC every few months for appointments, but my doctor and his nurses are …
phone dump
So, I got a new cell phone right before school started. It does tricks that my old phone couldn’t even imagine. I realized yesterday that I’ve been sitting on a ton of photos. Here are the best and weirdest of the bunch.. <3, Liz
okay, I guess it’s time.
More than seven years ago, while on vacation in Myrtle Beach, I convinced myself (and my parents) that I desperately needed a pet turtle. They look so cute and tiny in those fish tanks in the junky beach stores, don’t they? Well, I picked one out, named it Mr. T. Turtle, and a new era …
flowers and christmas
Things have quieted down around here. No further raccoon sightings to report. And Lord knows, I’m looking for them now. These zinnias are from Floral and Hardy Farm. They make me smile early in the morning and that’s no easy task. ALSO, I’m getting super excited for the new She & Him Christmas album. It …
mystery solved.
Strange things have been happening in the backyard. Pots are overturned, holes dug, chair pillows moved around, bird baths full of dirt, tomatoes gone missing, gnomes knocked over. Forrest estimates that it all started mid-summer. But we have so many stray cats around that I really assumed we had some annoying tomcat spending his nights …
tellin’ stories
Last weekend, we traveled to Jonesborough, TN with the Clonts family! Forrest’s family has been visting Tennessee for the National Storytelling Festival for years. I’ve been lucky enough to make it there with them a few times. The Storytelling Festival is amazing. Jonesborough is just the perfect, quaint little town. They basically shut down traffic …
delay
Sorry for the brief hiatus from the blog, everything got insane right at once. We had an a-mazing time in Tennessee with the Clonts family over the weekend. It was a non-stop weekend of stories and coffee. I love the mountains in the fall- the leaves, the cooler temperatures, the crisp air. More on that …
pretty kitty
It’s been a rough day. My arthritis is seriously flaring and my right knee is so swollen that I haven’t been able to do anything (major bummer). I literally sat on our bed with an ice pack, my laptop, and a crochet hook all day. When I tried to get downstairs, I made it halfway …
congratulations, little bro!
We spent most of the day helping my brother, Marty, move into his new house! He and my uncle closed on a house (the “beginning of their empire”) a couple weeks ago. Marty officially moved out of our guest bedroom and into his new place today! It is super cute and we are so excited …
