The First Man in My Life
I am my father’s daughter, and it’s one of my most honored distinctions. It is utterly insane to me that I only knew him for two-thirds of my life. He passed away extremely unexpectedly in July, 2001 when I was nineteen and my brother was fifteen. He had been on a two week trip to […]
Entering the Deep Beyond
I’ve always been interested in space. This can probably be traced to my early childhood, which was nestled comfortably within the Shuttle Era. Space culture made up a major part of what I saw (and kind of understood) on the news when I was quite young. Seriously, people were being blasted off the Earth and […]

Telling the Folks
So last night we decided to make it “official” that we are expecting (as if the real baby growing in my belly isn’t official enough) by telling our parents about our little friend. We put it off a little longer – a couple months – than I think others may think standard to notify close family […]
