title pic My 20s. All of them.

Posted by beth on March 6, 2010

And just like that, my 20s are over. Man, what an awesome decade. I’m going to try to do a recap of all my 20s birthdays and hit the highlights of some of the incredible things I’ve had the opportunity to do in the last ten years. I’m old, though, so I might not remember [...]

Posted by beth on February 17, 2010

You know, Lent means a lot of things to a lot of people, but today, for me, it means that my roommate and her boyfriend gave up sweets before finishing off a bag of Double Stuf Oreos, leaving the rest for me!!
Also, I’m beginning to think that giving up Facebook is too easy, and that [...]

Posted by beth on February 15, 2010

So…my birthday is in less than three weeks. And it’s not just any birthday. It’s my THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY, and I don’t have any plans. That is either the biggest relief or the most depressing thought ever. On the up-side, I don’t have to bake a million cupcakes or clean my room or take a shower [...]

Posted by beth on January 2, 2010

When I left Raleigh on Tuesday, I was 95% sure I was going to move to Wilmington, and that my trip to Asheville would just be a fun time to see John and Anne and Community (aka Jen), meet some cool girls (Lisa and Kendra) and hang out in the mountains for a few days. [...]

Posted by beth on December 16, 2009

Well I know you’re all DYING to know what I thought of Portland and whether or not I’m going to move. I’m sorry I didn’t take any pictures to post. There are a couple of mobile uploads on facebook you can look at if you’re just that curious, but they’re not exactly pictures OF Portland [...]

Posted by beth on December 9, 2009

It’s rare that you actually get an opportunity handed to you so simply in life to take a look at who you are and how you’ve changed. Under normal circumstances, you have to make a lot more of an effort to take time out and think about such things, and most of the time, it [...]

Posted by beth on December 8, 2009

As I’ve told you before, I’ve been failing miserably in my attempt to gain fifteen pounds in Italy. In fact, I believe I’m actually down seven or eight now, which works for skinny jeans, so I guess I’ll get over it. Some of you have asked, however, how I have accomplished this. Well, I’ll tell [...]

Posted by beth on December 4, 2009

It’s funny how sometimes something (or someone) so great can be right under your nose, and you can just not ever notice it (them). I realized today whilst chatting with WhitneyJosh that I’ve had a soulmate here with me the whole time I’ve been in Italy, and I never noticed. Now, as you may know, [...]

Posted by beth on December 3, 2009

Man, it’s like time is moving at warp speed. Before I know it, every day, it’s midnight or midnight:30, and here I am still up, trying to upload some pictures for y’all and then deciding I’ll just do it tomorrow because dang. It’s now midnight:34, and the internet’s being all slow, and I really need [...]
