Oh, awkwardness. It just follows me around like a shadow. I should just start introducing people to it, like it’s my best friend, since it’s with me wherever I go. Unavoidable. This past week I had to take my son to the emergency room because we were afraid he had meningitis. The doctors checked him out and he’s just super sick, but will heal. Before we left a man came in to get our insurance information. I took one look at him and blurted out, “You look so familiar.” Not that awkward a phrase, but you should have heard the crickets chirping in uncomfortable silence and the strange look that he gave me before he continued his request for our medical card. Blerg. When am I gonna learn to keep my big mouth shut? The worst part is I SWEAR I know him, but just can’t figure out how. Double blerg.

We had “Crazy Hair Day” at our Vacation Bible School today and we went all out.

I can’t even begin to tell you how proud this picture makes me of my son. Happy to raise a little person who is silly and spirited, all while learning about Christ’s love.

Romantic Awkwardness

I am not usually a fan of reality tv, but I can’t help myself when it comes to The Bachelorette. It’s simultaneously awkward and amazing. It has also helped confirm that I really don’t like when people sing or read poetry as a romantic gesture. I feel so awkward watching the person pour their heart out in spoken word. Maybe it’s a good thing my husband is pragmatic in his love toward me, so I don’t have to pretend to love it while I’m squirming inside and wanting to run away. Speaking of The Bachelorette and despite my dislike of poetry, I am Team Chris all the way.
