I’ve Moved!
I’m no longer here. I’m now over at my fancy new website: http://www.soullikeaspider.com. I’ve moved over to a domain name of my own, added a couple pages, and did a complete redesign on a new platform.

Seize the Fish
July 19, 2011
This weekend has not been so fun. Friday was my husband’s birthday, which was the good thing. The bad thing was that there was an opportunity so close for us that I could taste it. I figured that all that was (really) left in the decision process was just to stop and get the celebratory […]
To Capture a Whisper
July 15, 2011
“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways” and let me write for you for a lifetime and use all the ink I can find to try to tell you what I hardly have the mechanics to express. (Even when I’m trying!) A new dawn of love is rising over our little white […]

July 6, 2011
Fish bones. Tiny, translucent fish bones a third of the length of a toothpick refused to separate themselves from the grilled perch on my plate. After the second or third attempt to not swallow them, I abandoned the fish for the green beans and hoped that the bones wouldn’t perforate my intestines in my sleep. […]

The Dress That Found Me
June 23, 2011
I got my wedding dress at a boutique in downtown Rochester. It was a small shop, intimate and cozy, and the woman helping me immediately put me at ease.

June 3, 2011
I’m listening to Duke Ellington and walking through town. Orange light is spilling across the pavement and headlights are starting to come on. The smell of fried food coming from a Chinese restaurant from a nearby plaza seems more like an emotion than a scent. It reminds me of that one evening several years ago […]

Love and Simplicity: Why the World Could Have Ended
May 25, 2011
My husband and I woke up slowly, but earlier than usual on Saturday. When we were awake enough to talk, we laid in bed swapping dream stories and laughing. Our new crimson sheets felt wonderful against my skin as I glanced up at the ceiling trying to piece together what I still remembered from my […]

The Day Before My Wedding: Part II
April 30, 2011
Missed Part I? Read it here. You know those days where you put on the outfit you had planned to wear to an event and no matter how much you try to make it work, it just doesn’t feel right? You can’t get the one weird seam to lay flat, or the sleeves feel funny […]

About Me
I'm a newlywed from southeast Michigan. I read and write often, and am beginning to cook just as much. I love tattoos, homemade peanut butter, Community coffee, bluegrass, documentaries, Chuck Klosterman, and hair dye.
