There and Back Again


We're home from our little Spring Break fling. We went to one of our favorite places--our "home away from home," our "fountain of youth" (now that's funny.) I have all sorts of insights into that that I'll save for another time, but it was funny/scary to turn on "our" old radio station and they're playing the same songs they were back so long ago!

We had a great time and the boys were totally surprised, so we accomplished our goal. Pictures and documentary will come later, but for now, I'm going to enjoy the rest of our Spring Break doing nothing!

He had no budget to purchase a sound system (not to mention...

So I challenge the rest of you to post your self-portraits. There's only one rule: The picture must be taken by you! Tip: Turn the flash off to avoid a glaring, well, glare! Hey, maybe we can even make it a contest and vote. I love voting!

The Question of Life

The panic rose within her. The pregnancy test she had taken a few days ago came up positive. This was NOT in her plans, and now, the boy she thought she would marry wasn't interested in helping her raise a child. He didn't want to be tied down. After all, they were only 17. Not quite finished with high school. Acceptance letter to college on the dresser. Now she was alone, and once her parents found out, they would be furious. They didn't like the guy, and had already threatened to kick her out over some poor choices she'd made previously. "Adult decisions result in adult consequences," was on repeat in her head. She had few options. She knew she would have no support from the father. She knew what she considered her own support group would be going their own ways after graduation, their entire lives ahead of them. Her parents. The thought of telling them drained everything out of her. The odds seemed pretty even—kicking her out or becoming depende...
