I’m 33,
Married to Jonathan since 2000,
with fraternal twin boys Benjamin and Jonah
born at 34 weeks in January of 2006.
They both had GERD for a year.
We survived.
Could you survive?
Take my short yet surprisingly accurate quiz to find out now!
I’m currently living in Miami, Florida
(by way of Texas, Virginia, North Carolina,
Germany, and Argentina).
My previous jobs (in chronological order) include:
babysitter,
frame shop assistant,
veterinarian intern,
White House intern,
administrative assistant,
writer/editor of software training guides (technical writer),
software product manager,
software acquisitions manager,
church bookkeeper,
and summer camp director.
The bookkeeper one is ironic since I failed accounting the first time I took it in college.
The words “debit” and “credit” still send shivers down my spine.
I didn’t mention this in my interview.
Currently I’m a full-time Wife and Mom.
(and writer/photographer/illustrator)
In sixth grade a girl picked me up and threw me on the ground
when we got into an argument over a soccer ball.
She was at least three times my size,
probably descended from Amazonians.
Until recently I’ve always had at least one bird
(doves, parakeets, lovebirds, finches).
My dove, Wooda, lived with me for nearly 19 years until she died in 2006.
I smuggled her on the plane to come to my wedding.
If I could change places with anyone, living or dead, for one day,
it would be Jesus Christ
....because my perspective on a great many things would change
significantly and for the better.
At this exact moment I am in Uruguay
drinking Turkish coffee
made by Jonathan’s uncle Jorge.
It is delicious.
I use Squarespace software to manage SeaBird Chronicles.
I highly recommend it.
