Ever since I wrote 5 Things for 5 Years, I told myself to write top things I’ve learned each year during my marriage, adding one for each year. This year has definitely had a lot of lessons for us. A new job, a big move 1,300 miles away, and living in a small apartment. FacingContinue reading “6 Things for 6 Years”

How do you find ways to fit in?
I recently took a new job and then a couple weeks later I decided it wasn’t for me. I felt I couldn’t do the job they wanted me to. I’m a well trained licensed Registered Dental Hygienist. The heck? It wasn’t personal at all. The job wasn’t for me anyways. But…I felt bad. I wasContinue reading “How do you find ways to fit in?”
How do I tell others how I hear?
Has anyone ever been to Wild Acres Brewery in Fort Worth? I love that it’s dog friendly. As soon as I walked in, someone was celebrating their dog’s birthday. All decked out with a birthday cap and bandana. Poor dog. Too bad none of you are here to enjoy with us. So….How do I tellContinue reading “How do I tell others how I hear?”
Highlights from New Orleans
My Monday night has turned boring. Definitely having Bachelor blues. I’m super happy for the new couple but more excited for the new Bachelorette! I can’t wait to hear my husband groan through it and laugh again. It’s quite enjoyable watching him suffer through a “chick flick”. Okay enough of that. Can we talk aboutContinue reading “Highlights from New Orleans”
Hearing Aid Insecurities: Overcoming it
We all have dealt with body image insecurities growing up. But there’s another part of me that has been shaped by something else. I got called weirdo, a deaf-mute, foreigner, etc. “What’s wrong with your voice?” I used to have rocks and wood chips thrown at me during recess. “Why don’t you use sign languageContinue reading “Hearing Aid Insecurities: Overcoming it”

“Is That Mean?”
“Is that mean?” I always say no. Strangers often tell stories of their relatives with hearing loss. This particular one stood out to me the other day. A sweet lady shared with me how her grandma lost her hearing to scarlet fever at 5 years old. She received cochlear implant at 70 and proceed toContinue reading ““Is That Mean?””
Highlights from Nashville, TN
“I’ve been living on the wrong side of Memphis / I’m really breaking away this time / A full tank of gas and a ‘69 Tempest / Taking me to that Nashville sign.” I’ve definitely been living on the wrong side of town. This is a city like no other I’ve been to. From theContinue reading “Highlights from Nashville, TN”
Bittersweet
After announcing our big move, I found it quite harder to even fathom it. To be honest, I never saw myself moving to Texas. I never saw myself giving up life here. Especially my home. “It’s just a house.” Have you ever wanted something so much, you never thought you could have it. You neverContinue reading “Bittersweet”
Highlights from Lake Placid, New York
This trip was such a fun short weekend celebrating New Years with my family. We decided not to do Christmas gifts this year, only to pick a location, rent an Airbnb and spend quality family time. It was a great idea. We picked out Lake Placid based on my brother’s recommendation since they went lastContinue reading “Highlights from Lake Placid, New York”
