It’s kind of a running joke at my church that at any given time, you are 8 months out from being married. I thought that was dumb. How could anyone decide that someone was the one, get engaged, plan a wedding in 2-3 months, and be 100% confident that they're making the right choice? I’d … Continue reading [how to be] single, engaged & married [in 9 months]

lots & lots of question marks
Pretend this is a cool, applicable-to-this-blog post, picture. It's actually just a candid Priscilla took at our favorite pub by our house. If I had a dollar for every time I was told, "Enjoy this time of your life because it flies by and you'll never have anything like it again." I'd be rich. Like, … Continue reading lots & lots of question marks
bad singing & empty butter tubs
For someone who isn't good at singing, I sing a lot. If you ask my mom, my singing is pretty good, but if you ask anyone else, well... they're not asking me to sing live anywhere. Priscilla and Haven, two of my roommates, can sing pretty well. Between the three of us, our house is … Continue reading bad singing & empty butter tubs
michael kelso & bus routes
It was 1AM and I was starving. Priscilla was too but she never ate after 9PM since she's a nutrition major and literally knows all the chemical processes to staying healthy. So, she advised we just drink water to fill up. As we sat in the living room sipping on water, I let her … Continue reading michael kelso & bus routes
dead fish & better days
In college, most freshmen girls go through the “I need a dog” phase. Needless to say, it hit Nealy and I pretty hard. She was my roommate at the time and we lived in Hart hall which was (and still is) a 12x14 box with two poorly insulated windows. It also included a window AC … Continue reading dead fish & better days
pine trees & dog food
Before I talk about growing up in Atlanta, I've got to clear up one thing. Although three of the four Scott kids were born in Atlanta, we were born on Texas soil. This is a detail my sister NEVER leaves out when people are shocked that we aren't "Texas born and raised." How, you may … Continue reading pine trees & dog food
the nun & the disguise
Ever since "just boys" became "cute boys," I remember being more awkward than a three legged dog. It was around 6th grade when this change occurred to me and I decided I would no longer wear crocs to school. I also only wanted to wear Aeropostale/Hollister/A&F shirts, carry my school stuff in a bag, not … Continue reading the nun & the disguise
shooting stars & the korean exchange students
My freshmen year at A&M, Priscilla and I would drive to church together since her car was still at her home in El Paso. She'd met some Korean exchange students that were in the Corps and struck up conversation after realizing they were South Koreans (she's half Korean). They all got lunch together and by … Continue reading shooting stars & the korean exchange students
the back perch – the whole story
When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. — Genesis 8:11 I sat at the kitchen counter at my home in little ol' Caldwell, TX and brainstormed with my mom. I wanted a name … Continue reading the back perch – the whole story
