The Kindness of a Stranger

The Kindness of a Stranger

The week of Christmas, I was informed I would be getting a short “winter break.” I worked December 28th, but would not have to return to work until January 4th. Had I known sooner, I would have hoped on a plane and spent the week in Japan, but that wasn’t really an option for me …

I’m Tan In Korea!

Yep, it’s true, I’m tan in Korea! I remember one time while working at CPS, one of my coworkers was teaching her daughter how to say the colors in Spanish. I don’t know why, but we challenged her to tell us the color of our skin. My coworker who’s actually Hispanic, but gets mistaken for …

Is It Sinful To Be Unhappy And Single?

A couple days ago I was listening to a sermon my friend Jackie sent me. When I visited her and my sister in Kentucky, I went to church with her and the pastor had just started a message about the Christian Family. That particular day, he was speaking to the husbands in the room, but …

The Foreigner “Nod And Smile”

This morning I woke up with one thing on my mind, explore, explore, explore. I’m not sure if it has been all the “love bugs” I’ve been getting from the kids at school, or if my body was just in total shock going from 80 degrees in Dallas to 8 degrees in Korea, but I …

Koreans Don’t Speak Spanish!

For a little over a month, I’ve been trying to teach myself how to speak Spanish. I’ve been telling myself I was going to do it for a while, so I finally stopped procrastinating and started learning. I am no where close to being proficient, but learning none the less. Living in Texas, any time someone doesn’t …

A Beautiful Love Story…

Growing up in a military family, you can spot a soldier from a mile away. They have a certain “swag.” Each branch even has their own swag. You can tell Army from Air Force, Navy from Marines, and if for some crazy reason, they don’t have the military swag, you can pick them out based …

You’ll Be A Better Wife Because Of It

Hello my name is Brandy, and I am a control freak. I want things done the right way, and by the right way I mean my way. I’m a tad bit OCD. My shirts get hung on white hangers, my pants on blue hangers, and if you try to help me and mess it up …
