I am in Bethesda, Texas and Germany

My baby girl is three today. I've been trying not to think about it. It tears at me. My body is stuck in DC. My mind keeps revisiting a beautiful Texas morning. And my heart is in a tiny German village, far across the ocean, with the sweetest little girl.

I am a Med-Evacuee

I just took a ride I never hoped to take. I am proud of the wounded warriors I flew with, I am blessed to be back in this great country, but now, more than ever, I am far from home.

I am Arrhythmic

This is what a right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia looks like from the inside.

I am a wide-complex kind of girl.

I am Starting an Infant

With child. In a state. Got a bun in the oven. Expecting. In a delicate condition. Cooking a goose. Enceinte. Knocked up. Eating for two. Federlined. Up the duff. Embarazada. In the family way. Suing Trojan. Enwombed. Mixing company. On the stork watch. Pregcellent.

I'm in the Mood for Love

My two favorite ♥Valentines♥:

This one.

And this one.

A Very Valentine

by Gertrude Stein

Very fine is my valentine.

Very fine and very mine.

Very mine is my valentine,

Very mine and very fine.

Very fine is my valentine and mine,

Very fine, very mine and mine is my valentine.

I am Halved

You are far away on our day-

so I say...

Forever could never be long enough for me-

To feel like I've had long enough for you.

Marry me, today and every day.

I'll wear white and you'll wear out the words "I love you"

And "you're beautiful:"

Together can never be close enough for me-

To feel like I am close enough to you.

Say you will. Mmmm hmmm.

Say you will.

-Marry Me, Train

You can say so much with a pretty picture

and a pretty song.
