JulieLeung.com: a life told in tidepools

inspired by this picture of Adrian’s I saw this moment and took out my camera while on my one hour date with Ted Saturday afternoon.
What to do while your children are at a birthday party in Poulsbo? Grab an almond moo at a creative coffee house, sit on the sofa together and [...]

Amanda Witt shared how her husband loved and accepted her as she was despite her difficulties with driving.

I don’t mean that I miss an exit now and then. I mean that I have zero sense of direction and worse than zero–I’m somehow fundamentally miswired. When I had lived in Lubbock for almost ten years, I [...]

Michael Hanscom earlier this week linked to Tony Pierce’s How to Blog, critiquing it point by point. It’s an interesting read, both Michael’s and Tony’s ideas. In point #22, Tony advised:

Yesterday Ted described his response after listening to my session on Emotional Life at Bloggercon III (recently posted on IT Conversations). It’s always interesting and refreshing for me to see the world through my husband’s eyes, or in this case, hear it through his ears. I wish he could have been there, but I’m glad [...]

Somewhere in the big book of rules, I think it says that a man may not blog on his wedding day.
So wrote Grant today before heading to the altar to marry Pamela (picture of chapel included in the post!) - congratulations! Even though he broke the rule, I certainly hope he doesn’t keep breaking [...]
