That’s the Story of My Life

Noah
January 30th, 2018, was historic for this branch of the Middleton Family. For Anachemy, after nearly a year of pregnancy, 36 hours of active labor, midwives, doctors, drinking a full bottle of castor oil to make the baby come (never try this, btw), pain, exhaustion, and…

Transitions
Transition has been a key theme for us since getting married back in May. Transitioning into marriage. Transitioning into living together. Transitioning out of our jobs in Haiti. And now transitioning back to life in America. After three years living in Haiti, some may wonder,…

Getting Married Soon!
I’ve been intending to write a stupendous blog post about how I met Anachemy, what all she means to me, and how much I’m in love with her. I didn’t want to write just “any old thing” though. It needed to be special. So special,…

Narrating Pertinent Happenings
The last several weeks have been nonstop. So busy I’m dizzy. Therefore I requested today (Monday) off – and it was granted. Last night I slept 14 hours! Holy smokes. Then late this morning I was happily munching cereal whilst watching others work. After getting…

A Detailed Summary of my Saturday
Breakfast at 7am. Two pieces of french toast with a side of mango fruit, washed down with juice. Meet Barry to go jogging. We plan to drive to a big hill and run up it. But the car won’t start (our not so trusty 4runner). …

Running
Running in the Dallas Airport I didn’t think I could make it another step, the mountain of luggage slung around my shoulders weighing me down like a boat anchor. People were looking at me weird, their eyebrows raised, just as I usually do to others…
