When my family first arrived in Austin, Texas, by way of camper adventure, our newfound friends would often ask us, “Where did you move from?” “We moved from Kauai in Hawaii,” I’d tell them. Then, the next question would inevitably come: “Wait, what? Why the hell would you move from Hawaii to Texas?” It boggled anyone’s mind that […]

I’m now approximately 10 weeks pregnant (yay!), and I’ve been dealing with symptoms of morning sickness for a little over four weeks now (blerg).
