About Me: I <3 Popcorn

Any given night, Casa de Nunes reeks of buttery goodness.

People on my mission team know this fact about me. I eat popcorn.

I eat it a lot.

Every night a lot.

In fact, I bet I’ve eaten more popcorn than anybody who is reading this right now, or ever. This addiction to the exploding kernel goodness started when I lived in Santa Barbara (23 years ago), which just so happens to be the same exact age my oldest daughter is right now.

I was told a story from a close friend of mine a while ago. One day after church they were pulled aside was told they were not being “good Christian’s,” that they were being a hypocrite because of where and who they choose to be with, or not be with, and the gossip they tried to spread.

The result? Continue Reading…

30′ish friends.
For Kim’s 30th birthday.

The plan went slightly as planned, with a little bit of changes here and there, but overall I have to say that the amount of people who showed up last-minute (2 days notice) was completely awesome. I also have to give a HUGE thank you to the Washington’s who opened up their home to hide everybody while we headed home. Also to Joanna for coming up with the idea to sign the vase when my nifty little project took a dump at 2am.

So, I posted a very odd-looking inflatable, double-rainbow like picture yesterday you’re probably wondering what they were. In case you forgot, I showed you this picture:

What is this?

I mean, I did ask you to guess after all… Continue Reading…
