I have to keep reminding myself: If you give your life to God, he doesn't promise you happiness and that everything will go well. But he does promise you peace. You can have peace and joy, even in bad circumstances.

And I started as a journalism major at Ohio State, ended up in theater and I love to read.

And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have.

It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden.

Some people are cool with the fact that their bodies bear witness to this great thing they produced, their children, and I understand that. But on a personal level, it makes me feel better that my breasts are not down to my knees when I'm undressed in front of my husband.

I'm not good at accepting help.

I just don't know a couple that's been married more than three years that doesn't annoy the heck out of each other every 15 minutes.
