Our family in Scotland
Miss Mommy
We are from a magical place in the south where children call their Mommy’s friends, Miss (insert name). It shows familiarity and respect simultaneously, and let’s be honest- it’s simply precious. My sweet daughter decided to apply the same loving attention to me, calling me “Miss Mommy.” Maybe my favorite nickname ever.
Our Adventures
If for some reason, you’d like to know more about me, then you need to know about my family. I met my handsome theologian-at-large in college at Texas A&M. He grew up to be an electrical engineer and I a high school Spanish teacher. During that time, Josh realized his passion for ministry/teaching, which led him to give up engineering (which was a great move since the economy crashed post-9/11). So, while we were still DINKs, he attended Dallas Theological Seminary and was a part-time college pastor for 3 years. A month before we had Rebekah (12 July 2006), we left our southern roots behind and moved to Iowa City, where Josh was a young adults pastor. Then, 2 years later, a few months after having our son, Luke (17 April 2008), we moved back to Texas to pack up and head across the pond to Aberdeen, Scotland for Josh to complete a second master’s degree and a PhD in Systematic Theology at the University of Aberdeen.
Texas…Iowa…Scotland. Thus began the Adventures of Miss Mommy.
You’re doing a great job with your new blog – I’m quite impressed. Lots of interesting and good info -
Hi Emily-
I am definitely a random reader–I found your blog thru a friend, thru a friend, etc. But, I wanted to tell you how much I love reading your posts! I am not usually a fan of WordPress, but I love the new feel of your blog since you changed! The things you write about are many of the same things that are in my head, but I don’t think anyone really cares what I think about travel tips, books, cool kid things, etc. But, it turns out that they do…I think! I hope you don’t mind that I’ve been reading along!

[...] Our family recently traveled to Paris for a few days. We live in the UK, and since we won’t forever, we figured we should travel now while we can get much cheaper air fare (we did the whole trip for less than we would have spent on one plane ticket from the States), so we are trying to plan one trip a term (I have never quit thinking in school terms because I have never been off a school year calendar. Even though I graduated form college in 2001, my husband started grad school that year and has now done 2 Master’s degrees and is working on a PhD. Plus, we have kids, so this 9-month calendar will be perpetuated for another few years, I suppose- what do you do?) [...]
