This Christian, atheist and ex-military guy walk into a…

Posted on May 7, 2012 by elsakokcolopy

We’re like the start of a bad joke: An atheist, a Jesus-lover, an artist, a teacher and an ex-military guy walk into a bar… Only it’s no bar. We met at the dog park and (most) every Monday night we … Continue reading →

Even if you have to switch it up – live your dream!

Posted on April 25, 2012 by elsakokcolopy

Stupid evil scale

Posted on March 6, 2012 by elsakokcolopy

Time to put on my big-girl boots

Posted on December 11, 2011 by elsakokcolopy

But what will you think of me?

Posted on November 15, 2011 by elsakokcolopy

Not a Stalker, Just a Fan

Posted on October 24, 2011 by elsakokcolopy

Held me a Raccoon

Posted on October 20, 2011 by elsakokcolopy

I got to hold a baby human yesterday. Ten little fingers, ten little toes. I was the first grown-up (other than Mom, Dad and nurses) to hold him. He was only 2.5 hours old. And he didn’t even cry. His … Continue reading →
