29 January, 2015. It’s midnight, and the wind skates through the tangle of jasmine growing in a mad rush just outside our door. January brings the kind of heat that bakes my spleen to a lovely crisp, but come evening and those cooling gusts sweep in like so much relief. Still, I can’t sleep. I finally realized this past December that I am now living in the appropriate hemisphere, which makes my birthday the longest day of the year instead of the skinniest. Three cheers for extra sunlight! Sidenote part t...

3 July, 2016. Our dorm. Just look at my boys.]. A few weeks back during dorm meeting, one of the guys posed this scenario: What if terrorists threaten to kill your family if you admit you’re Christians.

A couple months after we got here, this scenario unfolded at a nearby mall to the tune of 67 deaths; some of our RVA students were there.]. And you know, sometimes He does.

12 July, 2015. 12 July, 2015. So it turns out I’m the sort of person who needs. To write: mental and emotional space, plus the square-footage kind. Between my fellow Owenses, my dorm family, and my students, I am rich in a good many things, but space isn’t one of them. But we shall soldier on in the name of I-am-missing-you-all.

5 April, 2015. 5 April, 2015. Last week the lock down sirens went off during lunch. Todd and I were having this lively and hilarious conversation with some of our dorm boys (see above) in the living room, and we eyed each other when that unmistakable keening began we’ve had unannounced drills before, but that meant. Unannounced to the students. The staff have always been told. Is this for real? Our guys kept asking. Are we for real on lock down? And hunkered down on the chipping laminate to wait. At its ...

First of all, THANK YOU for even thinking about sending something our way. you’re blessing our socks clean off. These guys are usually a-okay the whole way around. if it’s a normal, flat envelope, it shouldn’t cost much to send and will likely reach us in 2-3 weeks.

Reese’s cups or pieces. Todd and nicole owens.
