I'm a creative, intense, honest and adventurous person with a love for God and people.
DH (Dear Husband) and I have been married 15 years and have 4 girls: AJ, age 13; M&M, age 12; Ebee, who is 9; and Baby Nae, born in December 2013.
God has been faithful to sustain us despite my health challenges (which include fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (ME), migraines, a genetic connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and occasional extra fun twists like the year I had mono on top of it all. :)
Since removing excitotoxins from my diet as part of a clinical research study in 2009, my health has improved considerably.
Ebee has grown out of her food allergies and intolerances, and all four kids are happy, healthy and doing great. We're in a season of enjoying life very much right now.
Thanks for visiting!

Because the first people who made dictionaries of the English language got their spellings from all over the British Isles. And this at a time when people often spelled creatively. Thus, we get the several sounds that "ough" make and rules that have tons of exceptions like "i before e except after c or when sounding like a" but even that rule leaves out "science".
Because English sucks.
That's my answer. Is it right? ;)
Very different etymologies - the influence of dialects and the Great Vowel Shift that occurred in the UK. The spelling reforms did make sense at one time (at least to the reforming scholars who were french). Because the changes took some time, settlers from the UK at different times brought across different pronunciations.
That's my explanation and I'm sticking to it.

i don't know if david talked to your dh yet. but if he can help it would be great. we want to get started around 10 am, maybe 11. you can just have him give us a call tonight if you want. sorry you're sick. i'm getting over a 2 week long cold that dorothy just got.
Tell her, "It's so that you will one day appreciate the simplicities of spelling in Spanish or Russian or whatever foreign language you take up one day."
At least, I sure appreciate that I can spell in Spanish a whole lot better than in English.
