Hi there! I'm so glad you decided to stop by for a visit. I'm Alyx, and here's what you should know:

1. I am married to that stud up there and we've got two little ones. They're all pretty amazing humans, and even though I have days where I want to rip my hair out, I love 'em. Lots.

2. I love photography almost as much as I love my family. You can see my work here. I am based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I love to travel! See if I'm coming near you anytime soon!

3. I'm kind of a nerd. I love languages, grammar, and writing. I'm fluent in German and have spent a good portion of my life living abroad.

4. I love to travel! Although we have not done much traveling since starting our family a few years ago, I have been to 16 countries and am working on hitting all the states in the US.

5. I get pretty invested in whatever I'm reading, so if you ever see me with a book in hand, it's best to walk on by without interrupting my dream world.

6. I love all things exercise, fitness, and outdoorsy. If you love those things, too, we can totally geek out!

7. I also love makeup! It's a recent obsession, and it started when I began selling LipSense about six months ago. I ended up separating from that company because of the way it was being run, but it's been so fun to learn and experiment. I've found an amazing product that allows me to be completely ready for the day in about 10 minutes, so that has been an amazing opportunity. You can learn more about Maskcara here.

Hey! You're a fulbright scholar in Germany? I was thinking about applying for this upcoming year for Turkey! I would love to talk to you more about it :)

Alyx said...

I was totally singing the baller song last night while we were leaving the restaurant. A couple looked at me weird when I sang "and if I had a girlfriend I would call her".

Hey Alyx--I came over from A Modern Grace when I saw you comment about living in Germany. We also lived in a Germany for a short stint and traveled extensively in Germany and to 10 other countries besides while we were there. Nice to "meet" you :-)

KelleyAnnie @ Over the Threshold said...

Aaa, sorry to comment again, but I just saw that you have actually been to Marburg and that's where we lived! I actually taught a medical English class at the university there. Too exciting since most people do not know Marburg!

Hello there, Could I export this post image and make use of that on my personal blog? 카지노사이트

Wow!, this was a top quality post. In concept I’d like to publish like this as well – taking time and real effort to make a nice article… but what can I say… I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done https://totoya24.com

I must show some appreciation to the writer for bailing me out of such a problem. After exploring through the internet and getting principles that were not productive, I assumed my life was gone. Being alive devoid of the answers to the difficulties you’ve resolved by way of this report is a crucial case, and the kind that might have in a negative way affected my career if I had not noticed your blog post. Your primary training and kindness in maneuvering all things was very useful. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not come across such a stuff like this. I can at this moment look forward to my future. Thank you so much for the expert and results-oriented help. I will not hesitate to suggest your web page to any individual who needs to have guidelines on this topic. 가입시 꽁머니 사이트
