Welcome!

It’s so nice to see you here. I’m Rebekah.

Asked to describe myself in three words, I would probably choose Jesus-lover, dreamer, and beauty-seeker. {Hyphenations count, right?} Unfortunately, that still leaves the bio-seeker with a bit to be desired. I am a wife, married for just over a year to my best friend, the one I love. I am a dancer and a dance teacher. I am a child, a sister, a friend. A collector, of teacups and books. {So many books!} I like to sing, to cook, to write, to create. I could happily live on a diet of chocolate, fruit, and sweet tea. My heart longs to be back in India, with the children that I love.

I married Michael, my best friend, the one whom my soul loves,  in July of 2010, and my life has been sweeter ever since. There’s nothing I love more than being with him.

I am not homeschooling, as we don’t have children, but both Michael and I were homeschooled. In fact, homeschooling is still a huge part of our lives, as we’re the registration coordinators for our state’s annual convention.

After over a year of work on our house, it’s almost completely renovated. There’s still some work to do, but most of the major things are checked off the list – and I have a kitchen sink! Now I’m looking forward to being able to devote more resources to our yard next spring.

Honey and Cheese is my little nook where I share my ramblings, Jesus-lessons, and small bits of beauty I stumble upon (which I also share on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest). I also desire to encourage stay-at-home daughters through A Lady in Waiting.

And, just in case you’re just as good at procrastinating real life as I am (dishes? who needs to do dishes?), here are a few random snippets about me that will either entice you to keep coming back to see what I share next, or make you want to run away as fast as you possibly can.

• I’ve been to India six times, Singapore twice, and to Canada and Venezuela one time each. I’ve seen the insides of airports in several more countries, but that doesn’t really count.
• I don’t like shoes.
• I’m currently barefoot.
• If So You Think You Can Dance ever had an audition in my neck o’ the woods, you can bet I’ll be there.
• I might even audition for American Idol if they’re ever around here.
• My talents with a musical instrument are limited at best, but I do love (playing at) playing the piano and the cello
• I start a lot of sentences with “and.”
• I could drink sweet tea by the gallon.
• I have a large collection of children’s books.
• I’m learning how to turn scribblings and doodles into bonafide journaling.
• My life revolves around Jesus. I talk to Him frequently throughout the day and you just might hear me talking about Him here on this little blog.
• You can read my opening post on Honey and Cheese here.
