<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">CULTURAL</span> ANTHROPOLOGY turns out is right up my alley! <span style="font-size: large;">Professor</span> "SoAndSo" (not that he was a horrible teacher but, it also <span style="font-size: large;">wasn't</span> that he was ultra charismatic that I fell in <span style="font-size: large;">love</span> with the <span style="font-size: large;">subject)</span> you know how that goes sometimes. It was the <span style="font-size: large;">substance</span> of the <span style="background-color: white;">subject itself that <span style="font-size: large;">intrigued</span> me. I mean the first discussion we got into was about this tribe whose people <span style="font-size: large;">believed</span> they <span style="font-size: large;">didn't</span> truly <span style="font-size: large;">know</span> their <span style="font-size: large;">gender</span> until they <span style="font-size: large;">reached</span> the age of 12! <span style="font-size: large;">Whaat</span>? <span style="color: #990000;">And then if the boys at the time had come to the conclusion that they were in fact female they would from then on carry out the <span style="font-size: large;">feminine</span> <span style="font-size: large;">roll</span> even to the point of <span style="font-size: large;">faking</span> pregnancies by ingesting some <span style="font-size: large;">herb</span> that would cause first nausea then <span style="font-size: large;">bloating</span> and eventually they they would go <span style="font-size: large;">into</span> the woods to "give <span style="font-size: large;">birth"</span>. Which clearly was only ever feces BUT(as if it couldn't get anymore crazier) they would bury it <span style="font-size: large;">as</span> <span style="font-size: large;">if</span> it was a still birth and all the <span style="font-size: large;">tribe</span> would morn with "<span style="font-size: large;">her</span>" over the loss. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Okay, so I know <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> may <span style="font-size: large;">sound</span> like a <span style="font-size: large;">bad</span> anthropologist coming off like "these <span style="font-size: large;">tribes</span> are <span style="font-size: large;">crazy</span>" but I <span style="font-size: large;">LOVE</span> THEIR CRAZY. Isn't it just mind <span style="font-size: large;">blowing</span> that we are here in the U.S. living out our <span style="font-size: large;">suburban</span> lives and there is <span style="font-size: large;">another</span> society <span style="font-size: large;">out</span> there that is <span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;">celebrating a <span style="font-size: large;">coming of gender age</span>? </span></span></span></span><br />

Not when one is turning thirty. At first actually the idea of it didn't even bother me. I think mostly because I had my "break down" when I turned twenty; which sounds ridiculous I know but none the less is true. Then about a week before the birthday I had a "moment" in which I had a glimpse of what age can mean... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> I was coaching or I should say hanging out with the girls one Friday because they were having a going away party for one of their team mates. As a going away gift Jason, one of the male coaches vowed he would perform a level 5 routine on all of the events. First off was beam, I have to say I was somewhat impressed with his ability and effort in the dance and skill of the routine. And then I had a flash back to when I was 10 and we had just finished a gymnastics meet and were waiting for the award ceremony when a coach Paul Hunt (former male gymnast) entertained us as "Paulina". He was hilarious to watch words can't even describe the routines he performed. Anyway, at that moment I turned to the girl sitting next to me and asked her: what happened to Paul Hunt? "Who" she asked... Are you serious, none of the girls there knew who Paul Hunt was, could not relate to me at all. I was freaking out (inside). Could I be that old? Is Paul Hunt dead? Someone has to know what I'm talking about! And yes, I eventually found another "mature" uhum older coach who remembered Paul and no, he is not dead however he no longer performs as Paulina:) </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> If you ask me life is a bit crazy. Why in the world did I ever think thirty year olds' were old? I had a little bit of a shock about turning thirty and then I got on with it. Besides, I have spoken to many adults who have said life just gets better with age. And I figure that's a pretty good motto to live by. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

When I awoke that morning on the table was a vase full of beautiful roses and a card in which he encouraged me to go out and do the things I love but don't get to do with the kids. I didn't need to be told more then once so, I headed to one of my favorite craft stores and took my time perusing the isles looking for a project to take home. I eventually picked out a wall hanging embodiery pattern, the floss needed and a bag of my favorite pretzel M&M's. The afternoon was spent chatting with my grandparents, looking through magazines and books and recieving fun letters and pictures from the kids. That evening my parents watched the kids while we got dressed up for a fancy dinner. </em></span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="color: cyan; font-family: inherit;"> However, before dinner Dave supprised me by taking me to one of my FAVORITE clothing stores 'anthropology'. I rarely shop there because of prices but I LoVe their clothes & the store itself is very "artsy" they change the decore every season. Anyways, Dave gave me a gift card as we arrived and let me go.... </span><br />

It's amazing to think of how happy we were and yet it was a time when we had next to nothing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> As I reflect upon the years and all we have experienced together I become more aware of how special our bond is. For me, falling in love for the first time, a year long engagement; apart most of the time keeping in touch through letters.... Our wedding day. Exploring different parts of the country together, buying our first home, having our children and raising them together. The sacrifices we have made together and individually for each other. The fights and the making up. Growing as individuals yet always sharing the growth with the other wether it be spiritual, intelectual or physical. Discovering new interests together, we love picking out books to read out loud with one another or planning trips that we will take one day together. I'm so greatful for the life we have shared and the woman I have become because of my husband who has encouraged me along the way. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> Now there are many things I lack, and mistakes often outweigh the triumps however, there is one thing that I have done right and I am so glad I followed the inspiration I had 8 years ago. For our first anniversary, like I said we didn't have much money so we decided we would treat ourselves to a nice dinner at a beautiful resturante along 17 mile drive. However, in order to do this we made a rule that we would only give each other homemade gifts. I decided to make Dave a memory box out of an old cigarete box I picked up from a shop and then covered with beautiful pictures of expereiences we had through the first year. Inside the box I splurged and went out and found a beautiful small leather bound journal. Inside the journal I wrote Dave a happy anniversary love letter and then included favorite memories that stood out from the past year. I also promised that every year I would add a new love letter along with fresh memories we had made. I'm happy to say that I've stuck to the tradition and that every anniversary I read to him my love letter and then we take turns reading through the memories we have made. Some of them make us laugh and others bring tears of joy but everyone of them pull us closer together and remind of how our love has grown. </span><br />

In the end Papa was able to coax her in to waiting and it paid off. However, both her fish escaped before we could get them off the line. She was just thrilled to get a bite!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My cousins and I would spend hours exploring the old barn, climbing on the tractors, or chasing through the Fields. Nature truly does stir the soul, being on the farm away from all the distractions of city life was so good for us. I love re-creating these experiences for my children and hope they will cherish them as I do one day :)</em></span> </div>Tiffany's kaliedescopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235236721168080976noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404645404891304661.post-54825387632440618002010-05-28T12:18:00.000-07:002010-05-31T19:49:47.769-07:00LifE iS bEaUtifulL!<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I'm grateful for the personal growth and expanding perspective I have gained over time. I love photography and all the beauty it allows us to capture, I think that childhood is indeed a magical time of life and hope to share a glimpse of my children's here. One of my greatest passions is traveling whether it be across the Atlantic or a simple trip to Bear Lake to see grandma. I truly love exploring this beautiful world we live in. I want to share anything and everything that inspires me be it food, places, people, textures you get the point. ( This is so exciting! :) </span>Tiffany's kaliedescopehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235236721168080976noreply@blogger.com3
