The long version:

I started writing online in September 2000 as Hannah Beth, on a GeoCities site that I oh-so-cleverly titled “Journey of a Girl.” I was 24, living in Columbus, Ohio, with my BFF and a little terrier mutt named Montego. I was working in the home office of a major American retailer and was constantly looking for love.

In the subsequent years I moved to Atlanta, waited tables, got a new job, bought a house, dated lots of people, rediscovered my relationship with God, surrendered my life to Him, went on a mission trip, got baptized and added a second dog — a mutt who showed up on my doorstep when she was only 11 weeks old. I named her Scout.

In January 2007 — on one of our weekly dog park trips — Scout and I met a really nice guy with a bulldog. We started dating and fell in love. (The man and me, not me and the bulldog. Ha.) Three short months later, he moved back to his home state of Minnesota for a new job, but we kept dating long distance. We soon got engaged, and on May 2, 2008, we were married in front of 100 of our friends and family at the Don CeSar Beach Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida.

These days we live in suburban Minneapolis with our son Harry and our dogs.

After two years trying to conceive, one loss and one surgery, we started the domestic infant adoption process in August 2010 and we welcomed Harry into our hearts and home Nov. 21, 2010, when he was two days old!

Aaron has an office job in the City, and I work as a writer/communications staffer at a large, multi-site church.

Though I’ve been writing online since 2000, the archives only go back to 2005, when I upgraded to blogging software. (Before then I’d been hand coding all my entries and uploading them via FTP. Which is practically like doing math on an abacus.)

In April 2010, I retired my previous URL — hannahbeth.com — and moved to theseprices.net. Hannah Beth was who I was, and it didn’t seem to fit with this new person who is a wife, a Minnesotan, a photographer, and a new mother.
