Hello There!

I’m Sierra. I live in the hinterlands of Western South Dakota. I moved here over a decade ago to build the life I dreamed about. I love it here so much, but the population density makes dating (already difficult) a true struggle.

Ten years ago I wrote about my hilarious and heart breaking experiences looking for someone to make a family with. I was old in the way you can only feel “old” when you’re 30. But I was determined to work hard and find something huge!

Turns out the things I discovered were huge, but not always what I expected. Through writing I learned a lot about myself. I learned how to date, and how to keep from letting life crush me with resentment and bitterness. I learned how to recognize the true traits that I wanted to find in a husband.

I also gained a lot of friends as I built community around this hunt who became an invaluable part of my life. I successfully bagged so much more than a spouse, I also built a community, and a stronger more resilient me!

It wasn’t easy — building a life never is. But if my letters can inform, entertain or encourage you, then I am honored to share this part of my life with you!

Wanna Dish?

Most of these posts are pay-walled. This remains a private experience and while I’m happy to share, something about just having it OUT there felt still too exposing. Would you be willing to buy me a cup of coffee and I’ll tell you ALL the gorey details? Thanks so much!

Obviously since these are old they are all “written” but I’m going through to edit, thin, and rename everyone to protect their identities. I’ll publish them as soon as I get them ready, with no particular schedule.

A Note about Me

These are true stories! You’ll be amazed sometimes how crazy life can be. I only edited the stories for length and identifying detail.

I write from a Christian perspective. My religious faith is very important to me, and I knew I wanted to share that with a husband. I’m very involved in my church and one of the most hilarious parts that grew from this series was the relationships I had with people there. I feel deeply grateful for how my faith sustained me in this process, which was often quite discouraging. I also credit my relationship with God for also giving me the courage to forgive, hope and to never feel I was completely alone.

Even if you aren’t religious or involved in an associative community I think you will be able to deeply enjoy these parts of the story.

Thanks for reading! If you have any questions or comments I would love to hear!

Sierra
