Love this! Like Dena, it also annoys me when people assume I converted for marriage. I converted after we married because I fell in love with Judaism. Thanks for sharing what's on convert's minds :) Shabbat Shalom!
I converted in to a mixed marriage - and my daughter was born before I converted, so she went through the conversion process too (though you don't send a 3 year old to the beit din!)
Oh Chavi, this is awesome! I wish many, many more people will see it :) Also, your humor - helped so much to bring the point across! (Ftr, no more shabbes here, it's almost 11pm)
I began this blog in April/May 2006 shortly after converting to Judaism under Reform auspices in Lincoln, Neb., as a way to discuss my journey. After all, the Jewish journey doesn't end with conversion, it's where it starts! This blog winds its way through a variety of cities -- Lincoln, Washington D.C., Chicago, Storrs (CT), Teaneck (NJ), and Denver -- as well as a variety of jobs. I trekked through Reform Judaism to Conservative to Orthodoxy while living in Chicago and converted Orthodox on January 1, 2010. I've been married and divorced since my Orthodox conversion and would proudly say I'm denominationally "Underconstructionist."
The purpose of this blog is to share my story, my struggles, my ups and my downs, and to connect with others about anything and everything Jewish and social media. Write me, talk to me, comment, and be well!

It does annoy me when people assume I converted for marriage. My husband isn't even Jewish.
