About

Also worth noting: I have an obsession
with making terrible faces in pictures

My name is Adrian Waller, and here's what I think you should know about me:

I'm in my very early 20s (23, at the moment). This means I know everything nothing and have a lot to learn. (Addendum: I love using strikethroughs.)

I love writing on Life Before the Bucket.

I also would love it if you wrote for Life Before the Bucket! (E-mail me if you're interested!)

I was diagnosed with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia at a young age, so I now have the lung function of someone who is over 85 years old.

I wasn't born here, but I've lived in Kansas my entire life.

My beard could beat up your beard.

I've been married since June 2009 and I'm madly in love. Sorry, ladies.

I have my Bachelor's in Family Ministry & Bible from a Christian college, but that doesn't mean I have all the answers.

Adoption is a passion of mine that I cannot contain. It defines everything that I do.

I'm officially a student Marriage and Family Therapist! I promise not to therapize you, though.

I enjoy making goals and reaching them, even if I sometimes fail along the way.

My obsession with coffee is completely unhealthy.

Two countries I love (probably definitely more than the United States): Sierra Leone and Taiwan.

My faith in Jesus means a lot to me, but it doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong (or vice versa). I prefer the "let's find what we have in common and work from there" approach (otherwise known as friendship). I guess that makes me a terrible Christian.

I accept bribes and donations in the form of money, coffee, or steak.

Fatherhood is something I write about from time to time, even if I don't have kids yet.

I don't mind making waves, but it's not my specialty.

I'm a typo Nazi, but that doesn't mean I don't make mistakes. Feel free to point them out to me.

I write because I have a unique perspective on the fact that life is way, way, way too short and we all suck at living it for what it's worth. So often we're given so much and do so little with it. If you're interested in joining with us, then find a way to follow Life Before the Bucket!
