A requirement to graduate Highlands College is to go on a mission trip. Aaron and I had aspirations to go to another country to fulfill this requirement, but between finances, being uncomfortable being in another country than Rylie (with her being so young at least) as well as my pregnancy, we decided to pursue one […]

recreate women’s conference 2017
Thursday & Friday (9.28-29.17) was the Conference 1 of the ReCreate Women’s Conference at Church of the Highlands. The Women’s Conference is so popular that they have two of them (one is Thursday / Friday and the other is Friday / Saturday – they are identical, just on two different options to allow room for […]
home to office
MONDAY (7.3.17) was a rough day. Rylie was abnormally fussy, I was a hot mess in a t-shirt and emotionally exhausted. That evening, I found myself saying, “I want to go back to working a full time job!” Aaron & I talked it out, found how it could work, and a couple days later, I […]
motion17
MOTION is the name of Church of the Highlands student conference that they’ve hosted for the past 9 years. This year, it was held at the BJCC with 16,000+ students from across the country. It’s a phenomenal event that I was excited to be apart for the very first time. I was asked to serve […]
serve day 2017
On SATURDAY (7.15.17) our church had their annual SERVE Day. Outreach is not everyone’s spiritual gift (I can tell you right now, it’s not mine), but our pastor strongly encourages the congregation to participate one Saturday of the year and serve their community. It’s an effort that has motivated many people, and multiple churches across the country (+ other countries) participated with […]

summer blast 2017
This last MONDAY, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY (7.10-12.17) was Summer Blast with Church of the Highlands. I was the leader of Kindergartners & it was a lot of fun! The theme was “Wanna-Be-A-Leadera” so all the props were outdoor themed. Blurry, but we’re a group of bears so I guess we scared off our picture-taker 😜 […]
a visitor at school
Last night (TUESDAY – 4.18.17) was our last day of school for the semester. We still have a final to take at home (open book finals are my JAM!!! 😀 ) and a 10k (which I’ll probably be walking most of 😛 ), but otherwise, we are done for the summer. This first year of […]
happy easter 2017
We’ve successfully celebrated Rylie’s 1st Easter! 😀 It wasn’t super “easter-y,” mainly because I didn’t see the point in getting her an Easter basket or doing an egg hunt (you better believe I’m doing that next year though!!! 😛 ), but we had a great, full morning of church (if you want to see our […]
rest
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out…? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.” – Matthew 11:28 Today, I want to talk with you guys about rest. To be honest, I’ve been exhausted lately. I love my life, but it is […]

God’s perfect timing
In August of 2016, Aaron applied for a job at the local Christian radio station as an Account Executive (someone who finds the businesses who advertise on the radio). It was during 21 Days of Prayer, and we were praying every day that this could be the job for him. He went through a long interview […]
