Every year our church hosts a Marriage Conference – a Friday evening and Saturday day to help couples reconnect and hear from great speakers + our own pastor on how we can strengthen our marriages in a godly way. Aaron and I went for the first time last year and got a lot out of […]

rylie’s first steps
In October 2017, Aaron and I confidently said, “oh Rylie will definitely be walking by her 1st birthday!” When that came and went, we said, “oh she’ll definitely be walking by Thanksgiving.” That came and went. Then Christmas. Then we decided our goal was that she’d be walking before Emmaline arrived in early April. Surely […]

How has your week been? Mine has been good but it feels like it’s been “go-go-go” even though our calendar doesn’t reflect that. I’m at the point in pregnancy too where I get physically tired quickly and I don’t like to hurry, which just requires planning. But like every week, there are multiple things […]
the best kind of weekend
The last few weekends have been a little busy and not as relaxing as we like, so when I was looking at the calendar late last week and saw Saturday was completely empty, we purposefully didn’t fill it with anything. Friday We started our weekend off by dropping Rylie off for a sleepover with […]

christmas weekend 2017
For the last few days I’ve been living in a cloud of sugar, pajamas, Christmas festivities, carbs (lots of them) and saying “Merry Christmas” to pretty much everyone I encounter – anyone else with me? Now that I’m emerging from this cloud, I’m excited to reflect on the cozy Christmas weekend of uninterrupted family […]

moving day
From the moment I got home from work on Friday (12.15.17) at 5pm, it was a mad-dash of packing. With Christmas 10 days from our closing date, we wanted to get into the house ASAP so we could spend our first Christmas there without a huge pile of unpacked boxes surrounding us. We loaded […]
