Hi friends, It’s been so long, I started not to even post. Would you believe that so many things have changed and yet I’m still very much the same? Isn’t that how it goes. Nowadays it seems like everyone blogging is doing it professionally, or at least attempting and talking it up as if they […]
about last night
I walked in the door to find my sweet husband eating left over Brussel sprouts from the fridge. I kissed his neck and whispered, “Get me out of here.” Or something dramatic along those lines. We jumped in the car and headed across the bridge. Every single time I see the Mississippi she makes me […]
myself when I am real
Hello friends! I want to tell you everything and nothing at the same time. How are you? I would promise to be better at this blogging bit but we both know it would only be half true. I am getting better about not over promising myself. So here I am today, a mason jar of […]
May 1st
Hello friends! Today is my birthday. I hope that means you will forgive my absence. I completely missed blogging during my thirty-second year of life. It wasn’t planned but the days happened and here we are now. Garrett woke me up this morning singing, “I’m feeling thirty-three” and it does have a nice ring to […]
the one with the parade
I have a to do list a mile long but I want to share a story. I need to remember it. So I pour a cup of coffee and here I am this early Friday morning. I don’t know where you will be in your day or what will be on your mind. Sometimes it’s easy […]
sunday in the park
Sunday’s are my favorite day of the week. It’s our one day off together that we share and we both make it a point to prioritize accordingly. Initially, giving up our Saturday caused a lot of anxiety for me. When your normal is to have so little time together, it can be a tricky subject to navigate. It’s […]
january dear
Hello 2017. I went in for a hug and you went for a handshake. Or maybe I only imagined even that. While the New Year started off beautifully, the rest of the days this month have been out of sorts. It’s early on a Sunday morning and Garrett is tied up all day which leaves me sipping […]
dear decemeber
A few weeks ago I was perusing Instagram when I noticed a sign in a post that I haven’t stopped thinking about. “Live a life of I get to, not I have to.” It’s simple in a complicated way. I remember it throughout the day. It also makes me feel different things each time I think about it. […]
turning three
November was such a great month. For starters, we celebrated our three year anniversary. This one feels different than the other two and I’m excited to see where this year will take us. I find marriage to be a constant choice of commitment. Sometimes it’s as easy as breathing and sometimes it feels vastly complicated […]
french truck
Perhaps one day I will assemble a list of favorite places to enjoy a cup of coffee. For now we try to limit ourselves to one stop per outing. While on our way to a coffee shop (ironically enough) we drove past this cute little place and Garrett immediately circled back. Enjoyed one of the best […]
