We made it! One month married. It feels like just yesterday and forever all in one. Things are slowing down now and I’ve finally had some moments to reflect (when I’m not tearing up at how magical it was and how thankful I feel) on our special, special days in Hawaii. I have quite a… Read More Married!
Exactly two weeks out from boarding a flight to Hawaii for 5 days in paradise with so many of our amazing friends and family. Oh yeah, and to throw a wedding! It’s insane that the date is almost here. Time flew by and I’m a little sad our engagement is almost over, but I’m so… Read More Two Weeks Until Aloha
10 days into the new year and I’ve purposefully been holding off on putting my new 2018 word into the universe. I had some trouble choosing a word this year, with all that 2017 had to offer and throw at us, it was a little daunting looking into 2018. Then on the cold morning of… Read More One Word For 2018: HARMONY
Connect was my word for 2017. And 2017 was one heck of a year for connection. I chose “connect” for many reasons and one of them was because towards the end of 2016, I felt a little like an astronaut free in outer space, wandering through this new life I found myself in and not… Read More Connect: One Last 2017 Check-In
We finally did it. We broke down and gave into the Instapot craze. It always seemed like a fad that would just go away, but about two years after the craze, they’re still selling like hotcakes. And Jake couldn’t take it anymore. He claimed he was the only one at work without one. So under… Read More Instapot Southwestern Chicken Stew
Sometimes I am a procrastinator. There. I said it. But you know what? That’s okay. At least I’m trying to let it be okay. One day I’ll write weekly posts and never forget to send birthday cards and post all my photos on time and read all the books and make only the healthiest of… Read More Thanksgiving Throwbacks
I wrote this post two days before I turned 30. When I still felt like a somewhat innocent twenty-something. While I had to have a come-to-Jesus moment with myself to cross into this new decade, something clicked when I woke up that morning. I finally felt like I could own my power as a female… Read More Bulletproof and LOUD
The rest of the country may be in the throws of summer, but here in Seattle it mostly feels like April in the Midwest. A summer away from the heat has been a bit of a change, but we are adjusting. Since it still feels like spring here, it’s only appropriate that two of our… Read More It’s baby season
Hola. It’s been a minute. And a lot has happened. Like an ENGAGEMENT. March 25th, 2017 to be exact. We’ve been engaged for exactly two months and it has flown by. There’s so much fun stuff to celebrate and do and plan and I’m still staring at my ring every five seconds. Of course I… Read More Two months engaged
Things have been in a rapid state of change for the last year, and especially the last month. And you know what? It’s been pretty great. Last week marked one month since I started a new job in Seattle, which is very different than my previous one working from the Midwest out of Kansas… Read More Been Talkin’ About the Way Things Change
