16 years as husband and wife + 18 years as friends. đź’•An arm load of kids, more than a handful of vehicles, turning a house into a home, pulling through the seasons that felt like they had more bad days than good, and yet enjoying each other and honoring our vows through it all.We're still choosing ...
The Wife
Want to know something? A very real reason I love being a wife is because it is so incredible to watch another human so closely and cheer them on as they chase their passions. It's as much about me, as it is about HIM. Since I was 18 years old I have had the safety of having "my person". It's ...
When Momma Ain’t Happy
A 2014 draft that hadn't been published: During my bi-annual dental cleaning my hygienist and I were talking and she said "ya know, if the wife ain't happy" and we both laughed a little. We are both wives and moms. We know how funny, and true the quote "When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" ...
Texts From Dad: The Church
From my dad: "This is the church where your mother and I got married."

I picked up a handful of these cute little chalkboard label stand things (unofficial title) at Hobby Lobby to use for a flea market this past summer. After the big event I stuck one of these on our bathroom counter between the His &Her sinks. I planned to only leave it there for the weekend, ...
January 26th is National Spouses Day!
Did you know that today is National Spouses Day? It's okay if you didn't, I just heard it on the news about 20 minutes ago! Apparently each year on January 26th, National Spouses Day is observed. While I like to think that in a healthy marriage you'd just honor and celebrate your spouse ...
Finding JOY in my Husband’s Personality: Christmas Break 2015 Edition
Each year around Christmas my husband takes a couple weeks off of work to just “be”. Some years he takes on huge projects, and some years he just fiddles around the house. As a young bride it used to drive me crazy when he’d take all that time off of work and not “DO” anything. I never understood ...
