16 years as husband and wife + 18 years as friends. 💕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 ...
Marriage, according to A Slightly Better Wife
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" ...
17 Years Ago Today
It was a Friday evening 17 years ago today, that at barely 18 years old, I hopped in my green Camaro with my big brother and drove to his friend's house for a quick visit. It was there that I'd meet the man that would become my husband, and his sweet + spunky one year old daughter (that I thought ...
I’ll follow you
I'd follow Mr. Awesome anywhere, and I do.😂 Seriously, I cannot get enough of this guy. Today anyway... To be honest, on Sunday we deep cleaned the garage together and things got...intense- ha! He keeps too much, I purge too much. That may never change, but hey, we balance each other ...
Will You Be a Servant To Your Spouse, Too?
We attended a precious wedding ceremony and reception for our neighbors yesterday where not only did we get to eat DONUTS in lieu of cake, we also learned the bride and groom’s parents were both celebrating 37 years of marriage. Praise! Deep praise, Lord. My heart was happy as I heard the news, ...
Need Rest? Come to Jesus.
Has anyone ever told you why it’s important to read your devotionals in the morning, rather than in the evening? It’s simple. Soak up the Godly wisdom before your day kicks into high gear, as it always does, and you’re sidetracked by all the earthly things that come your ...
Election Day Blues + I’m Okay
Election day 2018 I posted a joke on my personal Facebook page, and it received some criticism (and praise). Now I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea (or coffee), but the negative responses I received made me mad, and sad, and feel completely misunderstood. It was late, we were in the middle of ...
Street Fighting
Two years ago today this tough guy and I broke up a nasty fist fight in the Wal-Mart parking lot. It was afternoon, the weather was gorgeous and more than anything I just wanted to ignore the world around me and enjoy the seemingly-perfect day with my little tribe. I looked over as we pulled into ...
Snippets from Summer
As I begin to feel summer slipping away and fall sneaking its way in, I thought I'd share some snippets from this lovely summer. True Story From the Smack Dab Middle of Summer: Mr. Awesome was out back staining the swing set. I watched him from the kitchen window for a little while (in a ...
