For a few years now, I've given up on new years resolutions and chosen a word of the year. Each year has proven that the word chosen was correct and brings a whole new meaning to the word. As I mentioned in my wrap up post, 2018 was Grow. And boy did we grow, and [...]

June 2018 | Wrap Up Post
Friends, how are we at the end of June? Seriously, I'm writing this and then publishing it, yeah procrastination! Also, I'm eagerly waiting for vacay later this summer. June has come and gone or almost gone. The biggest celebration this month was, of course, celebrating our 11th anniversary. We've been married for 11 years. Shocking, [...]
February 2018 | Wrap Up Post
It's time for a monthly update, and I'm hoping you're enjoying the accountability posts or will once I keep them up this year! This month I participated in my first Impact Day with Keep It Wild, although the weather wasn't great I got out and hiked/picked up trash for 2 hours with a few friends [...]
January 2018 | Wrap Up
It's been a while since I've written a diary post. Since moving back to Colorado schedules and routines have been a bit wonky to say the least, and we're trying to get to a new normal. I am extremely grateful for the part-time hallmark position I began in December, a much-needed boost to our bank [...]
2018 | Goals
Hey there! It's 2018, already?! Where did the time go? I cannot believe 2017 is over, so much happened...and was tweeted about...but now it's a new year and time for a new beginning. BLOG I want to refocus my blog on the things I LOVE and want it to be about. Which are: books, I [...]
Diary Post 11/11/2017
So, it's been a legit long time since I've written a diary post. But honestly, not a ton has happened. Ok, so we did go see the eclipse in Madras, my BFF got married in Austin, & I turned 31 (insert horrified emoji face here). But really over the last month it's been mostly me, packing, [...]
31 Things a Birthday Post
Birthday posts, seem weird to me. Almost brag or prideful, kind of showy and yet here I am. I am 31 today. Seriously. 10 years ago, we celebrated my 21st birthday not at a bar but seeing Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix. yep, I was (still am actually) a nerd. Since there [...]
10th Anniversary
At 1:00 in the afternoon at FBC Nacogdoches, I stood in the vestibule of the chapel waiting for the music to start. My dad turned to me and said, you ready? I said yeah and he said show me your game face, and we made stupid angry football faces at each other as the music [...]
Brave Steps
So incase you missed it my word for 2017 is brave, which is ironic & obvious in so so many ways. One of the brave things I did in the last few months was host an ethical fashion party at my church, this is a VERY big deal to me. You see we've been going [...]
Ivory Palaces
This week at church we are talking about the blessing of peace, I recently shared a story with our worship committee of which I'm a member of the peace that comes with music, specifically a song that was my grandfather's favorite hymn. I was asked to share this story today at church and thought of [...]
