More Than Just a Happy Meal

It’s 8pm and I’ve just left my mom, 7 month old baby, and nephew standing outside my locked car in the parking structure at the mall as I speed walk back to the stores we visited in search of my lost car/house keys. Despite the fact that I’m a natural worrier/over thinker, when it comes to moments like these this unusual… Continue reading More Than Just a Happy Meal

Show Genuine Interest

Among the many things that I enjoy doing with my husband, one of my favorites and top of the list is going to church together. We’ve been going to Parkcrest Christian Church together since 2006 (a few months after we started dating) and it’s a connection we share that has become a very important part of… Continue reading Show Genuine Interest

There is a swim suit out there with my name on it!

  “The most beautiful curve on a woman’s body is her smile” I read that quote on a Facebook post the other day, and how appropriate that I happened to remember it yesterday as I stood in front of the mirror at the Macy’s department store, the swim suit department no less, and tried on what… Continue reading There is a swim suit out there with my name on it!

Milestones and New Experiences

I felt such a need just now to get on here and write. Like when your body is thirsty for water and can’t wait to be satiated. It’s been a week of exciting milestones that I can’t wait to share. So if you’re ready for some baby stories, sit back, relax, and enjoy. Our little girl is… Continue reading Milestones and New Experiences

Monkey Mind

A few days ago I was having one of those moments where my thoughts began to run wild and I allowed them to get the best of me. It was one of those days where I was feeling overwhelmed and one small thought turned into a jumble of fabricated stories in my head.  It’s amazing how… Continue reading Monkey Mind

A Ballroom Love Story

Did I ever share the story of how my husband and I met? I love our story because it reminds me of how God really does have a path for each of us. Of course we all have free will and different roads to choose from, I believe though that when we follow God’s intended path for… Continue reading A Ballroom Love Story

Love is in the little things

Today was filled with a whole bunch of lovely moments. My day started off with one of my favorite things…my husband and I saying a prayer together before starting a new day. For me this has always been one of the best ways to start off my day. I love when it’s dark in the… Continue reading Love is in the little things

“Love is a verb”

There’s so many things that I took away with me this weekend from our marriage retreat, most importantly that we can’t do it alone, that it’s important to have God guide us and be an essential part of our relationship and also that “love is a verb”. This “love is a verb” comes from Andy Stanley’s… Continue reading “Love is a verb”
