Good Monday morning to you, readers! I has been a long time since my last Marriage Monday post, so I’m happy to be back in the game with this simple little idea. In marriage, there are so many roles you’re playing. “Husband,” and “Wife,” can be broken down into things like best friend, lover, partner […]

And I’m gonna love you like nobody loves you I’ll earn your trust making memories of us. ~ Keith Urban Images © 2012 Laura Gordon Photography

After a long wedding weekend, usually in Northern Virginia, I’ll come home to a clean house. Chad blesses me by picking up, folding couch blankets, putting papers in a pile to be sorted, vacuums, dusts… and sometimes he goes grocery shopping. He is so much faster at cleaning than I am – I get distracted […]

I did my make-up while I listened to The Band Perry pandora station. It’s his favorite band, so I was hoping the songs would get stuck in my head and I’d hum them during the quiet moments. I wore heals – which is a big deal since I’ve been nursing a sprained toe all wedding […]

So I’m back from a weekend of a wedding and some portrait shoots. My feet are still swollen, but I’m off them for a few days of editing, burning DVDs, packaging photos, uploading galleries, and of course, a little football mixed in. Football is something Chad and I love watching together. Our “shows” go out […]

Chad’s grandfather passed a few months into our dating relationship. He was a quiet man, but I loved listening to his prayers. He was so thankful for God’s “lovingkindness.” I can’t read that word in scripture without thinking of a man about whom I knew so little. Chad was gifted his grandfather’s high school ring […]

What is love? What does it mean to love someone? To be IN love with someone? Do I love them like I love my best friend? Or my family? Or like I love horses? While I was dating Chad, I actually researched love. I mean, if I’m going to dabble in it, I may as […]

It was 2007 and my good friend Riva was such a good sport about silly Bachelorette games. Make a veil out of toilet paper and walk around with it. Ask someone [a total stranger] in Wal-Mart if they’d help you “practice walking down the aisle.” Stand on your chair at dinner and sing, “I’m a […]

Since I was…born, I’ve had the hardest time shopping for birthday presents for boys. Whether it’s for my dad, my boy cousins, high school boyfriends, or now, my husband, I am so bad at this. I can’t get away with painting dad a picture with finger paints anymore, or writing my name on the card […]

If this post a little off at times, it’s because I’m writing while watching Cross Country. This is where they take horses and jump them through ponds and over trucks at 20 mph. Needless to say, I’m a little distracted 🙂 I was thinking about something I’ve been super thankful for recently. It’s something that […]
