At the beginning of the year, my dad surprised Chad and I with a summer pass to a local music venue. The concerts were every Wednesday and we could go to as many as we wanted. The venue, Innsbrook Afterhours is only a mile or two away from our house and is basically a grassy […]

I’m dedicating this TBT to my sweet husband. I love him so much [and wasn’t he a cute kiddo?!]. Today is his 25th birthday! I’m so thankful God gave me a man with a birthday that is easy to remember: 8.8.88. I am notoriously bad at remembering birthdays – ask my friends. Anyway, I’m so […]

Let’s put it this way. I am NOT competitive. I mean, I just don’t really care about winning or beating people. I don’t size myself up next to people very often, and when I do, it’s a really weird feeling and I feel wrong for doing it. But you know what? It’s a good thing […]

As we packed up for year 3, putting our things in piles and running around our house turning off appliances and unplugging electronics, I checked my email one last time. I was heading to the beach with my husband and knew I wouldn’t be checking my email a ton, so I figured – one more […]
