Happy Valentines Day, folks! Chad and I have celebrated this holiday a few ways in the past. Our second Valentine’s day, I was helping at a youth retreat so I decided to postpone our Valentine’s activities to February 27th. And that just to happened to be the day we got engaged! So, if it’s convenient, […]

A few months ago, my friend Katie asked if Chad and I would model for a shoot she was putting together. I love dressing up and having my hair and make-up done, so I asked my husband with little deer eyes if we could, and he agreed. Honestly, he loves there results of having photos […]

We have a serious obsession. We can’t stop thinking about these little islands off the pacific coast!! They are far away and new and beautiful and last year, Chad and I and my family took a trip to Maui. I fell in love with them all over again, and it ignited a love in Chad […]

Yesterday was a day that I’ll look back on for a while. Nothing really crazy happened. Except for that play at the end of the Redskins game… that was a little wacky. But in terms of our marriage, it was just a typical Sunday! We did two things – switched the outlets from beige to […]

We giggled at the number of wolf shirts we’d seen at all of the previous concerts and how it was hilarious that the lady seated next to me was wearing one. Nothing against wolf shirts, but they are unusual, as are the people typically in them. I looked down at what I was wearing – […]

I’ve been doing Marriage Monday for little while now and I’ve loved it. I’ve received really sweet feedback from people and have loved sharing the ins and outs of my perspective. I’m a 2.5 year wife of a man I’ve known for for a little over 6 years! CRAZY! I know I haven’t exhausted my […]

This past weekend we went to a concert – The Storyteller’s Concert with Andrew Peterson and Jason Gray. Chad and I LOVE Andrew Peterson. He is one of the best songwriters in music. Every song is a story, so every song just sucks you in, whether or not you’ve heard it before. I have to […]

Submission. Ugh. I write it, close my eyes, and cringe waiting for the inevitable wrath. Submission is such a dirty word to a lot of woman. Some who just don’t know what it means – they hear submission and they think: slave, forced labor, oppression, suppression, weakness, obey… Some woman have poor male examples and […]

You know, I’m sitting here eating an early lunch of leftover Chinese take-out thinking about marriage, as I often do. I spend my weekends and Monday Mornings preparing for my Marriage Monday posts. But, I obviously don’t have TOO much experience to pull from, so a lot of my words are based on theory. Theories […]

When I met him, he had on a pair of board shorts. And he’d wore them everyday for three months. They were red, black, and white. Most girls shook their heads and rolled their eyes. Because, he wore them everyday. For three months. I was thinking about this today and thought it would make a […]
