It is hard to believe that two years ago that I learned that I lost the twins. If we had coffee today, I would tell you that I didn't even wake up today remembering this. In a strange twist of events, I was participating in looking into what I posted two years ago and...

With Brian's job starting, we decided that we were going to take a little getaway up North to Prescott. The first place we always stop is Smitty's Big Barn Antiques. The first time I stumbled on this place was with my friend Aimee. (Look Aimee! They fixed the stairs.)...
We took a quick road trip this weekend up to Prescott. I'll share more about the wonderful trip very soon, but first... We wanted to celebrate our big news... After 18 months of prayers and rejoicing anyways, Brian starts a new job in the morning! Thank you to...

I love taking little nooks in my house and just make them cute. You know?! So here is the story of this little area. The picture is from LilyGene. The stamp says our names, anniversary and College Station, Texas - where we were married. The hymnals are close to my...
I have a dear friend who writes a very beautiful, Christ centered blog - Crumbs from His Table. I read her post on 2 Corinthians 4 and almost did cartwheels! Do you know what it says?! We are... pressured in every way but not crushed perplexed but not in despair...
Last night I reached out to a friend. Sara over at Saving for Someday is one of those rare friends that is both online and IRL (in real life). Her nightly tweets keep me laughing with her humor about #shakeandbake and Talladega Nights and Ricky Bobby. I shared what...
It was a great day. It started with a last minute garage sale. The weather was beautiful. The garage was full of stuff that we needed to take to Goodwill, so it wasn't really so much a garage sale as a "hey, let's open the garage and sit here listening to country...
"Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, Rejoice!" Philippians 4:4 Grandma always said that when you aren't exactly sure what to say, you should just Praise Him. Today was a long day. A little not great news at the doctor. I've been overly tired since the...
This past Saturday, I ventured out to my first Pinterest Party. My wingman got sick (I hope you feel better soon, Lauren!) so I had to brave it alone. I may technically be an extrovert, but I am horrible at showing up places by myself. Heather from Brie Brie Blooms,...
Last month, we talked about Etsy Tips: Â Photographing your Item. Today, let's talk about packaging your item! Receiving something in my mailbox is so fun for me. And receiving something in my mailbox that is a lovely package will make me smile, capture my complete...

In the morning we were treated to an amazing breakfast. Nate wanted to know what this new awesome show was on tv. We explained that it was Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Awwwww yeah. You know what that means? I have to relearn the intro song. It'll be awesome. I am super...
We had a late celebration of our 13th anniversary. It was magical. We stayed at the Fairmont Princess ~ one amazing thing about living in the desert is that they run amazing specials for the locals because it is just too hot for people to actually travel here as a...
Saturday afternoon started off slow and sweet. We tried to rest this weekend - really, really rest. I am so thankful that we did!
My sweet friend Kim let me know that her father is now keeping company with the angels. His love poured out onto his daughters and grandson. It was evident in the small time I spent with them. Kim, I am so very sorry for you loss. Sincerely, Kate
The weekend started out with a very beautiful family photo session. You may remember Lauren's girls from the Picnic in the Park Sessions. Thank you, Lauren. Your family is beautiful!
This weeks pictures brought to you by: A very rare look at the office I work at 🙂 We had office olympics a few weeks ago and it was a blast! I was able to bring the kids in for the opening ceremony parade.... so fun!...
I'm blessed. Julia got in on the fixer upper bug and she and Brian painted my front door. When Brian asked what color I wanted, I threw him a Dottie Angel towel and said 'the blue on there'. Clear as mud, huh? Can I just tell you that I am in love? So, so...
After a miscarriage, I am physically exhausted. My body is so tired and it is all I can do to keep my eyes open some days. Brian had found a picnic table on freecyle and a few Saturdays ago I woke up from a nap to some strange noises... He had Nate and a friend...
