Sarah is such a bright light in our family. I mean, just look at that face?! She is sweet, brave, resilient, kind, and has an awareness of others that is beautiful. A day spent with Sarah is bound to be an amazing day and we love our little girl so much. A couple months ago, …
Thoughts this Winter Oh this winter. As I am writing this, we are in the thick of what feels like MADNESS, so I will try and reflect on the whole winter and not just our current status! This winter treated us really well in many ways. We are still, miraculously, where I kind of wanted …
What a year. Maybe I can say this now that we are in our second decade of marriage but we were such babies when we got married. So much life has happened since then. So much good. So much growth. Everything we have experienced has brought us closer. And I am grateful every day that …

The weekend before Valentine’s Day, Mark was offered the position in Colorado and on Valentine’s Day, he formally accepted! It was the best. The only downfall is our life has become consumed with all of those details involved. But we …
Oh goodness, this was a talk I needed to hear the last couple months! I was so touched by the words of Sister Camille N. Johnson. This talk spoke of faith, as well as adversity and discipleship. Sister Johnson spoke of letting go of our own narrative. And I can say, for myself, that has …
We are moving BACK to Colorado!!! I have wanted to write this post for almost two years. There are so many thoughts that I want to remember about this entire process that I have kept bottled up for so long. This has been a difficult journey for our family but we are feeling so very …
Our final day was a long one – but aren’t travel days always long?! I got up around 4:45 and started packing ALL THE THINGS. The one nice thing is you just know everything has to go back in and you don’t really have to think much. The kiddos got up and ready and we …
