The last two months have been an absolute whirlwind! Moving is the worst. There is just no other way to put it. There are so many moving parts and it is just overwhelm every day. Just days after we returned from our Disneyland trip, Mark was offered a job in Colorado. We luckily had been …
Eagle Way
Saying goodbye to our home…it’s hard. We came into this home pretty broken. It maybe sounds crazy to some, but we were shattered when we had to leave Garden City and move to Rock Springs. Have you ever had a dream that you never really thought would happen? And then IT DOES! And then it …
Sarah Esther
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, …
Winter 2022 Schoolhouse
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 …
11th Anniversary
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 …
Wheelchair
This last month Lydia got her first wheelchair! And she LOVES it! Several people had warned me that this was going to be a really emotional experience, but it really wasn’t – or at least, it was only in a really positive way! Once we got her all in, I was so happy for her! …
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Last November, Lydia had a sleep study done – you can read about that HERE. After the sleep study they recommended she get put on oxygen. This was a hard blow for us. We also scheduled an appointment with an ear, nose, and throat doctor as well as with pulmonology. Oxygen Welp, it hasn’t been …
Valentine’s Day
Ever since we got back from Disneyland our house has become a topsy-turvy crazy mess! 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 …
Coloradans
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 …
Homeward Bound
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 …
