The other day I received a package from my cousin, Laura. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever been given. Laura and I were pregnant at the same time and would text back and forth–commiserating over pregnancy woes and cheering each other on. I’m thankful for a cousin who prays for me. Laura’s… Read More Thoughtfulness
For the third summer in a row my family was able to come visit us. But this time there was a newborn to cuddle. Little Brynn Kathryn got passed from aunt to aunt to grandparent all week.

As a newlywed couple, Stephen and I were given this hand-me-down glider rocker back in Indiana. It has served us well for the past almost 9 years, but I’ve been wanting to re-do it for a while now. The old rocker finally got its complete make-over. Before: After: I love it! Stephen spray painted it… Read More A Rocking Chair Face Lift
