Nothing fancy! Just family time in the mountains. When all your people are gathered close it seems nothing else is really necessary. Simple is sacred. Scrambled eggs at the picnic table, scripture on the porch, chippies on the patio, sunshine behind the trees. A slow, sunny morning at the cabin in the mountains!

Bowie’s Fifth Birthday Recently our Golden Doodle, Bowie, turned five years old! Bowie has contributed only highlights to our lives (well, maybe aside from the time he somehow got second hand skunked) and celebrating another year with him following us at our heels was very easy!  If you haven’t met Bowie, he hasn’t met a […]

Sometimes rainy days can be such a drag. But not this week! This week our big rainy day got a dose of happy because my brother and sister in law and my nephew Caleb made a spontaneous trip to Austin. And as luck would have it, my sister Sara just happened to be in Austin, […]

Even being an introvert who loves to be at home, I’m feeling how hard being quarantined is. Some moments I’m feeling super productive and some moments I’m feeling like all I want to do is watch The Office. It’s hard not to feel sad when all I want to do is hop out there and […]

Kenton and I have been praying to root ourselves in one spot for a long, long time. Years of renting homes and moving around a lot has led us to value and desire the idea of staying in one place for a long, long time. We think it’s wise and we think it’s good. When […]

  Dripping Springs, Texas, here we come! I can’t believe I’m even writing this post because this is truly such a crazy surprise!! After a lot of thought and prayer, Kenton has accepted job at an incredible church in Dripping Springs, Texas (which is just outside Austin) and we’ll be moving there mid summer! His […]

I love the new year because it’s like a blank white board. And I like that analogy because I LOVE SCHOOL SUPPLIES. I just do. I always have. The last week of summer was always sad to me, but the first week of school was the BEST because I got to get all new binders […]

I have a habit of picking up stray dogs. Since moving to an area where people will dump unwanted dogs, I’ve stopped more times than I can count. It’s a really sad reality and it always impacts me tremendously. It’s next to impossible for me to pass by a dog on the road and not […]

WE MOVED, Y’ALL! As I write, I’m sitting at a dining table in a little cabin in the piney woods, and Howie (the bunny) is scurrying around my feet, exploring his new (temporary) home, while Bowie (the Doodle) is perched on his bed in the guest (bunk***) room looking out the window, protecting us from […]
