Being more Christlike in our communication

This past Sunday Hamilton and I were asked to give talks in church. Definitely not our favorite thing at all haha. We may seem put together and outgoing, but we both get extremely nervous to talk in front of people. Small groups are more our thing. Anyways, we were given the topic of Christlike communication and after so much prayer and research I have found out a lot about myself and my relationships...

Boy Scout Island Birthday Camping

The night before my birthday (Tuesday night) we canoed out to an island that's about a mile away from the mainland. It was a long ride there because there was a crazy amount of wind and the current was taking us in every direction EXCEPT the one we were going in...but we finally made it there and it was already dark, which wasn't as bad as we thought it...

Current Favorites: Music

Currently listening to these songs I'm about to list below! These are my current "top 10" favorite songs. These are not in any specific order and they are not all new. I really love each of these songs and had them all on repeat. Music is one of my biggest outlets and I love listening to other people's favorites and expanding my own. I also don't have a favorite genre or anything. You'll be able...

Valentine's picks for the man in your life

Valentine's Day is right around the corner! I know so many people "don't believe" in it or don't like to celebrate Valentine's Day, but I love it. It is a day all about celebrating the love you have for each other. I know it seems silly and people say "well you should be loving and celebrating your love each day." That is definitely true, and something Hamilton and I really aim to do, but I love having...

February Inspiration

So, I have been really trying (for the whole one month we've had so far in 2017...lol) to pick one quote a month to try and live by. I really love looking up and finding new quotes. Inspirational sayings are my absolute fav. I have decided to find a scripture too. I have been having a hard time sticking to my daily scripture reading/studying. I think that maybe if I focus on one specific scripture...

Things to tell your husband

These are just a few things that I really feel help build up my husband. As a woman, I feel like my husband goes so out of his way to make sure I feel beautiful and loved, but I don't do that as much for him. I really think it is something that many of us women don't do for the men in our lives, and that makes sense. It isn't something that we are told we should do. It isn't something...

Women's March Thoughts

Pic: Women's March I know that there have been plenty of articles about this subject already but I have been doing some deep thinking lately and really felt inclined to share. I'm sure we are all perfectly aware of the things going on in the world (especially our own country) right now and these are just a few of my opinions and thoughts on the matter. I have been writing this since I heard about...

reading list

I started reading again at the beginning of 2016 and I read quite a few books. I stopped right in the middle of all the Harry Potter books, though....so I want to do my best to read at least one book a month this year. I love reading and writing. I think the best way to continue to learn and grow is by reading! Especially since I want to be an English teacher. I have a few already on my list and I...

Grow

I have been struggling kind of a lot lately. There have been such HUGE life changes in the past two-three years. I know that sounds like a long time for things to still be affecting me, but when you lose a loved one or get married, those are things that will probably affect you for the rest of your life. The thing is that you can choose how it affects you. You can have a positive or negative...

Why I started my blog

I started my blog in summer of 2013 after I graduated high school. So, I've had it for quite some time haha. I was really good about posting for the first year, then I stopped for a few months. I have been blogging off and on since then. My new years resolution was to start posting regularly again. Because it has really been sporadic the past year and it is something I'm pretty passionate about! I...

Things I learned after marriage

Before we got married we got a TON of different advice! Everyone wanted to tell us what to or not to do, which I feel like that's pretty normal. I just love hearing what everyone says! We had a box at our wedding where people would write down their advice for us, I really have enjoyed reading all of them. However, there are a few things that I have learned through this last year and a half. Some...
