Hello, it’s me.

Blogging again.

Not promising myself this is going to be consistent, but I’m at least going to try. Last time I tried to start this thing back up again, life whisked me in every which way. And it might just do that again. For now, here’s a time lapse in short sentences to help you catch up:

PK got a new job.

He got accepted into and started business school.

We got pregnant with Eleanor.

Eddy turned two.

Eleanor was born.

Nick became the Bachelor.

And bam. Now here we are in the midst of it all.

Thanks to all the sweet folks that encouraged me to just start to document life again on this bad boy. Whether it be daily or once a month. To be an encouragement to someone somewhere out there hopefully. To offer hope when the going gets tough and when the sailing is smooth.

I’m heading out the door here soon to hang with a friend and her kiddos because you all know that the time after nap and before bed is hit or miss and when it’s miss it’s like pull my hair out.

Here’s a lil’ pic of us as a family of four. My gosh I love these people. Thanks to Stephanie for getting a pic of me from the waist up. You get me. Also, our children are a tough crowd apparently. Stoics.

Glad to be back.

Dear PK,

Happy 3rd anniversary to you my best friend, my man’s man, my opposite, my love. We had absolutely no clue what we were getting into when we said those vows three years ago, did we? Being married to you has been the most incredible journey and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Not one second of it. I love what I got myself into and I love that I get to experience this life with you by my side. You inspire me, you point me toward Christ, and you hold my heart so gently, with extraordinary care. I feel so known and loved and cherished by you. We’ve gone through all sorts of seasons, haven’t we? No one said it was going to be a walk in the park the whole time, and they were right. There are times where, literally by God’s grace alone, we had to weather some fierce storms. Our “robust dialogues”, countless counseling appointments with Dennis, becoming parents and going through the heartache of losing our sweet baby Elston, busy seasons with your work, getting through CPA and CFA exams. It’s in all those things where God has met us in such sweet ways, don’t you think? It’s those seasons that make the sweet seasons sweeter than I ever could have thought up for myself.
