Our Love Story

This one is LONG overdue, and I absolutely love telling it, but aside from a condensed version on our wedding website, I’ve never written my and my husband’s love story. I was always trying to write what I thought would be my “love” story in my journals growing up, but the other person was never… Read More Our Love Story

9 Back to School Prayers

About this time every year, I see prayer lists for back to school circulating the internet, and this year I wanted to create my own. This will be my fifth year teaching, and though I haven’t been at this thing nearly as long as my veteran colleagues, I know that we need prayers now more… Read More 9 Back to School Prayers

My Wedding Video | June 30, 2018

Anything I have to say won’t do the video above justice. I ventured out of my written-word comfort zone and tried my hand at video editing using iMovie. By no means do I consider myself a pro, BUT I had footage from our wedding day and I really wanted to create something special for my… Read More My Wedding Video | June 30, 2018

Okay, so it’s only day two and my co-teacher and I are REALLY hoping for the first snow day of the semester tomorrow (prayers please). But still.

There should be two dogs in these pictures.
This week’s blog post is dedicated to the first trimester and all that happened after initially finding out I am pregnant. The moody, sepia-toned photos are absolutely the vibe. Anyone out there enjoy any part of the first trimester? I loved sharing the news with our loved ones and that’s about it. Three words: COVID, fatigue, nausea.
Obsessed with our maternity photos by @eamphotokc 😍 She captured our little growing family so perfectly.
I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed in this girl, but I have had the privilege to walk alongside her as her coach and teacher through several disappointments in both of our lives (as well as several milestone moments). The thing about disappointments, though, is that there’s all a lot of love (and hugs) there too.
Big life changes… I’m a master and a mama now.
Doing something a little new on the blog here, except it’s not so new because it’s how my writing career started 10 years ago: reporting! It was an honor and privilege to write this piece on behalf of the @summithickorypitbbq family. This picture is a throwback to me working there over winter break my freshman year of college 🤗❤️
