This past week, Zach and I, along with his parents, took a trip to the UK for his Cambridge graduation. It was the first time out of the country for my in-laws, and boy, did they get a crash course in trans-continental traveling! Zach and I were supposed to meet them in Atlanta where we… Continue reading Flight Delays & Fancy Dress

The Joy of Unplugging
Over Thanksgiving, Zach and I traveled to Alabama to spend time with our families for the holiday weekend. We stopped first with my grandparents in Northern Alabama before making our way further south to see the Vickerys. We had a wonderful time eating, laughing, and even running (I ran my first 5k after my aunt… Continue reading The Joy of Unplugging
A Girl Called Norman
"Tragedy has struck..." My stomach churned as I felt an odd sense of what those words might mean. There were no details in the Facebook post, but in my mind I immediately sensed at a gut level what had occurred. I hoped I was wrong and continued scrolling. This morning, I stumbled upon the post… Continue reading A Girl Called Norman

He’s halfway through buttoning his shirt or straightening his tie, even mid-way through brushing his teeth, and… Continue reading It’s Okay to Be Needy

We're going through the True Woman 201 group study, and I couldn't more highly recommend it!

Born two weeks early, she entered the world quickly, screaming, and with a head full of… Continue reading Bloom & Grow

This summer has been full of twists, turns, and lots of waiting. Waiting for the next step. For a better vision of the road ahead. For some sort of plan for the future. And let me tell you, I hate waiting. But after a summer of waiting, of maybes, of "well we think...", we finally… Continue reading Where are we going from here?
Walkin’ in Cambridge
I feel like most of my blogs, journal entries, and phone conversations often begin with the phrase, “It’s been a while.” I am not so great at keeping to structured habits, but I do at least try to fight against the opposing pulls of busy-ness and laziness that often keep me from my goals. It’s… Continue reading Walkin’ in Cambridge
