Life Update – 32 weeks pregnant!

Hi, hey, hello – remember me? Me, who said I’d be better at blogging for the remainder of my pregnancy? (Peeks at reader with guilty eyes through the gaps of fingers partially shielding my face from view). Yeah, hi. My bad. For whatever reason, I seem to love to sabotage my own writing goals. I’ve […]

Pregnancy Update – 21 weeks

I can’t believe I am already halfway through my pregnancy! That fact is crazy to me, because it means our baby girl will be here before we know it, and it means that in just the same amount of months that I’ve been pregnant (feels like a blink) our entire lives will change. I had […]

Beach photoshoot + 10 things

  One of my best friends on island, Brittany Evans, recently did this photoshoot with Christian and me! She is so incredibly talented and it can be such a blast and also super romantic (ew I know, sorry) to do a lovey dovey photoshoot occasionally; for no reason other than to create some cool images […]

Island Time

There are a few ways in which I will probably be forever altered by my time of living on an island during this fundamental and important stage in my young-adult life. And one of those core changes to my being will likely be my newfound ability to “just go with it” and observe island time: […]

Surviving military separations

I’m sitting in an airport as I type this – belly full with a warm chocolate croissant that I washed down with a hot chocolate, the theme for this trip back to Nebraska for the holidays being decadence, and “treat yo self” the mantra. Classic, distinctly airport-y Christmas music is playing over the loud speaker, […]

In Your Twenties

  I can still remember when I thought that phrase and life stage – one’s ‘twenties’ – felt light years away; like a true indication of adulthood. And now that I’m well and truly there, three years into my third decade, I’ve had that universal epiphany. You know – the one where it suddenly hits you […]
