Farewell, Hawaii. *Insert mental image of glistening tear rolling down cheek* </3 With Christian being selected for the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment, we have a PCS move on the horizon. As I sit here writing this, our apartment is in complete disarray: we have postal service boxes on the floor that we’ll use to mail […]
My wonderful friend Brittany Evans recently captured another chapter in our pregnancy journey with these maternity photos! As promised in my last post, I am sharing them here along with another quick update on pregnancy and life to fulfill my ever-present need to ramble. She also featured a few of her favorites on her own […]

We had a ton of great photos of my family, Christian and I from the Paradise Cove Luau , as well as from the Lanikai pillboxes hike we did – so I decided to just share them all in one blog post. My family has been doing all sorts of activities and hikes while they’re […]
