Here's what I've been up to currently ... Thinking about: How grown up we all are. By we, I mean my friends and me. My best friend from high school just got married over the weekend. I was her matron of honor, and the wedding was beautiful and special and everything I would hope for her. It's so crazy, though, that we are both married now. There were lots of emotional moments throughout the weekend. I'm just so very thankful that we've stayed close even after all these years. And I'm so happy that she's found such a great guy. Now that I've found such a wonderful man and have experienced Continue Reading
The Guy Behind the Blog: Episode 1
I've been seeing other bloggers get involved in this series called The Guys Behind the Blog created by Betsy at Heavens to Betsy. This monthly series gives the guy behind the blog a chance to answer five questions so we all can get to know them better. I decided I wanted to join in on this series, which is also a monthly link-up, for two reasons. First, my husband Travis is so supportive of this blog it's a little ridiculous. He is always encouraging me to keep going and keep improving it. I think he believes in this space more than me at times. Second, this will be a great way to get Continue Reading
Thankful Thursday 05.28.15
It has been four months since I've posted a Thankful Thursday post! That's a long time, so I wanted to share with you five things I'm thankful for this week. 1. For Greg and my other furry friends. God has been surprising me with all sorts of love notes lately, and some of those love notes consist of his living creatures coming to visit. Now that I've settled into this old farm house, the animals in my yard have gotten used to me, which means I see them more and more. I now have a pet groundhog named Greg and two bunnies named Bonnie and Clyde. I love spotting them! 2. For walks and the Continue Reading

We're not in Kansas Indiana anymore... Did ya'll know I'm currently in the Republic of Korea right now? Yes, I am. So I thought it was time for a Currently post! There are a few affiliate links in here. View my disclosure policy here. Thinking about: How unreal it is that I'm here. On the other side of the world. In a country where I don't recognize a single letter, let alone word. I just keep wondering when it's going to sink in, when it won't feel so surreal. And then I think about how grateful I am for the opportunity to visit my husband, and how I'm so glad this isn't a Continue Reading

Lots of changes have been happening. So it's time for a Currently post, where I let you know what I'm up to currently! Thinking about: Why in the world did I move to Indiana? I hate winter. I don't like cold or snow, and that's all we've had since I arrived here. Freezing temperatures, snow galore, getting my car stuck several times, having a sore throat, having dry skin -- what did I sign up for? I got spoiled in Georgia, and now I really miss those warm temps and bright sun rays. But in all reality, I am really glad to be close to family again. And the snow is pretty. Sorta. Reading: I'm Continue Reading

Things have gotten crazy around here so I wanted to let ya'll know what's been going on currently... Thinking about: How I just want to get this move over with, and yet I want every single second with my husband to slow down. Very conflicting feelings going on over here! I'm wanting to cherish and savor every moment with my husband since I know my time with him is short and soon we'll be saying goodbye at the airport. But at the same time, my house looks like it got tossed in a tornado and we're running out of food. I'm just ready to get this show on the road -- for the movers to come so we Continue Reading
Thankful Thursday 0122
I haven't wrote a Thankful Thursday post since September! But just because I wasn't writing a post about it, doesn't mean I haven't been thankful. There have been tons of things to be thankful for. We have really been in a season of joy. Seasons change though. I do feel like we are transitioning into a new season. It doesn't mean we can't be joyful in this new season, but it's going to be different. I feel like it may be more challenging. That means it's even more important to see the sunshine, remember your blessings, write down what you are thankful for, and be grateful for the little Continue Reading

This post contains affiliate links. See my full disclosure policy here. I figured it's time for a Currently post since I haven't wrote one in about two months! Here’s what I’m up to currently… Thinking about: How much we have to do, all the things we need to do, what I want to pack up, what I want the Army to pack up, what Travis needs to take to Korea, and what he should take in his suitcase instead of having it shipped. I'm wondering what vaccines I'll need to get to go visit and hoping that the answer is none. I'm thinking about how long the flight to South Korea is. I'm thinking a lot Continue Reading
Currently {Vol. 8}
It's been about a month since I've wrote a Currently post, so I think it's time. Especially since you haven't heard from me in over a week. Remember how I said my husband and I were going "unplugged" and wouldn't be using our phones or internet for a week? Well, that was because we were going on a vacation! We weren't using the internet because we were out in the middle of the ocean on a cruise ship! I'll write a separate post recapping our trip soon! And just so you don't miss it, I have a giveaway coming Friday! So be sure to stop by and enter! (This post includes affiliate links. Continue Reading

Here's what I've been up to currently ... Thinking about: ALLUME. As you are reading this, I'm on my way to a Christian blogger conference called Allume in South Carolina. I am so excited to learn and grow as a blogger, as well as meet other bloggers and make friends. Since I'm writing this a couple days before I leave, I'm thinking about what to bring, what to wear, what to pack, how to get there, where I'll park, who I'll meet, what I'll learn, ... a ton of stuff. There are a few nerves, but for the most part I'm so excited that I get this opportunity and I can't wait to see what God has in Continue Reading
Currently {Vol. 6}
I haven't wrote a Currently post in a bit, so here it goes! Here's what I've been up to currently ... Thinking about: How God provides. And speaks. How He takes care of us. I'm the type of person who loves having control, who needs it. I hate situations where I don't know what to expect because it means I have absolutely no control. I get scared of the what ifs and the unknowns. Uncertainty is not my friend. And I feel like there's a quite a bit of uncertainty in my life right now. But God loves me and takes care of me. He's got this in His hands. My whole future, all the what Continue Reading
Thankful Thursday 0918
How's your week been so far? Are you struggling? Counting down the hours until the weekend? Just remember to look for the sunshine, count your blessings, and remind yourself all you have to be thankful for. That's what I'm doing today! Here are five things I'm thankful for this week. 1. For family and friendships that can handle distance and time. Last weekend I visited family that I haven't seen in years and I talked to some friends who hadn't talked to in months. Isn't it nice when you have those people that you don't need to talk to every single day or week to stay close to. The people Continue Reading
