It’s time for my Currently series, where I share with you what I’m currently up to. This post is linked up to A Mama Collective where everyone is sharing what they are up to too! Here's what I've been up to currently ... Thinking about: How blessed Travis and I are to be able to travel so often. We were able to head home last weekend to Indiana for a wedding. It was perfect timing because Travis hasn't seen his family since Christmas. He was able to visit them for a couple days. My cousin's wedding was beautiful, and it was great getting to spend time with Travis' family. We also finally Continue Reading

Here's what I've been up to currently ... Thinking about: How happy I am my husband is home and how I never want to spend a month apart from him ever again! Reading: I just finished the book "The Scarlet Thread" by Francine Rivers. Since I've read all of Karen Kingsbury's novels, I decided it's time to read all of Francine Rivers' novels.

Thankful Thursday 0821
I always have so much to be thankful for. Really, we all do. Even if you can think of nothing else, you can be thankful for God's love, mercy, and grace and salvation from Jesus Christ. Yep. Even on the worst of the worst of days there is still sunshine. Still reasons to be grateful. Here are five things I'm thankful for today: 1. For prayer warriors. The few nights I'm having to spend alone without Travis can be scary and lonely and just downright full of tears. But I have a few people (and maybe more than I realize) praying for me until his return. I know God hears those prayers as He Continue Reading

Welcome to my newest series — Currently, where I share with you what I’m currently up to. This post is linked up to A Mama Collective where everyone is sharing what they are up to! Here's what I've been up to currently ... Thinking about: How much I loved my wedding and wish I could do it all over again! Last week I went to my sister-in-law's wedding. I spent a few days helping with decorations -- see what I did to that table there? I also got to go to the rehearsal dinner and helped a lot during the actual wedding. I was so glad I had the opportunity to help out and see them get married. Continue Reading

Welcome to my newest series -- Currently, where I share with you what I'm currently up to. This post is linked up to A Mama Collective where everyone is sharing what they are up to! Here's what I've been up to currently... Thinking about: How glad I am to have my "in-law-family." Travis' family is so much like my own, and I'm so grateful that I am blessed with in-laws that I love and get along with. I've been thinking lately about how easily I could not be close to them just because we don't get to see them much. But instead, I feel like I've been intentional about staying close to them.

Thankful Thursday 0617
Good morning friends! (or afternoon or evening - whenever you are reading this!) How has your week been? Stressful? Crazy? Overwhelming? If any of those are true, and even if they aren't ... we should be spending time in thankfulness -- being grateful for all our blessings. Have you been seeing the sunshine this week? It's all around. God leaves little love notes for us all the time. It's just a matter of opening our eyes (and our hearts) to see them. Here's what I'm thankful for this Thursday: 1. I am thankful for my possessions. I know - "What? She didn't say her family or God Continue Reading

Currently -- a new post series I'm starting where I share what I'm currently up to. A Mama Collective started this "currently" idea and hosts a link up so everyone can share their currently posts. I found out about it when Bree started sharing what she's currently up to. I loved reading her posts, so I decided I wanted to join in! Here's what I've been up to currently... Thinking about: How incredibly scary that new water slide in Missouri looks. Have you seen this thing? It's higher than the statue of liberty people! And did I mention my husband wants to go on it? What a nut! Reading: I Continue Reading
Thankful Thursday 0522
Here are the top five things I'm thankful for this Thursday. 1. That my Travis is home from the field. I know it's only been a week, but I missed that guy. He's my best friend and I'm so happy to get to tell him all the little things again. 2. For Skype. I was able to chat with my cousin Bree for a few hours while I was home alone. It was such a nice break from talking to myself all day! I don't know that I could live so far from my family without all the technology we have today. 3. That God wants to hear our questions and concerns. I feel like I have been questioning a lot lately, Continue Reading
