Living apart from your husband for a year can be hard, especially when there's a big time difference. We miss a lot of things about being together, but especially those little things. Things like watching TV together while cuddling on the couch. While Travis is on the other side of the world, we decided to start a new TV series together. We can both watch them on our own, but stay on the same pace with each other. That way we can talk about the episodes whenever we talk, or leave each other messages about the episode to see when we wake up. It's something we can do "together" while we're Continue Reading
Thankful Thursday 0918
How's your week been so far? Are you struggling? Counting down the hours until the weekend?

Sunshine Part 2
My plan was to keep up with the Sunshine Series every week. It's not a good sign if I've gotten behind already! Oh well, here's a list of all the ways I've seen sunshine since the last time I posted: One night I went over to my cousins house and the three of us laid on top of the roof -- star gazing, drinking hot chocolate, chatting and laughing a lot. It was such a great night. We even saw six shooting stars. Even though it was night, I saw more sunshine during this moment than I have all month — definitely an unforgettable memory. I had a date night with my mom one evening. We went to Continue Reading
