Hi everyone! Welcome back to a regular post! If you've been following my stories on Facebook or Instagram, you'll know that roughly every week, I've been checking in and asking if you have any questions for me about anything related to my life or blog or whatever it may be or if you have any prayer requests—I seriously do love to know[...]
You guys, I could cry. I hate to start another post out with "ya I'm actually not dead just inexcusably BUSY" but almost a year later, here we are again. I would say a lot has happened, and for me it has, but mostly it's just college being college in that I really don't know what free time is anymore. No but in all seriousness, most of t[...]
I would like to begin this post by thanking each and every one of you who thought of me and prayed for me before/during/after my surgery, it truly meant so much to me and my family! I'm also excited to finally be blogging again so that I can give all glory to God in saying that this surgery and recovery did go much better than I expected[...]
As I write this, the sun is finally shining through my house, casting light off the solid dusting of snow we’ve had for this month. I’m already dreaming of warm days, and all this sunshine teases me into thinking we’re already there… With that said, it’s hard to believe the first month of the year is already over with! I mention[...]
It’s crazy to think that one of the most lovable members of my family has been neglected on this blog for so long, as my last post recapping his life was in 2015 here! I really believe he has been a blessing from God for all of us, our sweet labrador, Willy. The years have brought with it lots of retrieved geese as he is a hunting dog,[...]
I’ve noticed another trend, looking back on the various goals I’ve set for myself over the years. I’ve always been one to have big aspirations, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but I’ve also noticed how year after year, some of the things keep getting listed over and over as my goals. Maybe you can relate? It’s certainly n[...]
2019 was a pivotal year for me. I think it was one of my better ones, not that it was always easy, of course, but I thank God for providing me with so much this year. His blessings come in all sorts of ways and are not always in the likeliest of places or where you’d expect to see His work. I’m actually really excited to recap this ye[...]
My family took their annual trip up to Canada where they would be fishing for a whole week, and this city-loving-girly-girl took a pass on that last year and did so again this year. I did spend the two years before that going on the trip with them, and while I highly enjoyed the experience of seeing another country and the outdoors in tha[...]
A little over a week ago, I got to attend my cousin Kirsten’s graduation ceremony at the University of Iowa, and I have to say, the entire day we spent with her and family was amazing. So amazing that I felt the need to write all of it down that I could possibly remember in my journal, and now my nails hurt from clenching my pen so much[...]
