[2018] APRIL

April was a lovely month in some of the most simple ways… the long winter finally ended, flowers began blooming, and a lot of it was just spent at home.

[2018] M A R C H

I’m having a hard time believing that a quarter of the year is already over! Time is going by so fast! I realize that I have yet to share about how plans have changed and my story is being rewritten and I apologize for that! Hopefully I will get around to that this month. For now an life “fly over” will have to be good for now! 

[2018] F E B R U A R Y

I'm a little bit late in getting this post out, but life has been good, crazy good and so much has been happening. Plans have been changed and my story is being rewritten in some ways and God has been so tremendously good! Here's a glimpse back at February, which began in Texas.

[2018] J A N U A R Y

current events >> DECEMBER

December started with a funeral for my grandma and then a trip down south with a second funeral and her burial. It wasn't exactly an ideal way to start a month, but I am reminded once again that even hard times have their beauty. While goodbyes are hard, it was a joy to celebrate her life and to rejoice that grandma is finally home. With all of that going on and the usual craziness of Christmas the month of December has flown by. Here's a little glimpse.

current events>> NOVEMBER

We were in New Mexico for a little less than half of the month, then we headed to Missouri for a week, and then home for Thanksgiving. It has been a busy month full of many emotions and different things going on.

current events >> OCTOBER

This past month has been spent out here in the west. My parents and I and a few other people from our church have been working at a church in New Mexico on various projects. I've worked with this church and some of the people in it for the past couple of years with BPS and it's always a joy to be out here and able to help with their ministry to reach the Navajo's. Things are going well and we'll start to wind down and head home in a few days. Thankful for friendships across the miles and like minded churches working towards the same goal!

current events >> SEPTEMBER

September went by the fastest out of all the months this year. I'd say it was because I was in the midst of a traveling season. Five trips all back to back in the span of about 2 months. I think my body is confused when it comes to knowing what time zone I'm in and I can assure that I am tired of unpacking and repacking right away, however I feel so blessed to be able to see so much and go so many places in just a short matter of time. This is something most people just dream about doing, so I am very grateful to be living this life! **I had this written up and ready to go at the beginning of October, but we've been on a missions trip working in New Mexico all month and I haven't had access to the internet. Sorry for the lateness.

current events >> AUGUST

I realize that we are now two weeks into the new month and I'm just now posting, but September is quickly rushing by. Normally I do most of my traveling in the summer and then stay at home for most of the fall, but this year is a little opposite. I stayed home most of the summer and now the fall seems like it's back to back trips!

current events >> JULY

If am not mistaken this was the first time I was home in the month of July in 5 years. It was a different kind of July, but good all the same. I must admit the end of July made me a little sad at the thought of summer coming to an end very quickly. Here's what went on this month...

Current Events >> JUNE

When I made plans for my 2017 June, 8 months ago, it was to be the month I was wed. Eight months, lots of tears, a book full of lessons learned, and boat loads of grace later, I can look back and say that I wouldn't have changed the way June 2017 turned out one bit. If you'd like to hear the story behind the last 8 months of my life, feel free to leave a comment, I'd be happy to share. Here's to a month of celebrating the beauty of shattered plans.

current events >> MAY

May is one of my favorite months for several reasons. It's when the peonies bloom, summer starts, adventures get into full swing it seems, + it's my birth month! The month went by so fast + I'm kinda shocked it already over! Hello June!

current events >> APRIL

I think April was the fastest month this year! I spent all but a week of this month in Texas with my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew. While I was down there I was able to participate in a missions trip, make some new memories, and step back from everything for a bit. I'm thankful for that time + for the things I learned while away. I hope April was month of growth for all of us, because each day should be!! Here's April in a nutshell, friends. Happy May!

current events >> FEBRUARY

Has February been strange for anyone else? This has seriously been one of the weirdest February's I've ever experienced. It was super busy, which is not your typical February and on top of that we had so many warm days- like t-shirt weather days.

It has been so crazy and I can't believe we're entering month three of a no longer "new" year!

current events >> JANUARY

Hello readers! It's been a long time since I've actually posted about things going on around here. I'll admit, I've neglected the blog a bit lately.


2017 has been a good year so far. It's not been easy, but wow. I've learned so much lately. Something new I wanted to bring to the blog this year is a monthly current event post. So welcome to a new thing! My plan is to recap my month and share a little with you all. It's always good to take time and reflect on your life and whether you have a blog or not, I challenge you to do it in your own life as well.


If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw the eleven part series of “how to enjoy a saturday” last Saturday on my story. Basically it was me posting 10 pretty overlooked things that are so often a part of our daily lives. To wrap up that story, pt. 11 was me stating that there's soooooo much beauty in the ordinary. Because there is. Seriously people. Take a minute, look up from your phone, tablet, computer, whatever and see how many beautiful gifts are around you. #lifeisbeautyfull


Before I sound like a broken record, let me move on to the current events.

life lately.

I'm still here though it looks like I've left this place for good! As you can tell from the pictures above, I've been enjoying this beautiful fall season, but there's so much more I've been up to! Let me catch you all up!

Summers coming to an end already. Where do I even start? I have so many pictures and things to share with you all. There's been so many good things going on over the past couple months. Let me catch you up a little bit.

life → UPDATE

Happy Spring, lovely readers! I hope you are enjoying the beginning of the spring season and making plans for the summer to come. Here is a glimpse of my life lately.

Here I sit on this cold snowy, January night wrapped in a blanket on my bed, wearing my pajamas, listening to soft piano music playing, watching the snow fall outside, and eating dark chocolate from my favorite, and I wonder about several things... I wonder what the rest of 2016 will be like and if it will be as fast as it's beginning has been. I wonder if I should even consider myself a blogger or if I should even have a blog seeing as how it's become tossed aside lately. But mainly I sit here and I wonder why I have life so good? Why I am so blessed? Why the very God of heaven bestows on me so many earthly goods and delights the heart of my soul over and over again? I may never be able to fully comprehend it, but this one thing I know, that my praise will continually be to my Maker for this masterpiece of a life He's given me. So friend, here's an update on my {abundantly blessed} life currently.
