April 13 always puts a big smile on our faces.  It’s the day we met, 12 years ago.  Often, it’s hard to nail down the beginning… the very first moments of something.  I can’t tell you the day we decided to open the business, or the day we decided to both go full time, or […]

I can’t make quick decisions at a drive-thru.  I am that person in line.  I have to see the menu and quickly make calculations to see what the best item is based on price, amount of food, number of calories, and how much I desire that item.  A few weeks ago I was at Starbucks and […]

Yesterday morning I was in the shower and Hazel opened the shower door to have a chat.  This happens pretty much every time I take a shower lately.  She’s definitely in that I’ll ask mom a million questions because I can’t breathe without her stage.  I locked the bathroom door while drying my hair and […]

Hazel has been begging us to visit family, which isn’t super easy since we’re 8 hours away, but we found some time last week to make it happen!  I love that even though she’s growing up so far away from family, she really understands and values it.  She loves her friends, but family is sacred to […]

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve shared a personal update, so we thought we’d let everyone know what exactly we’ve been up to in these slower months! Adoption Definitely the biggest things we’ve been up to is adopting our son.  We can’t share a picture just yet, but you can watch our video below […]

Raffle Closed: Thank you to everyone who participated (we raised $306!!) and congratulations to Amber Lane for winning the gift card! ————————– Last year as we were leaving our coaching session with Katelyn James, a package arrived at her house and I swear she let out a little shriek of excitement.  We were a bit […]

My kid turns 4 today. Correction: My oldest child turns 4 today. Last night I told her stories about the day she was born.  She loved it.  I appreciated it– I mean, she’ll only want to hear that story one or two more times before it becomes awful, right? We looked through pictures of her as a […]

Today we’re sharing a piece of our heart.  Last time we had a huge announcement, it was business related– Josh was going from part time to full time video ninja!  That was back in September and now we have more of a personal announcement to share.  It makes our hearts ache.  And flutter.  And probably […]

Once upon a time 19 friends went to Disney together… But only 17 of them made it to Disney because one nearly died and he and his wife had to stay behind in Virginia.  I’m not kidding– our friend’s dad went to the doctor on Saturday and found out his heart was 99% blocked.  Needless to say, […]

October 30th of last year, we got a call that one of our friends, Greg, had been struck by a Jeep going 45 mph.  He was in Florida at the time.  The outlook was very grim, and immediately our friends from church jumped into action.  Josh and our friend Michael stepped in to organize donations […]
