LIFE LATELY: SUMMER RECAP!

Hello friends!  I've missed you and am ready to be regularly sharing blog posts here with you again!  I'll share some home related posts next week, but before jumping back in I thought I'd catch you all up on what's been going on in our family lately with a little Summer recap.  It was a busy one!   I actually need to back way up to late Spring for news from these two that I haven't shared here yet- They up and moved away to Northwest Arkansas!  They're (semi) newlyweds , young, and were ready for a new adventure.  They are both nurses and got new jobs lickety split, Caleb is an ER nurse and Kenzi is a children's PACU (post anesthesia) nurse.  The first pic here is on their first day of their new jobs.  They stayed in an AirBnB for a time there while they looked for a house, and came back and forth to OKC for a bit in between their shifts while they wrapped up some commitments here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2024

From our family to you and yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and the happiest holiday season!  I'm so grateful for each of you and the role you play in our lives by reading my blog posts, following along on social media, and being so encouraging and supportive of what is shared.  You all are gems!

CALEB AND KENZI'S WEDDING PHOTOS

We can hardly believe that one year ago today Caleb and Kenzi got married- Happy Anniversary to them!  It has flown by and been full of so many fun new firsts for our family.   We could not be more proud of these two and how they have navigated their first year of marriage!   I haven't shared Caleb and Kenzi's wedding photos from the big day here on the blog yet, so I thought today would be the perfect opportunity to do that.   Out of 1200+ professional photos plus what we have on our phones, it's almost impossible to narrow down a selection to share with you.  I have so many favorites!  I told myself I was not going to load up more than 20 so I wouldn't overwhelm you, but I just couldn't do it and decided to post as many as I wanted to... so scroll on by if you get photo fatigue! 😂 It was the sweetest day!  We had a short rehearsal early to start the day off.  Everything was planned so well and it was nice to just relax through th......
