Happy 2020, sweet friends! It’s hard to believe that this year is here. B + I were just talking about how we don’t feel like 40ish year olds, yet here we are – hahaha… We enjoyed an amazing two-week Christmas break together + now we’re all back to the grind. It’s been a little bit of a struggle[…]

Happy September, friends! We are smack dab in the middle of marching/pep band, soccer, cross country, and cheerleading. We knew it would be crazy busy, but I don’t think we took into account how far the girls would be traveling for away competitions/games/meets, etc. Please pray for them as they travel and pray that we would prioritize[…]

Thank you for praying for[…]
