I would like to share a journal entry from earlier this year. This was written a little less than a month after our 21 month old son was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. This was written after his brain surgery and during his first round of chemo. At the time he was not talking, walking, sitting up, eating orally, […]
The Day Before I Met My Husband
January 16, 2016 I had just turned 22. I was experiencing a newfound sweetness in my relationship with God. I was living life with my best friends – my mom and sisters. I was nannying for a great family. I was living in my favorite state, California. I was single with no option in sight. I was grieving the loss […]
Birth Story – Eliam Reign
Eliam arrived last month on July 15, 2018. My heart hurts with so much love for him. Unlike anything I have ever experienced before. People keep telling me to nap when he naps… but all I want to do is stare at him! How am I supposed to sleep when my perfect angel baby is the sweetest thing I’ve ever […]
How I Knew That Ethan Was “The One”
Starting at age 14, there were a couple things that I just wouldn’t miss–new hallmark movies, a quiet moment to read a novel, and opportunities to hear someone’s love story.

I’m talking baby fever & the secret to contentedness
For as long as I can remember, I have always had the strong desire to be a wife & mamma– more than desires, those roles are callings of mine. For years and years I had prayed for my “future husband” and so longed for the day that I would marry my best friend and begin our life together. Here I […]
How My Boldness Inspired Ethan’s Pursuit
I knew who I was & I knew I was worth being pursued. God called me loved, valuable, and beautiful. I knew it was only a matter of time until God would bring a man into my life who would lay down his life in pursuit of me. I believed this because I believed God to be faithful and good. […]
Is He My Future Husband?
Please don’t tell me that I am the only one who would walk into church or a coffee shop (or anywhere!) and immediately scan the room for a cutie – actually not just a cutie, but a future spouse. Cause let’s be honest, from 17 years old on I wasn’t looking for a nice guy friend. No, I wanted to […]
