Stale. Boring. Monotonous. Marriage can become that way so easily, but that’s NOT how God designed relationships. Mason and I had an amazing start to our marriage with nearly a year of in-depth premarital counseling and an incredibly supportive community. And then we started living life. 😉 No, really. We went through some devastating experiences in […]
Mason and I have been in the trenches lately. Between our threenager who thinks she rules the world and our 3 month-old who is really just trying to get used to life outside the womb, we are taking things slow-one day at a time! Yesterday, Maddy was whining and being obstinate about not wanting to […]
*fair warning-I share a few birth details in here that you may not want to read-this is a birth story after all.* 😉 The next part is a bit of a blur. Was it ten minutes? thirty? I’m really not sure… but I do remember trying to go to the living room to help call […]
I look back, and I’m so thankful for the smallest of needs realized…like a loaf of bread that led to perfect timing. I remember sleeping through the night pretty well, and by this point you have to know that I was used to the contractions. I had been having these tightening sensations for months […]
[following my original “How Well Do You Know Me” post] If you know me well, you know that I am an artist to my core. Vibrant colors, texture, and beauty ignite my soul. Nature connects me to the Lord in such a dynamic way that words on a page can never parallel. Four winters were spent […]
I saw this wonderful video when I was bookmarking the 5 Love Languages site last week and I just had to share it because it is a wonderful picture of how responses in a relationship shift when we get it right! No matter how long you have been married, your spouse is a dynamic person. […]
“You know when you know.” she said, with a sure tone. “Yep.” I replied, while all three of us nodded our heads in agreement. … We were talking about our marriages, how we met our husbands. I remember that moment of “knowing” vividly. I couldn’t tell you the date on the calendar, but that morning […]
I have known Mason Conrad for 9 years now. *pardon me while I re-group from the speed of life hitting me* I still remember his first birthday after we had met. See, it was a momentous one as he was turning 21 and was a mere month into his Bible College career. I realize now, […]
I stumbled across this video recently and immediately Mason and I were caught in the flow of Brent‘s message. The imagery he uses is incredible and so full of truth. I was caught off-guard in the way he wove the words of truth-great artistry! His message isn’t just for husbands, but for any believer as […]
I believed for a long time that I would be married, and I also realized that God had given me several key relationships throughout my developmental years to prepare me for my husband. My older sister and a few best friends, not to mention my parents. Mason and I truly had a good foundation to […]
