When God smacks you in the face.
Wednesday, November 30, 2011
As I was sitting at the laundromat today waiting for our clothes to dry, flustered from a busy morning, I realized that I had missed one VERY important “to do” on my list. Time in the Word.
Nick and I arrived in Nashville last night after 3 weeks away (four for Nick). Our busy schedule is constant, and so it didn’t shock us that today would be...

Slater's 1st Birthday
Sunday, November 27, 2011
Yesterday Nick, Paul & Jenna and I drove down to San Diego for the day for Slater’s 1st birthday. For those of you who don’t know Slater… you’re missing out. He belongs to Jeff & Shannon. Jeff plays drums for Kutless and they are some of our dearest friends. The band becomes a second family, and so we love this sweet little boy like...
California Thanksgiving
Saturday, November 26, 2011
This year marks the start of our first holidays as a married couple. It’s going to definitely be hard for both of us in the coming years to be away from our families on Christmas or Thanksgiving, but we have the best of both worlds since we both have the most amazing families EVER. Trust me, we won big time!
This Thanksgiving we spent the week in Chino, CA with...
Thanksgiving outfit post:)
So apparently I’m thankful today for thrift shopping. I was inspired to do an outfit post from my successful day of thrifting last week. I also want to open everyone’s eyes to thrifting if you haven’t already tried. It’s one of those activities that people are incredibly discouraged or even grossed out by, but let me tell you, it’s worth the patience, and after one...
The Trenton Newell Collection
Monday, November 21, 2011
I know this is my second post in an hour, but I wanted this one to be separate from my Oregon trip post. I want to share with you a wonderful product that my sweet baby brother is developing, and has been for the past couple years.
First I’d like you to meet the artist Trenton Joseph Newell, or as he used to say when he was little Trenton “JOPHUS”...
Home sweet home
Monday, November 21, 2011
In the life of a traveling musician, there are downfalls and perks. One of those perks=frequent flyer miles:) We are starting off the holiday season the right way, with our family.
Our first stop was my hometown of Portland, OR. Lucky for us, Nick had two shows in the Northwest that I was able to attend, and it landed us right back in Portland for a week off. We had an...
Heart problems
Wednesday, November 16, 2011
This past week we have gotten to spend time with my family in Portland, Oregon and it has been such a privilege. Lots of laughing and lots of relaxing.
During all of the awesomeness however, I have started to see a flaw come out in me. It’s become much more evident in this setting, most likely because you are usually more of your true self around the people...
What's in your bread basket? Pt. 3
Monday, November 14th, 2011
It’s finally here!! My third hunk of bread is in the basket folks:) Today I had the honor of guest posting on Diane Comer’s blog for the women of Solid Rock (my church back home). Diane has been doing a series called “Love Stories” and I was able to share the story of how Nick won me over. More like how God won me over through Nick.
So...

Hiking in Nashville
Thursday, November 3, 2011
As I’ve shared before, Nick and I have limited supplies of quality time together. This week was no exception. We had Monday and Tuesday together before he left for the west coast leg of Winter Jam, and I decided that I wanted to get out and do an activity together. Since Nick won’t be back in Nashville until the first of December, I decided we should get...
Confessions of a jerk
I am a big fat judger. It’s been something I have struggled with for a long time and something I think I will battle continually. Probably because I am what we call a human. However, it’s definitely something in the past year that I’ve discovered a little more in depth. It’s ugly and I want to change it.
I have this tendency to look outward a ton. I have always been a...
