All of these big, life-changing events have brought us closer [...]

First, happy Anniversary also to Bethany and Anne, who also have July weddings!
Secondly, you might have wondered about the little fern “logo” I used for all of my posts all week. This was the motif for my wedding and was on my invitations. I thought I’d share some photos of my wedding with you. I [...]

New Attitude 2004. I almost didn’t go, but am so thankful I did. The theme was relationships, it came at a perfect time. God worked through the messages during New Attitude to give me hope. Josh and I grew closer and closer in the few days we were there. I saw finally that although sin [...]

One day, while having lunch with our singles’ pastor, Jimmy, Josh shared that he really felt like his wife wasn’t at Chesapeake. Jimmy asked if he’d ever considered [...]

I never wanted to get married. I liked the idea of marriage, but not the reality I saw around me. Raising kids was the last thing I was interested in doing. My earliest thoughts of being grown up included going to college, writing, and mission work. As I grew older, I feared living a mundane, [...]

This week, I’ll be sharing my courtship story and the lessons I learned. How I went from a content single girl [...]

On this day, three years ago, Josh and I started “courting.” I read this poem a few weeks ago and think it aptly describes our relationship. It’s such a beautiful poem, I had to share it. I’m a big e. e. cummings fan, and any of you who are familiar with his work know that, [...]

We went to Prince Edward Island (PEI) for our honeymoon almost a year ago. Where we were going was a complete surprise to me. I trusted Josh to pick the spot and arrange everything. This typically would have been very hard for my type-A self to do, but considering I was barely able to get [...]
