If you follow me on Instagram, you may recall a few weeks ago that I shared an album I had been working on for me and Ryan. Every year I make sure to get photographs taken of Ryan and me. It’s something that’s very important to me because someday I want our kids to be …
Another Year Older Older
Well it seems that today I find myself another year older. I’m not one of those people who gets overly excited about my birthday, nor do I dread the change in numbers as I age. I think part of the reason I don’t get excited about my birthday is that I do not like being …
A Sign…
I have been thinking a lot lately…. I shouldn’t say that. I think a lot all the time… probably too much really. The more accurate explanation is that I was thinking a lot about one particular topic lately. If you’ve been reading my journal for a while now, you may recall my post about our …

Beautiful Moments

He Is A Gem | Our 6th Anniversary
I was sitting here today. Thinking of a great many things. Looking through old writings for wisdom and insight, when I came across one that wasn’t mine. It was something my husband had written.
