Catch Parts I and II here and here... The summer flew by and before I knew it I was a college student. I had to make my decision - to date Whit or not to date him? Even though I liked him, I felt like the Lord was leading me in a different direction. The … Continue reading Our Love Story (Part III)

On the Baby Stage and Feeling Left Out
One challenge with being in your twenties is that this stage of life often feels like a checklist. You date, get married, have kids, buy a house. Whenever you aren't doing those things, or aren't doing them at the same time as your friends, it's easy to feel left out. Here's my experience... Whit and … Continue reading On the Baby Stage and Feeling Left Out
Our Love Story (Part II)
Catch Part I here... Finally the seniors graduated and went off to college, leaving my group of girlfriends without many older guys to pine for. Whit and his friends would come back from college every few months and would spend hours sharing the most unbelievably ridiculous stories from college. I liked him so much, and … Continue reading Our Love Story (Part II)
10 Years Ago – Our Love Story (Part I)
I've seen a few other people share their love stories lately, so I figured I'd do the same... Ten years ago on Valentine's Day 2007, Whit and I started dating, "officially," as boyfriend and girlfriend. But of course our story started well before that... When I was in eighth grade, my family decided to switch … Continue reading 10 Years Ago – Our Love Story (Part I)
How to Talk about a Secret
There's something I haven't talked about in this space, or even with all my close friends, yet. At the end of last year, I was pregnant, and then had a miscarriage. I am a mom. I knew about my pregnancy for two weeks, which 100% overlapped our travels over Christmas break this past year. On January 1 I … Continue reading How to Talk about a Secret
Five Years
Whit and I have been married for five years. That seems so crazy to me! That's such a good chunk of time. It seems short, when thinking about all the people who have been married for 10, 20, 30 years. But when we celebrated our second anniversary I felt so much older and more experienced … Continue reading Five Years
Miscommunications in the Spirits Section
Was something off with the rest of the world tonight, or was it just us? Before we made it a tenth of a mile from our office, Whit pulled into the Giant parking lot and announced that (I wasn't just returning my Redbox; he was parking and) he was going to buy some wine. Ooh … Continue reading Miscommunications in the Spirits Section
A Date
It feels like it's been forever since Whit and I went on a legitimate, nice date. Usually when we want to spend time together we'll veg in front of the TV with Domino's, go out to Buffalo Wild Wings (his favorite) or On the Border (my favorite), or play Super Mario Brothers Wii together. We … Continue reading A Date
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine's Day! Today is my and Whit's EIGHTH anniversary of being together! How crazy is that?! We started dating on February 14, 2007. We had been hanging out all year already, since winter break when we spent a lot of time together at RADIATE and then the Passion conference. We are weird and had … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day!
FOUR
Today, Whit and I have been married for FOUR years!! I've kind of been itching to get to this anniversary... it feels like it's been a long time coming.
