Sometimes it’s the simplest words that say it best, you know? I remember when Evan and I were preparing to get married, we agreed that we wanted to write our own vows. It’s no surprise to anyone that we’d do something like that. I had been writing letters to him for the two years leadingContinue reading “Quarantine Diary: Love Letters”

The Story of Us
The year I turned 18, I met the love of my life. Cheesy, I know. But it was for real. Terrified by how charming, witty, and attractive Evan was, I broke up with him the day after Valentine’s Day because I was a wimp. He wooed me again two months later, and the rest isContinue reading “The Story of Us”
Diary of a Wife: Greater Than Conflict
Before I got married, I didn’t handle conflict that well. I loved to keep everything on an even keel, and even pretend like it was when it wasn’t. I also didn’t handle confrontation very well.

I remember trying my very best to make it a picturesque, romantic, movie-quality moment, and IContinue reading “Diary of a Wife: Part Two”

It’s one of those “feel it in your bones” kind of things; a happening in life that changes every course forever, that alters our behavior, and can bring us intoContinue reading “Diary of a Wife”
1,112 Days
Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? Romans 11:35 Before Evan & I were married, we went through premarital counseling with a pastor. We were so in love at 20 years old, and we just wanted to be married. Honestly, we didn’t place a lot of thought into anything else. WeContinue reading “1,112 Days”
