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”
When God Says Yes
Over the weekend, Evan and I got to celebrate our five year anniversary. It turned out to be a pretty magical weekend of solitude, just us, taking a trip and spending time together without our boys.

I thought I’d compileContinue reading “4 Ways to Love Better”
Diary of a Wife: Part Two
It was a warm summer night in July when Evan told me he loved me for the first time. I remember staring into his eyes, knowing that I had loved him for weeks, maybe even months before that moment. I remember trying my very best to make it a picturesque, romantic, movie-quality moment, and IContinue reading “Diary of a Wife: Part Two”
Pep Talks
Before Evan & I got married, we took part in some pre-marital counseling with a pastor. It was an awesome experience (of what I can remember. These days, I hardly remember anything from the day before.), and I still think about the things we discussed back then. We took a personality assessment of sorts, andContinue reading “Pep Talks”
