I told myself that 2026 would be the year I would I told myself that 2026 would be the year I would get ‘me’ back and I suppose I have been on a mission! ❤️‍🔥

I’ve had this Anberlin tattoo floating around in my brain for yearsss. Finally talked through it with a friend, shared my ideas with @alexandratattoo , and she made them all come to ✨LIFE!✨ Had the best time enjoying several hours of girl talk, good music, and tattoo therapy with her - truly it is therapy and she is the best of the best!!!

I’m not sure I could ever put into words what Anberlin’s music has meant to me over the years. If you feel that way about music in any capacity - you get it. It’s definitely one of those ‘if you know, you know’ things. My Dad was a musician and he certainly passed that feeling down to me. Love that I carry that with me! 

And now I get to carry pieces of my favorite band with me. 🖤🎶
Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohe Happy birthday to my SEVEN year old tiny bebe Cohen! He rolled his eyes at me when I said it’s crazy that he went from 6…to 7! If you know you know. 

Cohen is so sweet, kind, helpful, and smart. He loves building hot wheels tracks, setting up play areas for his little brothers, swimming, NASCAR, baseball, and never sitting still or being quiet… ever. 😆 

I’m so thankful God chose me to be his mom! I love you Cohen!! Happy birthday!!
It was a hot one at Bristol today but we had fun! It was a hot one at Bristol today but we had fun! 🏁

I have the MOST FUN any time I’m in front of Michelle’s camera. She is so fun to hang out with and it ends up being the best girl time + hair and makeup! Y’all know I have 4 kids and I work from home.. I don’t get to feel fancy very often! If you like laughing until your cheeks hurt (your face cheeks) and feeling 🔥 - book a shoot with her! 10/10 highly recommend.

365 Days of Marriage · February 16, 2011

Oh Me Oh My

This week has been less than satisfactory. Work and stress have been two key factors. Valentine’s Day sort of just got pushed to the side and trampled by those two pesky annoyances. And so did my 365 posts or any other type of blogging for that matter. Whoops!

I want to be honest here and say that I think Nate and I realize that we are in need of some “focus on us” time. We’ll be really 100% in tune with each other for months and months and then we’ll hit a little patch (a few days) where we just seem to bicker about silly things or not really “get” the other one. I think most marriages/relationships endure these types of little bumps because we’re all human and it’s normal. But I think a lot of people who do 365s and things like this where they document “their lives” fail to mention the times that things aren’t absolutely perfect and I don’t want to be like that. I want it to be real- this is us. I don’t think it’s shameful at all to admit that and I never will. =)

    Oh yeah, B & I definitely have those spots, too. Sometimes I'll notice after like a week that we've barely kissed/touched/talked! And when I think back on that week, I'll realize we fought a lot more, too. Eventually one of us will bring it up & we'll work it out. As long as you recognize it as normal & you kinda just go with the flow, it's just a part of marriage that we all experience. I think it's kinda sad that some Projects 365 never show the downtime because it's definitely there. I think this project will help you guys have a common bond/goal even through the downtime though, and that's great!

    The toasting picture is my fav.

    I've been missing your posts (though completely understand that you have a life and were busy) – the pictures bring a smile to my face… almost like something my fiance and I can do next year. A hope for the future.

    I agree with the bumpy patches and being out of tune. I just take everything in stride. Usually its me doing all of the bickering & picking at him (poor guy) but eventually I realize that its stupid and drop it. Why spend time bickering when you can spend time in love?
