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.

A Real Life Update

My entire website used to be more journal-like than it is today. I prefer the way I run this blog now. It has more of a structured purpose and it’s kind of like my safe-haven of mostly happy thoughts and pretty pictures. It’s my collection of marriage memories and some of my favorite things and hobbies. I love that about this place.

Sometimes my blogs are pretty minimal though and without many details. So today I would like to just free-write a little about what’s been going on in my world.

Let’s start with marriage and bunny parenting. Ah, marriage. Things are great. I just can’t believe that we’re already heading into November! Where is the time going? Sometimes I really feel like it’s just flying away and I don’t have time to do the things I want and need to do! I suppose work ties into that because I’m there a lot more now. Working on the blog isn’t always as easy and I feel like I’m choosing a lot between Nate, chores, and the blog. Don’t get me wrong- I like to clean and work on my house, but I spend most of my time not at work just trying to make sure things are organized and well, not disgusting. Ha! Trying to find time to run out and take pictures is difficult and that’s hard for me because this is something I really love. I think a lot of it boils down to time management and even though I feel like I’m doing better- I still don’t think that I’m using my time effectively. It can feel pretty frustrating. I just don’t feel like I’m keeping up. As far as bunnies go- they’re still cute as ever. However, they’ve definitely outgrown their cages and we don’t have the combined 8 hours a day to let each one play separately for 4 hours. We need to build both of them their own much larger cages. It’s one of those things we keep saying that we’re going to do but keep putting off. There’s a bunch of stuff on that list!

For those of you who have asked, my father in law is doing well with his chemo treatments and my cousin Garrett is still in a coma. These two things weigh on my heart daily. All I can do is pray for each situation, and I’d appreciate your prayers and thoughts as well. It’s just so tough not knowing the future sometimes.. most of the time I suppose.

In happier news, I’m hoping to be put into a new position at work soon. If It happens I really think I’ll feel so much better about my job. I just feel like I should be doing something computer related and this seems like something that would be fulfilling for me. Keeping my fingers crossed! Well, I think I will run upstairs and take a shower. It’s 4pm and I’m still hanging out in my pjs, even though I planned a very extensive list of chores to do today. (There’s that poor time management, again!) I sort of have an excuse though as my MacBook Pro needed desperate attention and cleaning of it’s HD. I could hardly do anything on it- no good!

    I'm so bad at managing my time as well! Lately, it's been extra hard because I have a few more things on my plate. It's difficult to juggle life at times!

    Good luck at this new position, I hope you get it 🙂

    I'm hoping to make my blog like a journal with a little flair. I love reading about other people's lives and I hope to make someone else's life a little easier as I get better.

    I recently took in a bunny and I love him! I let him roam around, the only problem we've had (besides the poop pebbles :|) is him chewing on my cords – as much as I try to keep them picked up.

    I actually think I'm pretty good at time management, but I still find myself torn three ways – actually, four ways, if you count the cat (which I do) – after work.

    Best of luck with the new job – I hope you get it!

    Thank you so much. And I am definitely doing as much as I can to make sure these people are punished. I'm living with their mistakes every day.
