I met my husband ten years ago. He was a senior in high school... I was a senior in college. He was a conservative Christian and very active in his church youth group... I was a liberal atheist who avoided church like the plague. We were both dating other people when we met. We were… Continue reading The bigger picture. ❤️

Jesus changed my life forever… now I’m living every day for him.
Throwback Thursday…
I wrote this post one week before I applied for the job I have now. I had been thinking about applying all summer and this experience confirmed so strongly for me that this was where God wants me. If this wasn't enough, after I started, my now coworker told me she had been praying and… Continue reading Throwback Thursday…
Back to the real world.
Well, the first week of full-time work and full-time daycare are over. And... I kind of loved it way more than I expected. Some observations and things I didn't expect: 1) Spencer took to daycare like he's been going his whole life. Seriously, I expected major meltdowns, clinging to my legs, refusing to nap, and… Continue reading Back to the real world.
For better or worse.
I, Kristen, take you, Jordan, to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. A little over four years ago, I stood on a stage in a white lace dress, holding… Continue reading For better or worse.
Little things from the weekend.
Spencer had his first busted lip this weekend... he is a rumble tumble boy, through and through. He was running after a ball down the concrete driveway at his grandparents house and took a bad spill, right on his mouth. I wasn't there, but his poor dad had to deal with the aftermath. The rest… Continue reading Little things from the weekend.
Heat wave!
Ugh, record high temps this past week have kept us almost completely confined to staying inside. I'm more thankful than ever for air conditioning. Well, we had a pretty exciting and busy week, despite nearly melting. Last Sunday, we went to an event at the park put on by our church. They had free BBQ,… Continue reading Heat wave!
When I see this face.
Just a few portraits of my boy... getting him to sit still for pictures is getting harder and harder. 😜 I found it so interesting after Spencer was born how many people thought he looked like different people. Everyone had an opinion of who he looked JUST like. A lot of people thought he was… Continue reading When I see this face.
Childlike faith.
I spend the majority of my time with my child, who is not quite two years old. I work 18-20 hours a week, and the rest of that time, I am with Spencer. (And I love it). My point is... spending so much time with a little child has really changed my perspective on a… Continue reading Childlike faith.
Fearfully and wonderfully made.
When I was pregnant, I had an app on my phone that tracked my baby's development each week and had a little handprint to show how big the baby's hand was that week. I kept all my ultrasounds in my purse and stared at them, wishing I could just see him already. I remember reading… Continue reading Fearfully and wonderfully made.
Seek first the kingdom.
My first "real" job after college was working in a call center. We sat in rows of cubicles in pretty close proximity to each other. When one person in the row was sick, everyone in the row got sick. When one person had an angry caller, everyone within three rows knew about it. One of… Continue reading Seek first the kingdom.
