It's been awhile since I posted anything. Keeping up with a blog was much easier when my son was barely toddling and I only worked 3 days a week. 🙃 I need to get something off my chest, though. It doesn't even have to do with parenting or with Spencer. It has to do with… Continue reading Distracted.

For better or worse.Â
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.Â
Childlike faith.

When one person had an angry caller, everyone within three rows knew about it. One of… Continue reading Seek first the kingdom.

I was walking to my car after church last Sunday and suddenly thought.. "I don't want to raise Spencer to be a Christian. I want to raise him to follow Jesus." I'm sure to some people, these are one and the same. They should be, and sometimes they are. Full disclosure: many times I struggle… Continue reading “Train up a child..”
This is real romance (to me).Â
J and I have never been super "romantic," at least not in the way the movies would have you believe. Our idea of a date night is eating out at a non-fast food place (like Golden Corral, ha) and watching Netflix the rest of the night. Or going to watch UFC fights, or taking Spencer… Continue reading This is real romance (to me).Â
