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).

My Valentines.
I'm a lucky woman to have not one, but two guys who have my whole heart (just in different ways, obviously). We went out to dinner for early Valentine's Day tonight, because I want to cook dinner and stay in on Tuesday. It was just a fun evening as a family, and some much needed… Continue reading My Valentines.
My wish(es) for you.
For you, my sweet son, I wish so many things. Here are just a few. 1) That you never, ever doubt our love for you or God's love for you.

If I knew then.
Today marks 31 years since I was born. I honestly am the happiest and most content I've ever been. I'm more fulfilled, more at peace, and more confident than I could have hoped. I wish I could rewind 10 years and tell 21-year-old Kristen how amazing things would be one day... because it hasn't always… Continue reading If I knew then.
A typical morning.
I'm going to miss these days when Spencer is older! I love our mornings together. When I hear him wake up, I go in his room and he's usually standing in his crib holding the railing. Some days he will be smiling and pointing at me, and some days he is just crying. I carry… Continue reading A typical morning.
