1,749 Days, 41,976 Hours, & 2,518,560 Minutes
Today is one of those days that we have waited on for years, but also a day that has brought me much happiness and grief over the past few years. Today is the day Chris and I got married, and what would be our third wedding anniversary. However today this date takes on a new…
Asah, Asih, Asuh – Part 1
There are times in life where you make a decision and have no idea how important or impactful it will end up being. Several months ago I decided to book a trip to Bali over the summer; not just any trip, but a restorative retreat to have a chance to connect more deeply with myself…
Arkansas Adventure
I sat down to look at my calendar a couple weeks ago, and was shocked to see how quick this summer would go. I realized that if I wanted to take a weekend trip with a friend, the only weekend I had available was the NEXT weekend! After that I had things scheduled with my…
Spring Break – Ski Sipapu
I felt absolutely blessed to be able to take my kiddos on their very first ski trip over spring break. I did my research and found a family friendly ski resort that would be ideal for our family and our lack of skiing experience. I decided that driving through the night and letting the kids…

This new year feels like more of a new beginning of sorts than other new years that I can recall. In reflecting, surviving the past year since Chris’s…
One Year; Grief, Growth, & God’s Goodness
It is exceptionally difficult to explain what we have experienced over the past year. The past year is a paradox in that it feels like it was just yesterday that Chris went to his heavenly home, but also feels like we have lived a lifetime in this past year as we have adjusted to the…
Half Crazy Running
I started running years ago and have competed in several half marathons, 10K’s, a Tough Mudder, and who knows how many 5K races. I started running as a way to challenge myself and to make sure I was taking care of my heart and my body. Throughout the years though, I have found that running…
Thankful Thanksgiving
I anticipated that Thanksgiving would be difficult, and to be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving was the last holiday I was able to spend with Chris, and the last time we were able to have a “normal” family function before his death. I went into Thanksgiving week with a plan to…
