Dear Baby O, Your dad and I spent last week working on your nursery (and a ton of other projects). Your room needs more work than probably any other in this old house and it’s still not yet ready for … Continue reading
I knew from the beginning that we had to make a photobooth happen at our wedding. Our friends are hilarious and we knew they’d ham it up in front of a camera. Our DIY photobooth was a really cheap addition … Continue reading
From the Vernors Float receiving line to the grand exit on our vintage tandem bike, we wanted our reception to celebrate life, love and Detroit. This great party included a gourmet picnic (with a PB&J bar for the kids), lawn games, a … Continue reading
Josh and I put a lot of time and thought into how our wedding day would reflect our love for Christ, each other and people. We wanted the vows we spoke to each other to be from our hearts and … Continue reading
Life is flying by at a rapid pace and I suspect it’s about to pick up. Josh writes in a journal app once in a while, but I’m not really keeping a record of our lives except on my photostream. … Continue reading
Dear Baby O, It’s been over 5 months since we learned about you, and we now have 4 months until we’re holding you. That seems absolutely crazy to me. I already love your personality. You move around a lot. Not … Continue reading

We’ve been living in our Detroit home for a little over two months now and I’m going to great lengths to get some pictures to all y’all who have been patiently asking for that amount of time. It’s no easy task … Continue reading
Since I still haven’t finished unpacking (down to the half-opened boxes filled with stuff we don’t need) and I have to re-write all my wedding thank-you’s (long story- sorry you don’t have yours yet), I’ve decided not to send out … Continue reading
I have a lot on my mind. Since I’ve always loved reading Abby’s random thoughts, I thought I’d give it a try. Hers are definitely funnier. Probably because she studied communications and I studied bulletin board techniques. Oh, I mean children. … Continue reading
I’m not sure if I was more excited for the wedding day or the surprise honeymoon. And still, it’s a toss-up. We had an amazing party, filled with great people. And then, I did what every bride should do–I let … Continue reading
I’m convinced Josh and I are the same kind of crazy. We adore walking and biking the 2nd most dangerous city in America. We willingly obey the Detroit code that red lights are a suggestion to pause, that you never leave your … Continue reading
Josh and I have been married for a month now. It’s been pretty blissful. Especially the honeymoon. Which I have yet to tell you about because I need to edit a bajillion photos and then pick only a few for … Continue reading
If you read this post, then you know how excited Josh and I were to have the kids I’ve been mentoring be our flower girl and ring bearers. I stated in that post, “If nothing goes according to plan on … Continue reading
