YAAAAAWWWWWNNNN.

Max wakes up too early. He’s always doing stuff like he’s soooooo coooool. Whatever. I’m tired. Sometimes, sleeping makes me tired, so I sleep it off. I think I might love sleep more than food, but only when I’m not eating. Eating makes me sleepy, too, and I love sleep, so that just makes food even better!

In the spirit of celebrating our anniversary all week (just like we call every vacation we go on our honeymoon… suppose that will stop when we have children hahaaaa), here’s a blog post with a few of our favorite pictures from our wedding day (thanks to The Photography Smiths).

I had a plan for a different blog today, but this is too amazing of a story not to share.
There’s a lot of stuff to glean from this experience. A lot to realize and be thankful for.

Not too long ago, Kat and I had the opportunity to visit Holland. Easily the cleanest, freshest, and most efficient place we visited, it was my second favorite destination. We were able to bike all over the surrounding areas since we stayed outside the city. Biking into Amsterdam main was only about 20km, which sounds like a lot, but it isn’t.

Sometimes I have to go on travel for my other job. I always dislike it, because I really prefer being at home with my husband- crazy right? All of you men and women who deal with deployments? You all are very strong. 

Just a few snaps from our recent cruise to Costa Maya, Cozumel, and Grand Cayman. There’s one picture in here that just looks like a tree-lined trail, but there’s a Mark hiding in the picture. See if you can find him!

In case you didn’t know this, I like plants. In fact, I LOVE THEM. This love affair started when my best friend went off to college, and our other best friend decided that he needed something to distract himself from the sads. So he bought himself a plant, and I bought myself a plant in solidarity, and nothing has been the same since then.

So, I know, you’ve heard it everywhere by now- but 2017 is ending! I cannot believe how fast this year flew by. I hardly feel like I got anything accomplished, and I remember telling myself that 2017 would be MY YEAR, and I look back at it and I’m really wondering what exactly it is that I did.

Today, I’m giving a solid update on all the things Katherine and I are doing and have done.It’s the perfect week for a no picture blog, thanks to this little thing call Vacation Bible School.It’s my fifth or sixth year doing this, and I have a great time every year, though I sometimes miss being the […]

In Spain, there’s this thing every day called siesta. Shops close, people go home and eat some food, take a nap, everything kinda picks back up around 6 or 7. Above, you can see me taking on the behavior of a local. But, boy, when you aren’t sleeping, you are busy! We took our GoPro all over, which came in handy during the riot. I’d still have a Barcelona Riot Squad beat-stick if the Italian police hadn’t been such turdburglars. Shoulda mailed it earlier =/
