Today we celebrate 11 years married, and lemme tell ya; this one is special. When we got married, we lived on a friend’s couch with one car and one job between us. We’ve been thru a lot of ups and downs, but this year the devil has really tested us. We’re still standing tho, with God in our corner and Christ at the center of it all, saving us and our marriage with His loving grace and provision.

I love you, Johnny. Here’s to continuing to push past the hard parts, leaning deeper into the things that really matter along the way. 🩵

Open six days a week and ALWAYS kid friendly!

We all start somewhere. It's the STARTING part that matters. Quit putting that s**t off and just get going!

You know where to find me. LFG!

I’ve been on a very refreshing social media break, and guess what: I survived just fine without doomscrolling for 2.5 months! Whodathunkit?!

Meanwhile I’ve surpassed my weight loss goal (down 20lbs since Easter and finally back to my happy place of 135lbs), let go of a multitude of high-stress commitments and side gigs, watched two kiddos graduate/promote, gone camping, moved the teenager out and converted her room, survived her first driving lesson, petted a million animals, cuddled my babies, and so much more.

I’m only back on social for business purposes, but at least wanted to drop a little update to let y’all know I’m still breathing. 🩵
