Welp! I guess it's been about 4 years since my last post.  Only about million things have changed.  Silas just turned four.  We moved to Texas.  We moved to California.  Life is simply wild.

So, at the time of my last post Justin was launching Corner Church Camden and I was a bout to start a new sales position with FedEx.

At the end of 2017 Justin stepped down from Corner Church (maybe a post about that sometime).

After he stepped down we felt the freedom for me to really go for some career goals which would also move us away from the frigid north.

Much of 2018 I spent pursuing Leadership opportunities within FedEx, and at the end of 2018 we moved to Fort Worth, Texas for an 18 month time-in-position commitment as a manger in Inside Sales.  

Fast Forward 18 months to May 2020 and an opportunity for promotion to field sales manager came up in Northern California.  We had really wanted to move to SoCal, but found NorCal fairly appealing as well when we started to research the area.  I went for it, I got the job, and we moved across country during a global pandemic.

I'm writing right now for who knows what reason.  I have some things and ideas on my heart and in my mind.  For now, typing up these few short paragraphs are a start in maybe getting that "something" off the ground.  

Peace, ya'll.  Be kind to yourself.  Be kind to others.

Moon Palace Cancun Nizuc - 5 Things I LOVED, and 3 Things I didn't

All-Inclusive vacations may not be everyone's cup of tea, but over the past 6 years I have developed an appreciation (addiction) for taking a vacation where I don't really have to think much.  Between the demands of marriage, parenting, career, housework, and kids activities, it is really nice to pay a sum of money for your vacation and then just......enjoy!  Many all-inclusive resorts include more than just food and beverage.  There is often entertainment, activities, childcare, fitness classes, and plenty to keep you busy without leaving the property or spending additional money.  If you like, you can also book excursions or explore the local area at an extra expense.  We have rarely opted to do anything extra as we are typically happy to take advantage of the included options.   Listen, in my experience, you get what you pay for with, well, almost everything.  And that goes for all-inclusive resorts.  We have gone low-end, mid-range, and h...

Uncle Ryan

This time of year always makes me pretty emotional.  Almost six years ago we unexpectedly lost my brother, Ryan.  Now, all these years later, I still tend to flashback to what life was like right before he passed.  He and I were both students at Century College, and we would always get dinner together on Monday nights because I had a break between my afternoon and evening classes.  Having always gone to a small Christian school, it was so nice to have my big brother show me the ropes.  I always remember Ryan, but this time of year is a different kind of remembering, and it's always something specific that sets off the season.  This morning it happened in church when we sang "Blessed Be Your Name."  I immediately flashed back to Ryan's funeral which of course brought the tears on in no time.  "Wow," I thought, "I can't believe it's already that time of year again."  It didn't take long for me to begin processing the idea that my little V...

The Grand at Moon Palace - Family Vacation Summer 2022

Ever since the summer of 2017 my husband and I have taken some “adult-only” vacation time away each year. It started with a trip to Italy in celebration of our 10-year wedding anniversary. Then, in 2018, we began taking these “Annual Aways” at all-inclusive resorts. We first stayed at Ocean Maya Royale in 2018, then Único 2087 in 2019, followed by Atelier Playa Mujeres in 2020, and then Le Blanc Los Cabos in 2021. For the three most recent trips we had the good fortune of vacationing with some of our dear friends from Minnesota. It’s such a treat to take these trips with people we love.  During our Le Blanc Los Cabos trip in 2021 Justin and I started talking about how fun it would be to take the kids to an all-inclusive resort and maybe even my parents to thank them for diligently watching our kiddos each time so Justin and I can get away. When we were leaving Le Blanc they offered us a pretty great vacation package at any of their Palace Resorts. We bought two packages on the spot...
