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...

Our Creator is not a Careless Mechanic

On Friday, November 2, Justin and I headed to our 41 week and 1 day checkup.  I had been having consistently inconsistent contractions for days, but.......Still.No.Baby.  My doctor wanted to monitor me and Via for half an hour and was looking for us to score 10 out of 10 points.  After half an hour of monitoring us she only found 6 points - also my blood pressure was much higher than it had been during the rest of my pregnancy.  Justin and I listened as she explained that the placenta may not be doing the best job for the baby anymore.  She looked at me and said, "If you were the type of mom that was planning to have an epidural, then I'd say let's go to the hospital, put you on pitocin, and have this baby."  She went on to say that since we favored a drug-free approach we had two options: 1.  Go to the hospital and be monitored for 24 hours to see if we could make up the 4 points we were missing.  If all looked good, then we could go ...

Sun Palace - July 2022

We are on our way home from our 6th Annual Away and it occurred to me that I take the fewest pictures on these trips. I don’t use or look at my phone very much because I like to unplug as much as possible and do “perfect day” activities. That means fewer pictures, but usually more enjoyment.  I think it’s a fun game to explore what would make up an individual’s perfect day. Once you have figured out what a perfect day looks like you can incorporate those types of moments and activities into more of your regular days. For example, my perfect day consists of going for a walk and seeing the beach. I can’t do a beach walk every day, but almost any day I can go for a regular walk and enjoy fresh air and a mental reset. I can create a “perfect day moment.” I have had a lot of perfect day moments the last 5 days and 4 nights at Sun Palace, but notably missing was time with my kids. Therefore, I can’t wait to get home! We arrived to Sun Palace on a Wednesday. Our good friends had been ther...
