From Iowa to NJ

A couple weeks ago, my cousin came into town for a funeral. She was able to stop by for a couple of hours and visit! My family is very spread out and we don’t get together often, so it was such a treat to see Becca! Thanks for coming by and bringing your sweet kiddo […]

White Bean Chicken Chili

I’ve made a white bean chili once before and I was very surprised on how delicious it was… I’m a red chili type of girl usually. But I decided I wanted to make it again today, although didn’t feel like going to the grocery store today because it is a frigid 18 degrees. So, I […]

Faith over Fear

I worry a lot. It’s not just here in New Jersey, I’ve always been this way. I just worry and think about all the things that could happen. I’m guessing a lot of the worrying comes from TV shows. SVU is one of my favorite shows, so that doesn’t help the situation for obvious reasons. […]

January in Jersey

We have had pretty decent weather for the past couple days. It’s been rainy and windy, but in the 30s-high 40s. When we first got back from UT, it was in the single digits, so I keep thinking Spring is here with this warmer weather. Eva is out of control with wearing dresses. She’s always […]

Carry On

Warning, this post might make me sound like I’m in high school. Last March, I was visiting my parents in Kentucky and driving on a long windy road home from my mom’s school. I was by myself, which as a mom, rarely happens. So, I turned up my music really loud. The song Carry On, […]

A Visit from Blair

My best friend who I grew up with, Blair, was in town last week and I got back right in time to visit with her and have her stay with us for a night! We have been friends since 4th grade, and have kept in touch even though we haven’t lived near each other for […]

2014 Goals

I love setting goals. I don’t always follow through with them forever, but I try to work on them for as long as I can. I’m still figuring out what I want to work on this year, but here’s what I have right now: Lose 20 pounds Quit nagging and speak in a nice tone […]

Christmas Vacation in Utah

I know the last post was about moving on to 2014, but I got ahead of myself. I’ve got to cover Christmas break first! T.J. and I flew separately since he had to work through the Friday before Christmas and then was back at work on the 2nd. I just found the cheapest flights I […]

On to 2014!

We had a good year. It was one of the biggest years of my life, up there with the years I became a mother, became a spouse, and became a BYU student. The best months were probably June and October because of all our fun adventures and the worst was March or April because I […]
