    TGATG #26

    I love to stay up late. I have always been a night owl and never a morning person. When I know that I don’t have to wake up early the next day, I always want to stay up. I just love when all of the chores are done for the day and the house is…

    I actually love football. For a girl who is not athletic and super girlie, college football is one of my favorite things about fall (GO GATORS!!!). I have never been a huge NFL fan though. Growing up, we didn’t have a team we would really root for being from Orlando. Cheering for the Bucs is…

    Ughhh, moments like this are just the best. I love Lottie all the time, but the post-bath, in jammies, asleep in your arms moments are just the best! I couldn’t even gather the gumption to get up and put her in bed. I just wanted to keep snuggling her longer. I know the moments are…

    I am so thankful for my church. Yesterday the power went out about fifteen minutes before our first service. Something happened, and the entire neighborhood was out. Our staff pivoted so well! Emergency lights were on, the worship band played acoustic guitar, the drums were on the Cajon, and we sang traditional songs that everyone…

    It has been over a year since all six of us were together. Starting in 2020, the six of us became best friends. It’s hard to find couple friends where the wives and husbands get along with each other equally, but in the group, we are all besties. We have lived some really unforgettable moments…

    One year of celebrating lottie!  The day I found out I was pregnant was one of the best days of my life! It’s rare to have moments in life, where one chapter ends, and the next begins in an instant. It usually seems like a slow morphing from one chapter to the other. But that…

    While I might be a few days behind, I am definitely not short of things to be grateful for. This weekend at home was so good. It was so nice to be able to be with my family. When I am at my parents’ house, it is like I can fully rest. I think it…

    Boy oh boy it has been a week! There was a long season of my life where I worried about how I would fill my hours. I wondered what I would do at work or after work or on the weekend. I still get a little bit of this particular anxiety (a story for another…

    Sometimes I still feel like I am playing house. Like I am the babysitter and any minute the parents are going to come home and thank me and hand me $50. When I was little, there were certain things that I imagined I would do that would feel extra grown up. I can’t exactly identify…

    I am so thankful for my mama! Yesterday was her birthday and she is just the easiest to celebrate! Unfortunately, I was not with her, but I will be tomorrow and we are going to celebrate it up this weekend. If you know her, you for sure love her. She would do anything for one…
