Up with the babes, diaper changes becuase...yeah. Coffee, lots of coffee, "Google, play Maverick City Worship," hair in a claw clip and ice roll my face.

my morning routine

Hmm, depends! I love a honey cinnamon latte with whole milk but also love a dirty chai (chai tea latte with a shot of espresso) 

my coffee order:

New Girl (classic), The Today Show, Jack Ryan, Friday Night Lights, KUWTK (duh)

favorite shows

Jesus as my Savior, shooting ya straight, always getting the guac and queso, audiobooks count as "reading", and always saying the nice thing outloud.

I believe in

Fun fact: Thomas and I would date for two years, break up for two years and then re-date for two more years until we'd get engaged and married 8 months later. Life's crazy, sis.

In between our "break up" season, I experienced deep grief when my dad suddenly passed away in a rock climbing accident. I mourned in the most unhealthy ways and I barely recognize that girl today (Praise God). Jesus interrupted my life, captured my heart and I full surrendered in my college dorm my freshman year. Life changed, 360 difference actually, and it totally threw people off.

Today, I'm able to fully surrender because of that moment and several moments to follow that after.

Let me start by saying Columbia, South Carolina has a piece of my heart. It's where I grew up, it's what I call my "hometown" and I love going back to visit my family there. It's also where I met my high school sweet heart in the Christ Church youth group. Who knew that cutie guitar playing baseball guy would become my husband and life partner years later? About that story....

TLDR:

(too long didn't read)

+ married to my best friend and hunk of a husband
+ have two sweet little boys (Maddex and Oliver)
+ I'm a military wife (Air Force) and my husband serves our country as a pilot
+ he also flies us around in our little plane, it's actually so cool
+ I host a podcast where I share these crazy stories and more!

God used my grief, repentant heart and community around me to bring me to a life that is full of joy, abundant and worth living. I'm so grateful for that.
