i was just sitting here reading/catching up on our sweet-a blog... and i had this thought pop into my head "this is awesome!". I am thankful we actually all committed to this thing... it's so good for me (and im sure all yall can attest to this) to get to sit down when I onlly have a little free time, and hear the wonderful/hard/bad/good/funny things going on each one of your lives. It just brought a huge smile to my heart. Just wanted to say- thank yall for sharing your life with me! I get a lil homesick every now and then (and by homesick, i mean i miss my friends.. badly!). Anyway, will post soon on updates in our life...
muuuuch love,

True to your heartttt, you must be true to your heart (Thank you 98 Degrees & Stevie Wonder)
Hellllo peeps. So my life's been good lately, DC is finally starting to warm up and everything is in bloom which is pretty! Work's going well, I've been praying a lot about where God is calling me to be, and the are a couple of jobs I'm trying to apply for- maybe doing admissions counseling with schools. Pray for that transition and that I will know where I should be.
A couple weeks back, Rachel and I visited Lindsey and Rebecca in St. Louis! It was freezing cold, so we didn't do all that much exploring around the city. But we did go to City Museum at night, and they turn off the lights and you get to go around with flashlights- which was awesome! I felt like the biggest little kid eva. It was so fun to see Lindsey's and Rebecca's lives up there, we went to church, walked around Wash U's beautiful campus, and met all their friends.
This past Sunday Al, Whit, and I went to our favorite vineyard (read: only vineyard we've gone to here)....Three Fox. We spent the whole day there, swinging on the tree swing by the creek, sitting by the fire pit, and having a picnic in the back of Al's car. We finished off the day by eating gross amounts of biscuits and fried food at Cracker Barrel. Good times.
I'm way excited about being down in Athens for LIV's exit show! I'm looking forward to seeing those of you all that will be there, and I can already taste Mama's Boy. Mm.
Well. That's about all I've got. I love you guys lots and stuff.

hi from California!!
hey friends :)
So I have been MIA on here for quite a while. My apologies! I have made it safely to California after a 3 day long, very intense drive across America with Keeley.
We had a lot of fun and actually, it went quicker than I thought it would. We left Friday night and by Sunday night though, when we got stuck in a SNOW STORM in CALIFORNIA on a MOUNTAIN, we were ready for the drive to be over. It was ridiculous. I was on hour 13 of driving for the day and my leg (literally) started shaking uncontrollably on the gas pedal. It was bizarre and scary. It was late and dark and raining VERY hard. We had absolutely no idea we were going up any sort of incline and then all of a sudden out of nowhere there were huge snow flakes hitting the windshield, then more and more and more until the entire road was covered and there was so much snow that it had completely covered the exit signs and everything. It was frightening, but we made it out alive and to the hotel that was only 30 miles away but circumstantially 2 hours away. Crazy.
There is so much to tell y'all that I'm getting a little overwhelmed. So I think I'll just give you the cliff-notes version and fill in holes later! Davey and I are settling in really well here and are enjoying each others company a lot. I think I was a little scared we might have some problems since a lot can change in 3 months apart. For the most part though, we've both changed for the better and appreciate each other more than before :) It's so great to be back with him!
It's really beautiful here. We joined the Monterey Bay Aquarium last weekend and have already been twice this week. It's so awesome. Davey and I stared like little kids at the sleeping giant octopus for 15 minutes straight. The weather is nice here, mostly sunny and warm when the wind isn't blowing, but usually it is blowing so it's a little chilly. We've hung out with some of Davey's friends from class and they are all really nice! We went out with them last weekend and a bunch of them had just recently turned 21....they were so drunk and then 2 of them (a guy and a girl) started making out on the street. I was the DD and you could hear slurping noises coming from the backseat. RIDICULOUS! haha
I'm a nanny right now and I love the 2 little girls I'm taking care of. They are twins and almost 3...so cute! Their mom is really cool and I've spent a lot of time talking to her these past 2 weeks. I'm currently job hunting and have some good leads at the moment. A couple childcare jobs and 1 personal assistant job that sounds awesome... like $20/hour awesome....
That's all for me! I'll post more when more happens. We don't have our furniture shipment yet, but as soon as we get it and get everything set up i'll post pictures of the house for y'all!
