Though neither of us would ever wish to walk through the pain that we’ve walked through for the last 3 months, we are so freaking thankful for the growth that has come from it. We’ve both learned so much about compassion. Ty has lead me so well in what it looks like to show grace […]

I’ve been going through the thousands of photos we took in the last year (still… because it’s so dang hard) and I’ve never been more thankful than I am for my husband. He took so many images. Of me, of the babe, of me + the babe, of all three of us. He didn’t care […]

Today is Small Business Saturday and it’s making me so weepy to think about how stinking blessed we are with this “small” business we are running. I’ve been running a small business since college and then after graduation I started a SECOND small business that now isn’t actually so small. To my sweet husband– thank […]

We decided to crash a “local” Happy Oiler hangout and took a trip to Tulsa over the weekend. The event was so freaking cute and so freaking fun and my heart feels so full 😍 I say this all the time, but there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t feel overwhelming gratitude for […]

And while I don’t think either are healthy or helpful, there are some things that I regret that I want to be productive with. I never once thought of how little man’s mom must have been feeling after her children […]

There’s a place in my photo stream on my phone where he suddenly doesn’t appear any more. A photo of his little hand in mine, wearing his tiger romper from old navy, sitting in his car seat from the day we made the painful 20 minute drive to his new foster family’s home. As the […]
