We pretend to be adults.

Happy Easter!
It's just the two of us and our pup this Easter.  The first time we don't have our families surrounding us on a holiday. It's bittersweet but we're trying to adult it out.



Side note: we've learned we are pretty terrible at adulting. Our shower cracked in a few places and we had the maintenance people come and check it out. Come to find out it was a pretty big deal and they have to do a week's work on it, which means we are shower-less. 
So our apartment lent us the keys to the model apartment so we could use that shower. Being the sweet wife I am I took ALL of our toiletries to the other apartment so it would be easy to shower and whatnot without having to carry things. 
8:00pm rolls around and Andy decides to take a break from studying and go shower. However, the apartment people forgot to give us the alarm code {minor details...} that obviously arms itself after hours {or someone armed it after I left. Remember I left ALL our toiletries}. 
Needless to say, at 8:00 at night we are standing outside this apartment, that isn't ours, in our pajamas talking to the police- with our dog. Well, the police can't shut the alarm off and the apartment people wouldn't answer the emergency line. The neighbors are pretty pumped about us being there at this point. 
We have to leave, no shower, no getting our things {not even my toothbrush}, and hope for better luck next time. 

So much for that. I think the pool is going to be our temporary shower. 

Oh, another reason adulting just isn't my thing. I submitted my application for my OT license without notarizing it because I didn't know what notarizing was. I know now. 

So we celebrate Easter pretending to be adults. I think it's interesting that Christmas is a bigger, more elaborate holiday than Easter. Personally, I love Easter. Yes, Jesus was born on Christmas but he died and rose again for us on Easter. I think that should be bigger. But no one asked me. And why is the Cadbury Bunny an egg from a bunny? That just doesn't make sense...

I'm filled with so much joy celebrating the freedom Christ gave us 2,000 years ago and continues to give us today. My heart always breaks when I think about the torture Jesus endured for me but death could not keep Him! The grave is empty and will remain empty forevermore.


An adult breakfast coming at ya to start our morning.


We went to New Life Community Church. It's where we have been attending. We miss our family at Havenfield so very much but New Life has been great for us.

I made a pot roast for lunch {I even put it in the crock pot the night before, that's an adulting success}.




Andy studied most of the day. Such is his life.

Raja completely destroyed her panda. She reminds me of Sid in Toy Story the way she treats her toys. Sometimes I feel really horrible for her toys, like I betrayed them by giving them to her.

Little bit creepy. 

She had a happy easter.



I'm not a huge flower person but I thought these brightened up the apartment.


My mom has been sending the scorpion emoji at the end of her texts to me, not sure how that makes me feel. But I get to hug her tomorrow! For a whole week. 

I trust you all had a great Easter with family and friends. I also trust you're better at adulting than me.

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free" Gal 5:1



Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
Do you believe this?"
John 11:25-26

Let The Summer Begin (almost)

We decided we needed to get out of the valley for a few days {with summer quickly approaching and tempts reaching the 90's}, so we packed up and went to Payson for the weekend. I highly recommend going to see the Natural Bridge, pictures do not do it justice.  And I'm pretty dang impressed with Andy for hiking all day with this baby pack. It is seriously not as easy as it looks. I've got to start training...  Raja clearly had the time of her life. {per usual} We are so excited that little man is big enough to ride in the baby pack! And I'm excited Andy is able to haul the baby pack.  Raja is just excited about dirt and water {mud}.  Happy Monday, everyone. Thanks for reading :) 

Arizona Baby Shower, Easter and Family

Hello everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful Easter weekend. Our Easter was pretty busy but it was so special in so many ways. First of all my sweet Arizona mother, Catherine (who has taken me in as her own), hosted a baby shower for Baby Buck. He was shown great love from friends we've made out here in the desert. I cannot wait for him to meet all the loving people awaiting his arrival (only 15 more weeks to wait, by the way!). On that note he has some pretty amazing family that are anxiously awaiting to meet him, as well- my mother, Andy's mother, my grandparents (Mammy and Grandaddy) and my cousin all made the long journey out for the shower and for Easter. We are so thankful they were able to come!  We all had so much fun at the shower!  The nursery theme is woodland creatures.  Catherine and Gary We played some pretty entertaining games, which I will spare you the pictures from. Also, we al...

Christmas Out West

"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."  1 John 5:11-12  We thoroughly enjoyed each other over Christmas time.  Raja enjoyed opening her and almost everyone else's presents.  The desert heat will burn her paws in the summer so...  boots for Christmas. She's thrilled.  Shrimp and grits for Christmas dinner.  Raja sporting a buff...  {I hate the humans and their things-Raja}  One of the best ways for me to experience the presence of God is through His creation.  "You are beautiful beyond description  Too marvelous for words Too wonderful of comprehension  Like nothing ever seen or heard Who can grasp your infinite wisdom Who can fathom the depth of your love You are beautiful beyond description Majesty enthroned above I sta...
