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 Lessons in 3 Years

As of August, we have been official Arizonians for 3 years! Seems kind of crazy that it's been that long. We have all learned a lot about the west. So, in celebration of our 3 year Arizonniversary here are a few things Arizona has taught us... about survival.  1. Get up early. From about May-September if we want to run, hike, ride the horses, swim at the pool, really anything outdoors we are up the the flipping crack of dawn because any other time of the day is miserable. When it isn't the heat of the summer, the evenings are pretty decent. And when people say, "oh it's a dry heat out there though, so that's probably not so bad", I literally laugh out loud. Before we moved here people had told us the dry heat isn't so bad {you know who you are}. So we stupidly went out to the barn to clean stalls in 120 degrees. I thought the hot breeze was going to melt my eye balls. And then we were both sick with chills the rest of the day. Now, under 105 degrees,...

Ten Reasons To Be A Dog's Human

I have been Raja's human for almost two years now. She has taught me a lot in these two years of our pupship. Let me start with the day Raja came into our lives... Andy and I drove from Alabama to Pennsylvania to pick up our sweet little new best bud. I envisioned an adorable pup loving on me and sleeping all curled up in my lap for the whole 13 hour drive home... Well, I got the adorable pup part. She howled bloody murder most of the drive if she wasn't scratching my neck and arms or peeing on {and inside} my suit case. It was so fun. Reason #1. You become her everything.  I took this small baby away from everything she knew and expected her to immediately love and trust me. It just doesn't happen that way. I had to earn her love and her trust. The good thing about a pup is it happens pretty quickly. After those first few weeks of the infamous, horrible crate training {back when 5am was her favorite time of the day, ...
