Weddings Bring Us Together

Basically I have another sibling that I haven't mentioned. Her name is Anna and my family decided we would claim her as our own about six-ish years ago. Another fact you may not know is that she is getting married in September. We are all pretty excited about this because we all actually like Parker (fiancé). With help from our friend Whitney we had a small, fun shower for Anna and Parker.

Before getting cleaned up. They're cute.

As always with anything the Calhouns' are involved in, we needed some entertainment. I'll let you guess who sent dad's truck into the woods 20 minutes before the shower started...

When these guys are involved, usually so is shooting.

Skeet shooting to wish the happy couple the best? It was fun either way.

And that concludes the pictures. I can't wait to stand by this girl in a few more months while she marries the man she's always waited for. Parker is a lucky guy.

Thanks for reading, friends.

Okay time, let's cool the jets.

For the first time in my life I wish time would slow down. I've always longed for the next step. In high school I wanted college --> college I wanted to know what to do with my life --> graduate school I wanted to be married --> married wanted to settle in and know where we would live --> and now... I want it to slow down. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to go back... no, never take me back {please}. I can't believe I'll be 25 in less than a month AND in October Andy and I will be married 2 years. All I'm saying is how in the world did that happen? I'm so excited for the future and what God has in store for our lives, but do you ever wish you could freeze time for a little while? Just soak it all in a little bit longer... I do. So I have decided I am going to enjoy every adventure Andy and I are blessed with. Every run that I just want to cry on because I am dying, every mountain bike trip that I secretly want to hit Andy on because he is s...

A desert summer.

We moved into a new house this week!!! My family came out to help us move and of course we had to make some time for play. We made the tough treck to Fossil Creek! It was worth it. I jumped off the little one. It was scary. I don't think I'll do it again. On the last day we went to Apache Lake. I forgot my camera so we don't have many documents of this trip, but it was very relaxing. We are so thankful for their help. And for play time. And for our new house!!

Why The Wait?

Wait : stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens. "Wait" is not a a word I like to hear. It makes me angry. It's not in our human nature, waiting. Especially in our society where we are accustomed to getting everything immediately. So why the wait? Why does God force us to wait? Andy and I have been hit with the waiting game pretty hard lately. This is what I have learned... Trust God. Waiting has a way of forcing me to trust His plan. We know He has gone before us. However, He only allows us to see one step directly in front of us at a time. Each time we take a step, He provides us with the next step. I have wrestled with this, desperately wanting to know where we will be next year, and the next; never being content with knowing where we are today. Today, right now, we are fine. God has made sure of that- why can't that be enough? What I have learned: it is enough. Today is enough. And we trust ...
