The Old Fashion Wife

             Soooooooo this is a spur of the moment blog post. A thought process that got reaaaal deep and I ended up thinking “you know what? I should write this down.” & here we are. My husband and I have been studying and pondering individually and together pride & humility. We recently read about how pride and humility can not coexist. When we saw it we were like “oh yeah that makes sense. We BASICALLY knew that!” But we didn’t. Because as we dove in, it’s reaped so many eye openers to us. It came when we realized how detrimental pride is to our connection with God. I mean we knew that. But we didn’t realize how sneaky pride is. It’s a huge tool of Satan’s against the children of God. So here I am to tell you of the thoughts I’ve had as my husband and I have pondered pride and humility.              Humility is extremely complicated. I truly don’t think most people fully understand what humility is. We ge...

             One thing I hope people can walk away from my blog posts feeling is that they read something real, raw, and unfiltered. A breath of fresh air from the "perfect" pictures we usually post, to read real thoughts. I feel I am very open that my life is very imperfect. Yet, I love it that way. Some aspects of my life are harder to love. But all in all my life has always been something I am grateful for.              Of course, I'd be lying if I didn't say I dealt with daily anxiety attacks.

But sometimes my anxiety attacks don't seem so irrational like freaking out I'm gonna mess up on my kid to never being financially independent and always living in an apartment.              I know I'm not alone in these fears. Some of our...

           I wrote a post about Hudson’s birth so I suppose it’s time for Beverly’s birth to be shared with the world lol. Beverly’s pregnancy went by so much faster than Hudson’s! But I did have a toddler keeping me preoccupied during those 9 months so I guess it makes sense lol. Beverly all throughout her pregnancy was SO ACTIVE! She constantly kicked and started at 14 weeks. I always felt her & even saw her moving so much. She woke me up from how hard her kicks were. I got a little nauseous with her but my main symptom, like with Hudson, was a loss of appetite. I craved Cane’s chicken my entire pregnancy, thanks for those late night runs Garrett lol. And of course after awhile I just couldn’t wait anymore to meet my little girl. I can’t tell you how many times I sobbed to Garrett and my mom saying “Can I just hold her already?! Can I just have my baby please?!”            Fast forward to, Sunday, January 20th. I woke up...
