As much as we adore our community and home here in Mississippi, we really really craved being closer than 12-17 hours away from family. Especially […]

Ellie and I are celebrating our birthdays on Saturday! She’ll be 3 and I’ll be 31. Her birth story and testimony to the Lord’s goodness will always be such a cherished story of ours (I shared it HERE). It was my favorite birthday of all time, that’s for sure. A bit of a vulnerable moment: […]
