long time no blog

Where to begin?
It's been a while. I know.
You can only imagine everything that's happened in the past six months.
Let me get you up to date.

entrepreneurship.
August-December 2016.

Ya know, people don't get enough credit for starting their own business.
IT IS HARD. Holy cow. You devote your whole life to it. There are no vacations, no breaks, and it doesn't stop at 5PM or on weekends. It is grueling work.

Which is why I am incredibly proud of Kevin for choosing this journey.
It has been such a blessing in our lives. We both learned so much. In fact, he was able to grow in ways unimaginable. He did everything on his own: from marketing to finances and everything in between. Except for his business cards, I'll take credit for those. Most importantly, he found something he was passionate about.

Kick starting his career, we discovered he was spread too thin, and that he wanted to really focus all of his efforts in one area. So, we decided to hold off expanding his business in order to pursue this path. And boy did that feel good.

making lemonade. 
January-February 2017. 

These two months were some of the most shaping that I've experienced as an adult.
They consisted of the most humbling, rewarding, and tender moments that I will forever treasure.
Because of this, I have to write about. I have to document the monumental impact it had on me. But I will also do my best to keep what needs to be private, private.

Kevin and I were blessed to spend some great quality time was the coolest six-year old boy, and sweetest 4-year old girl. Their family was going through some medical issues, and we were able to spend day-in and day-out with them. Eden absolutely loved it. They treated her like a queen. And she soaked it all up.

At this time, there were a lot of lemons being tossed around, if you know what I mean. But we witnessed miracles, and our situation, as well as theirs, was blessed tremendously. Each day was proof of all the lemonade in the making. 

I can't tell you enough how aware our Father in Heaven is of us. My faith in Him has been forever changed. I am so incredibly blessed to have this family share the most intimate parts of their lives with us. It has been unforgettable. And I am so grateful for the time I was able to be taught by these two wonderful kids. It really gives me hope in our future, in our trials, and hope in the plan that is laid out for us. I love this family. And I love the lessons taught and blessings brought through them.

and, once again... 
March 2017.

We've moved. Say what? Yes. The best way to pursue Kevin's career, and the most adventurous way, was to move. You could say we like to switch things up every now and again. We could have stayed in AZ, but decided we wanted to get a taste of COLORADO.

That's right! We moved to Parker, CO. And I wouldn't be surprised if we move again and again, only because it's so much fun (and when I say fun I mean not so fun, but that's for another post). It's a good thing we're with the right company, that suites our lifestyle. Who knows, maybe we'll move to San Fransisco next or even North Carolina. All I know is the beach is already calling our names.
