Something old, something new...

Well, surprise surprise, life has taken over since my last post (read: I finally got to marry Adam!!!) and now I'm embarrassingly far past due to post a blog update. I have been thinking about what to write for a while - and really what to do with this blog in general. 

Adam & I have been training for our first marathon over these last few months and I do most of my blog brainstorming during runs to keep myself occupied. To backtrack a little - all of this blogging began about 4 years ago, during college, when I started really trying to focus on living a healthier lifestyle - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This blog was created as an attempt to share all of the above in hopes that it would be encouraging [in some small way] to others. As I transitioned from college in Chicago to an internship in St. Louis - including a big transition of getting engaged - my blogging starting transitioning too. 

Now - I'm married (YAY!!), so a new chapter of blogging has begun. My husband, our families, and our friends are spread out all over the world [literally!] so its kinda cool to get to share life together via something as easy as a blog.


Thanks for being willing to come along for the ride with me. I love the life that God continues to bless me with every day. I am blessed to be surrounded by supportive and loving people. I pray that my actions and conversations will be a blessing to others daily, this blog being one part of the many ways that hopefully happens!

So - with this latest shift in blogging, the web address for this blog as changed to: 


The question that Adam & I get the most when talking to pretty much anyone is "how is the married life?" so now through this blog we'll do our best to keep everyone updated what we are up to! :)

Here are some highlights and pictures (of course) of married life so far. Love you all! 


Our Wedding: BEST DAY EVER. Words can't describe the outpouring of love we experienced on our wedding day. Here is a sneak peak of our day! More pictures to come soon! All photos taken by Modern Image Studios - they also did our engagements photos last year. 















The Honeymoon: For our honeymoon we traveled to Destin, Florida - We both LOVE the beach & all the delicious seafood by beaches too. Wish we could have stayed longer! 




Where we live: Brillion, Wisconsin! Adam moved up here for his internship this past year, which turned into a full-time called position, so after my internship ended this past summer, I moved up too!

Yay for having so many boxes to unpack!
All settled in! - Visitors are ALWAYS welcome :)

Once we got back home from our honeymoon, we left the next day to take Adam's middle schoolers on a retreat at one of the Lutheran camps here in Wisconsin. The next weekend Adam officially got installed as the DCE for Zion Lutheran Church so his family came to visit & celebrate with us! Here are a few things we have been up to since...

Confirmation Camp & A visit from Adam's family!  While they were in town we checked out a local Tall Ships festival, had help assembling Adam's grill, and enjoying spending time all together in our new home


Name changing, Green Bay Packer games, hiking, running, farmer's markets, golf, and checking out Oktoberfest are some of the things we have enjoyed so far.

We got bikes as a wedding present from my parents and we LOVE them - our last biking adventure took us up to Door County to bike around a state park up there, really beautiful!


Alright, that just about covers an overview of life these past couple of months. Hopefully it's obvious that we are loving married life! It's a huge blessing from God that we get to be together and we are super thankful for that. This weekend we head back to Chicago to tackle our first (and maybe last?!) marathon. I'll share more about that tomorrow - and more wedding pictures too. Love you all - again!
