Ten. Thousand. Dollars. That’s about how much it cost for Jordan to start his first semester of law school. We were newlyweds, and we had committed to making it work on Amy’s small salary as Jordan worked his way through law school. We had also committed to tithing (giving the first ten percent of what […]

Life can get out of control. It’s a lot to manage. From the second we get home from work, it feels like there are a thousand things pulling us in a thousand directions. It’s so easy to accidentally let the night slip away from us and wonder where the time went. In this episode of our […]

We get to celebrate with our sweet, sweet friend Katelyn James and her husband Michael, who are visiting Arizona from their home state of Virginia for the very first time. We love having them here and are so excited […]

In the spirit of gratefulness and mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie and all things amazing about today, we took a minute to reflect on all the the little things that we’re thankful for (and some really big things too!) So without further adieu, we’re thankful for: – William Wallace the cat, who rolls on […]
