I am a devoted Catholic woman living in Oregon. I am head strong, passionate, and loud. I love the sun in my hair, sweet tea, and cats. I'm obsessed with nail polish, perfume, and sunflowers. Gilmore Girls is my all time favorite. I like books, tea, and the love of my life, Nick. I blog about all of the above, a lot. My best friend is marinakayy and she's awesome. I never learned how to ride a bike and I really just want to make art and plan weddings on my days off from being an early childhood education teacher. Hi.

Last night was such an affirmation that you can find true friendship through Christ in the most random places. Jon and I have been talking for over two years. We met online. We've shared hours of laughter, deep conversation, and prayer together via oovoo/Tumblr/text/fb and we finally met in person last night. He clicked with Nick in such a way that brought joy to my heart and I am so thankful for this new opportunity to grow in friendship with him and have fun adventures exploring OR/WA. #friendship #love #Catholic #truth #wemetonline #funny #youresotall

Last night I was looking out the window like I do every night from my recliner just thinking about Raspberry and I saw the sunset that was doing awesome things in shades of orange and pink. I told Nick to come look, then he told me that "Raspberry was painting the sky for Mommy" and I just lost it. I am so thankful for the wonderful husband God has given me. I am so full of joy these days but Raspberry is always in my heart and in my mind. #cottoncandyskies #mykidpaintsthetown #life #raspberry #misscarriage
