Life

25 Things: Then and Now

I came across this 25 things post from 2016 and thought it would be interesting to fill it out again. It has been six years since I wrote that post and my life is drastically different than it was in 2016! Jimmy and I had been married less than two years, I was working as a pet sitter, and Lola was our only pet!

Now we have a sweet almost four-year-old, a baby on the way, a cool black cat (Malcolm!), and Siberian husky (Niva!). We’ve been married eight years and I work in the real estate industry, homeschool Sadie, and run an Etsy shop. Yep, it’s safe to say life is different!

So, let’s do this post again! You find both sets of answers below 😊

2016 I’m happiest when… I’m with dogs.
2022 I’m happiest when… I’m alone.

2016 …especially if… We’re on a walk with Jimmy.
2022 …especially if… I’m studying God’s Word or wandering aimlessly around Target. (more…)

Working, A Dog Portrait, and Other Fun

It’s currently Saturday night as I start this post. We’re all cuddled up on the couch watching the children’s movie Luck. It caught our eye because it features a black cat! We’ve got blankets and popcorn, but don’t go thinking it’s all perfect over here. We just had to pause the movie so I could use a deep cleaning vacuum on one of our couches because… potty training 🥴

Potty training isn’t what I’m here to talk about today, though! I’m here to talk about random things like coffee at home, work, and gift giving. So, let’s talk!
