The horizon lays ahead of me. It’s open, exciting, yet at the same time unknown. Heading into another big life change brings a lot of transitions and emotions, as well as closing doors behind me. It sure feels good, but it’s also scary at the same time. Lately life has had a lot of change and… Continue reading {Shatterproof}
Each year seems to go by faster than the last. And as each year passes, I am continually reminded how blessed I truly am and how much I have to be grateful for. 2015 has been a good year — a really good year. Full of experiences, it’s been a year where I am thankful… Continue reading {A Heart Full of Thanksgiving}
This weekend was a big moment in my life. It was the last harvest on our family farm. My parents will be moving to town in the next few months, which is so exciting for them. My dad has put in years of hard work, and it’s time for a break and to have less… Continue reading {Farm Life + Scenes from the Last Harvest}
I had been waiting for this trip for a very long time. It was a trip that my sister and I had excitedly planned for months leading up to the big day. It was time for our trip to California! I knew that we would travel well together, as my sister and I are very… Continue reading {Celebratory Birthday Trip}
This past week was crazy busy (what else is new in my life?), but it was full of so many wonderful things! Last Friday was our annual all day marketing conference for AMA Iowa, the Experience Event.

Christmas seems to sneak up on me every year. Once again I was that person finishing my list on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. How does this happen every year?! And then the special holiday is gone in a flash. This year was no different, and I can’t believe it’s already over! I kicked off the holiday… Continue reading {Merry Merry}
It has been way too long since I have blogged, so I have to apologize for being so silent on here! The last month has been crazy busy with starting a new job and taking over as President of AMA Iowa, which hasn’t left for a lot of free time to just sit down and write.… Continue reading {Life Lately}
I have always lived life with the perspective of the glass being half full. Living with this mentality translates into many more moments full of joy that may look otherwise if my perspective was different and the glass was half empty. You can’t always control your situation, but you can always control your perspective! In Thessalonians… Continue reading {Embracing Joy}
As I sit down and relax for the first time today, I cannot stop smiling. Today was my 29th birthday, and it was an absolute celebration! It truly has been birthday week! It started Monday night with a party with my co-workers, continued into Tuesday night as my bible study girls celebrated me and capped off my… Continue reading {A Day of Celebration!}
This past weekend I made the trip to Northwest Iowa for a few big events! The biggest event I went back to celebrate was my (gasp!) ten year high school reunion. I can hardly even believe it! It also happened to be Tulip Festival, which worked out quite nicely as I was able to see… Continue reading {A Weekend Back Home}
