At the end of last month, T.J. and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Ten. YEARS! That feels a little crazy. We took a short trip to Philadelphia for just one night and on our drive down to the city, we chatted about all of the things we've learned, done, seen, and loved. And one topic we got talking about, and therefore laughing about, was cats.

It’s difficult to write about years of marriage. I feel like I should have something epic to say now that Brooke and I are celebrating a decade of being married. Yet as I sit here and type, delete and re-type again…

Yup. You read that right. I am in the process of throwing away all of my makeup. Item by item I'm tossing into the trash and here's why -- I am finally making the switch to clean. But let me back up a little bit first...

I have a very vivid first memory. It’s of G.I. Joe with tan pants and a black and red shirt falling from three stories, hitting the ground and exploding into pieces. That’s it.

There is something inside of us that wants to be free. It's what makes us scream and laugh while we barrel down the tracks of a roller coaster, or stick our arm out of the car window during the first hot days of summer.

For the past two months, I've been in the "land between." It's a place we often visit in our lives. It's the place where we haven't started what's next or finished what just ended.

Jesus tells us time and time again in scripture how to be more like Him. He tells us to be courageous, forgiving, slow to anger. But we’re like children: we need to practice.

And that's where we live as followers of Jesus. We live in that space where faith remains, even when second voice surgeries are needed, because we've seen the good that has already happened and we believe it will happen again.

There are a few things I believe in with my whole heart: that there's no such thing as too much iced coffee, that encouraging creativity in your kids will never be a waste of time, and Jesus. And that The Office is the best show of all time. 

Lately, I have felt like God is pushing me toward something, but I have no idea what it is. And like my daughter on the edge of the pool, I don't want to put on the floaty…

I was watching TV on a Saturday night, endlessly scrolling through feeds while not really absorbing any of it. I felt that same conviction, "You are addicted to this device..." And after years of avoiding it or making half efforts stop the addiction, I decided that I would do something.

I am such a big Chris Pratt fan, and so whenever I see him use his HUGE stage and preach I get goosebumps! 

Today, Brooke and I are celebrating nine years of marriage.  "Celebration" is a loose term today since we have a 3-year-old and four-month-old.  Don't worry though; we enjoyed a dinner for two and a slow, enjoyable walk around Target last week!

The most common question I get for the walk in love. show is "How do you balance?" It doesn't matter if I am answering the question or one of our great guests are, someone always asks about balance. I think it's because we can feel so off-balanced at times.

Every now and then, I try to challenge myself creatively, just to keep the juices flowing. My most recent challenge is a to take non-phone photos, for five days in a row, and then share those images and the story of my day on the walk in love blog + my Instagram

Recently, I was sharing some of the struggles that come with running a business and he sent me an awesome e-mail filled with encouragement that I thought I would share with you, since I know there are a lot of entrepreneurs in the walk in love. community!

Nothing beats a good group of friends.  When we think back about the moments of life when our hearts are full, we are usually surrounded by a group of amazing friends!
