Twas the week before Christmas and the weekend is here! What a week it has been, here on 24th street. Nothing short of miracles taking place around me this advent season. It has been one of those seasons, where you just sit in awe of all that God is doing in your midst. I truly hope this season has been a sweet one for you
It was late as we drove home last Saturday evening, Chase and I tired from a full day spent with our sweet friends who live out of town. We were nearly to our street, when we both spotted it. I mean how could we possibly miss it? High up in what must be the neighborhoods tallest tree, were white christmas lights strung to perfection in
Welcome to Friday my friends. I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that December is nearly a week over already! Trying even harder to find the quiet, while the world around me is in a flurry of hurry. Savoring my Saviors birth story as much as possible and working towards less crazy and more calm.

The before pictures were taken about 2 years ago, while we were still finishing up trim paint and such. hopefully you will notice a a few small changes… BEFORE: AFTER: It always amazes me what a little paint and a few pictures can accomplish!

Chase and I ran the Park2park 1/2 marathon last Saturday and it was a gorgeous day to say the least! I am still in awe of how lovely it was, especially for the end of September! This was our second year participating in this race and I speak for myself, but I hope to run it again next year and the year after that, because
This week holds the very first official day of Fall and to celebrate I am sipping on a latte, wearing one of my favorite fall jackets and sitting in the corner of a coffee shop with my favorite guy. Even though fall technically starts this week, I have been embracing and anticipating this fall season now for several weeks. Yes, I am keenly aware that
Here we are, almost ready to say good-bye to another summer month. I seem to be experiencing that phrase: “the older you get, the faster time goes.” But for the next hour, on Friday, July 25th I am here writing.
