In May of 2008 I was married to one amazing man. Who is full of life and creativity. He always makes me laugh and keeps me grounded. He communes with God in such a way, that makes me jealous and knows how to love better than most.

Our dreams of a quiet outdoor wedding with family and a few close friends, went out the window when we started counting all our close friends and our family. What can I say though, we are blessed.

I don't know what else to say about our experience there at this point. I would probably have to write a book in order to some it all up, maybe one day I will.

When we returned from Atlanta we had learned a lot but what hit us the hardest was our realization that we had to have community. So we had two of our friends move into a house in Cincinnati with us.

One of those friends, Katie, had a dream that I was pregnant a couple weeks after moving in together. SURPRISE! I was.

9 months later. . . Lincoln appeared on the scene. The best thing that ever happened to us.

Lincoln will be 5 months Monday. He is absolutely incredible. I want more babies pronto :) (just putting that out there now) . I am extremely happy being a mom and a wife. My hope for this blog is that I can share my life with those of you I don't get to see every day, or even every week.

We just recently moved with our housemate Katie and her wonderful man Nathan to Norwood. I am blessed by them and I am blessed by Norwood. I have an incredible community here. More great neighbors than I can count. We have many dear friends living literally right next to us. There are probably ten people that are on a "don't worry about knocking just come in basis" and I love it that way. We are home.

This photo (above) was taken by Amanda McLaughlin. This is a photo of a grill out we were having at St. E's. This building is part of our community here in Norwood and is right across from our new home.

Summing all this up has made me remember a lot of details about the past couple years I hadn't really thought about in a while. Life really does come at you fast! I plan on keeping you up to date through this blog and filling in all the holes.

Just for kicks here is a more recent photo of our lovely Lincoln.
