Above are a few more photos I have been able to grab this week, mostly all from yesterday. Our week days are pretty similar right now, so I figured I would just jot down the gist and stick it in the album with the daily photos spreads. This is the gist : Paul wakes up…

I mentioned last week that Amanda of Driver Photo contacted me about an E&P photo shoot (her reason for why is unbelievably sweet). We were so happy to take her up on it two Saturdays ago. Amanda and her husband Nate came to our house and we shot downstairs (I really wanted to capture a…

Two years ago, Paul and I had a wedding. Every day since we've been working on a marriage. Love you to the stars, babe. Happy anniversary. photos by The Goodness (formerly Lisa Welge)

The month leading up to our wedding and then the six weeks after, Paul and I were without a permanent place to live. It was a crazy and exciting time but we were so relieved to finally, after ten weeks, find an apartment in San Diego and have a kitchen again (and all our wedding…

We have now been home together in our "normal" lives for about a week. The short story is everything is wonderful. The long story is there is more to it than just that. Some moments are hard. Some moments I burst into tears. Some moments I am frustrated. Some moments I really struggle to find…

This is the official wrap up of our post-deployment California roadtrip. We've been dreaming of this vacation for months and planning for almost as long. It was sort of second honeymoon and so we were willing to spend a bit more than usual for fantastic accommodations. We picked our hotels in advance based mostly on…
