Happy 4th anniversary to the best husband I ever could've asked for!! Photos in this post are all by Carissa Christine! As a teenager, I spent countless evenings on my knees, praying for "FH" (what I called my future husband) - praying that God would lead us to each other, and praying for our future marriage. I couldn't wait to meet him. I didn't know how, or where, but I knew it would be a beautiful, special relationship. I had my heart set on marrying my best friend, and I prayed for him … [Read more...]
Small Town Life Q+A Video
Today's post is totally different from anything I've posted before!! And I'm really excited about it. :) In my reader surveys, there have always been a lot of questions about our small town life and what it's like living in a rural community.

More recently, I finally realized that many of you were still showing interest in this topic, so I asked you what other questions you had … [Read more...]

Bjorn doesn't stress the way that many people so often … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I'm soaking up my blessings (aka, my two valentines) this year. It's fun to have a holiday that acts as a reminder to celebrate those you love dearly!

6 Simple Ways to Be Your Husband’s Greatest Champion
One of my very favorite things to hear is someone really building up their spouse. There seem to be more than enough "My husband is so stupid" conversations out there. Speaking well of my husband is something I take very seriously! In my marriage, I consider it my job - my commitment - to be Bjorn's greatest champion. It's not my job to nag him and tear him down, and assume that someone else will be his cheerleader in life. When I made the promise to love my husband through every avenue of … [Read more...]
