moments at the movies

Over the break Eden and I went to the movies to see Hail Mary with Ryan Gosling. We hadn’t read the book so we felt a little lost and that it went slow. Neither of us have ever had this situation, but we just kept laughing as we asked each other to clarify what was going on… At the end, Eden said, “I mean we can have fun doing anything as long as we are together, even if we are lost in a movie plot…” It made me want to document it here because it was so sweet!

 I’m so thankful for this job and career!

Arizona or bust!

 Eden and so spent the weekend in Arizona for a soccer game on Sunday. 

We don’t really stay in hotels very frequently so each time always feel so fun!

We had so much fun eating our way through Arizona spots:

Game day!

It ended in a draw but I was so proud of how she battled!

No matter what we do, we have so much fun!

a little time together…

 Ryder took the day after he got home from Spain to recover. We decided to take a little time at Crystal Cove then grab In-N-Out.

We are over the moon that our kid is home and it was so special to get the one on one time!

We have a 16 year old!

 On April 6, our Ryder turned 16! We just can’t believe it! He came home from Spain that day so celebrations were different than normal, but so fun to be together nonetheless…

He’s back!

 On April 6, on his 16th birthday, Ryder came home from Spain! While he was gone, we were able to text and send photos! It made his time away feel so much less painful. Here are some snapshots we got, from their time around Barcelona to games and the MIC tournament, to the Easter service he attended at a beautiful cathedral.

Around town free time:

On the pitch…

Easter Sunday…

We are SO happy that he got to have this adventure, but we are even more excited that he is home! Spain, thank you for being so good to my kid!

Easter 2026

 We are back from all the Easter festivities! 2 Good Friday services, 1 community celebration and 6 Easter services! It was a full and incredible time with our church community as well as low key family time to celebrate that Jesus is ALIVE! Here are some snap shots:

It was such a wonderful time.❤️
