Last Sunday, Pastor Carlton did a child dedication and one of the things he asked the parents to do was come up with a bible verse they'd like to dedicate to their son and daughter. I cried, of course, but it really got me thinking. What bible verse do I want to dedicate to Isaiah? It didn't take me long to come up with this one because it has meant so much to me during my years of "growing up" not only because of how relevant it feels in almost every situation but because it reminds me of one of the greatest qualities God gives us: HOPE. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 I don't know what God has in store for Isaiah and no matter how I dream it up in my head, it may never compare to what his reality will be. But I do know it will be great because God is so good and in the hardest of times He can bring out the best in people. So I pray tha...

I've read stories about people getting the "pregnant stupids" and while I think they're hysterical, I think I've got them...bad. All the time. Every day. My guess is that because I lucked out with morning sickness (or lack of), God decided to turn me into an idiot. Case in point. Thursday afternoon, I drove all the way home from work (about 20 minutes) only to realize I forgot my work keys, which I needed to open the office the next morning. So I had to rush back to work before my co-worker left at 5 p.m. to grab them. She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her I was. Then when I got home, Darren and I were going to meet my aunt and uncle and cousins downtown for dinner. So we rushed off to dinner and as soon as we hit the busy grid of downtown, I realized, I FORGOT MY PHONE. This would be OK any other day except for the fact that 1) I was the only one that had any of their phone numbers and 2) We didn't even designate a spot to meet - we were just going to...

It's officially been two and a half years since Darren and I graduated from WSU and ventured out into the world of San Diego, CA. It's been good, bad, happy, sad but most of all it's been an experience unlike any other. My oh my! We have experienced a whole lot of life! Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to... We moved to San Diego and rediscovered the beach. We took a few trips to the happiest place on Earth! We got engaged! We said "I do!" with our whole hearts on Budd Bay in Olympia, WA. We enjoyed Thanksgiving at Sunset Cliffs. We got a puppy! His name is Grady. We spent a lot of time at dog beach. We visited San Francisco, CA. We had a big wedding celebration!!! We honey-mooned in Oahu, Hawaii. We frequently chow down with some authentic California burritos. We celebrated our 1st anniversary and ate the cake topper! We cruised down to Cabo San Lucas.
