Faith, Family, Adoption, Outdoors
I am a wife, mommy, and ER doctor, sometimes all at once and sometimes one at a time.
Growing up every year my dad would cut off the bottom branches of the big family tree that we got and my brothers and I would get to put those branches in buckets of sand and decorate them and keep them in our rooms. It was one of my favorite memories of Christmas. We’ve been […]
MoreWhen Clint and I first got married we drove up to the mountains each year and cut down our own Christmas tree. Now I know that sounds super traditional and full of great memories. To be honest it was full of memories, not sure all of them were all that great. First off, we didn’t […]
