Despite Texas showing us record hot temps, we survived and thrived on our trip! J and I loved getting to spend time together and having extra time with my mom and our family there was a big bonus! We missed Logan - it's the longest I've been away from him - but he had so much fun with Gma, Gpa and his Uncas that we enjoyed our time away. Why did we go to Texas?

Marriage Journey: 4 Lessons from 4 Years Together
If we were sitting down over coffee talking about relationships, I'd share these things I'm learning on my marriage journey with you. I'm no expert, in fact sometimes I feel so massively unqualified to even write about marriage. But God keeps reminding me that marriage is something that requires constant cultivating, and that mistakes are part of growth. We've crammed a lot of life into our short time as a married couple - a baby, job loss, illness, the death of my father, daily joys and trials.
