Valentine's Day!

I got to spend Valentine's Day with the love of my life, and it was perfect!

We had to go out of town because Randy had a conference to go to on the 15th, so I went with him and we celebrated Valentine's Day Wednesday, Saturday, & Sunday! SO awesome! I love that man SO much!

Here are some pictures from our trip...




We also went to an AMAZING botanical garden! We loved it! 
Randy and I both love flowers/plants/gardening, so this was really special.


This picture and the one below were at the Japanese Garden.
Randy took me to a Japanese Garden as part of our first date! So we just HAD to see this one!


Then, we had THE BEST pizza I have ever eaten in my life! WOW!


I love my sweet husband SO much! He is the best!!!
Here's the card I got him (minus the handwritten message). 
For the record, I believe in loving ALL year long, but it is nice to have one day (or a few days in our case) where we celebrate it a little bit more :) 



We love because He first loved us. How beautiful is the love of the Father! Hallelujah!

Crazy Love

I think I promised a really, really long time ago to tell the full story of how Randy & I met and got together. It really is a crazy story, and it definitely shows The Lord's hand in bringing us together from a very early time. Since it's Valentine's Day, now seemed like a good time to share "the story of us." photo by McKenzie Baird I'll begin with where things start from my end... When I was about to be a senior in high school, my mom was going insane because I wasn't even thinking about which schools I wanted to attend once I graduated. I had no clue. I didn't even know where to begin. At that time, she was working at our church in the creative arts department and a friend from church, whom I didn't know well at the time, was interning with the youth department and told my mom about her university a few hours away. Before I even knew what was going on, we were scheduled for a trip to go visit and I was furious. I had a boyfriend bac

Naturally Skeptic

Lately, I have been looking into what many have, especially these days. I have been trying to convert to more natural living. I am always really careful to take everything I read about natural products with a grain of salt because I believe humans were given the knowledge needed for medicine (which, are often made from plants!) for a reason...even though we often abuse it! I believe everything should be done and taken under doctor supervision, especially if it's supposed to treat something major, like a heart condition. I recently had a woman at a farmer's market who tried to tell me not to take medicine for things like blood pressure and such after I told her I believed herbs and remedies were great for certain things, but others needed more serious treatment. I only mentioned it to her after she told me she had some type of a "medical degree", thinking she might understand my view. Definitely skeptical about what kind of degree... I just kind of nodded, smiled,

Coconutty

So I'm on a little bit of a coconut kick. I saw something on pinterest the other day that said something to the effect of "if you have issues with your hormones, coconut oil can help!" and it talked mostly about hormone issues with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which is another crazy condition I have. That one is pretty common among women, though. It's no big deal for me, but it can be for some women. I thank God for that one. The person said to just drop a dollop of the oil in your coffee in the morning and you get the benefit without too much of a taste change. Also, coconut oil has natural fats that your body needs and it actually can help your body lose weight . Yeah. Fats that make you lose weight. Cool, right? Also, I really like coconut, so this is like candy for me! Coconut oil has also been proven to help with memory (especially EVCO when taken on a daily basis) and while on Topamax I need all the memory boost I can get! It can get a little rough some
