Hello Friend! I hope that you’ve gotten to enjoy quality time with the ones you love over this holiday season. Yesterday was a bitter-sweet day for me and Ellie.

Home Sweet Home
Today I turned 29! Some might dread the thought of turning 30, not me! I’m soaking up all the lessons from my twenties and running with open arms to my thirties. I have high hopes for this next decade. It’s amazing to me how during my first 20 years I can feel like I’ve barely… Read more »
You May Now McKissack
Hello Friends, I’ve been M.I.A for the past couple of weeks so we have lots to catch up on! Being close to the ocean in San Diego with Ellie and my family was relaxing and therapeutic, need I say more?! I read a great book on the trip called “My Story” by Elizabeth Smart (the… Read more »
Places to Go
Hey there! I’ve been a busy bee. A couple of weeks ago Ellie and I spent a long weekend in Branson with Andrew’s family. We stayed in cabins, went to shows and El went to Silver Dollar City with her grandparents and cousins. It was nice to spend quality time together. My heart continues to… Read more »
Death and Life of a Dream

A Cuero State of Mind
In the next couple of days I will be packing my things and moving back to Dallas. My gut reaction to the move is sadness. I am mostly sad because this was the last place that my family was whole. Also, I truly enjoyed living in Cuero, TX. If you asked me a year ago… Read more »
A Time To Mourn
I’m not going to lie. The past week has been emotionally difficult. I figured based on my personality that the hardest part of this journey for me would come after Andrew passed. What I couldn’t anticipate was what I would feel like each day. I feel like a ton of bricks are strapped to my… Read more »
