at the wire...


It's been far... far... too long, but I just realized I almost let 2018 go without a blog. While that probably explains a lot about the year, I had to say something. I'm stealing a post from Jen Hatmaker's instagram today. We had some lows this year for sure, but here are some highs... 

1. Best thing that happened this year: 
We stuck together. When things get tough, it's easy to run, but we stuck together. Steve and I didn't have a ton of time together pre-wedding to work through conflict or practice working together so it's definitely been a "learn as you go" experience. We're still learning, but every time we get a little better, I'm so grateful. 

2. Best person you met this year: 
Lucas Barrett. Lucas was born February 22 and we've spent the last 10 months just soaking up every minute with him. He has been our inquisitive one. We have to work a lot harder to get him to smile, but when he starts to cackle, it's that much more worth it. Lucas was such a low maintenance baby and it was like he knew he needed to cut us some slack so we could spend more time with Britt. 

3. Best thing you pulled off this year: 
Others may disagree, but somehow I balanced the whole "working mom" thing. It's far from perfect, but I pulled it off.
