Did you know that International Museum Day is this weekend? That’s right, it’s May 18th. As a former history major, you know I love that holiday. We will be away this weekend camping, but I got a chance to visit a couple museums today with our friends Stephen and Kate who are visiting DC from Portland. The Smithsonian museums are one of my favorite things about Washington, DC. They’re great …
The Washington Monument reopened yesterday after being closed for a few years for repairs from the 2011 earthquake. We are so happy to see the scaffolding gone and the DC skyline back to its usual glory. (I kind of miss how the scaffolding lit up at night though- I’ll be honest) Our friend Jordan stood in line for us yesterday morning to get tickets to ride to the top of …
Happy Mother’s Day to our wonderful Mothers! This year is a rare year that we both get to see our moms the week of Mother’s Day. Believe me, when you live far away from your family, seeing each other the same week of a holiday is just as exciting as the actual day! I spent the week with my parents visiting them in Charleston, SC and we will be meeting …
If you haven’t already been able to tell, we had such a great time with the Redeeming Grounds team in Colombia. We had such a great balance of work, building relationships, and play while taking photos and filming – just the way we like to work on projects! Just in case you didn’t get a chance to follow us on Instagram, or even if you did, I thought I would …
Have you ever been on a Ghost Tour? We have noticed a lot of haunted, historic tours advertised around the South’s oldest cities and my family has checked a few of them out over the past few years. My parents enjoyed a few haunted tours in Savannah, GA and our family joined a haunted cemetery tour when we were in Charleston, SC over Christmas. My aunt and cousins are here …
Have you enjoyed some Mexican food today? I am in Charleston, SC again this week spending time with my parents and extended family. I have really enjoyed soaking up the sunshine – and a few tacos and margaritas as well. Being on the road the past few weeks has made blogging consistently a little harder, but I am up for the challenge! I promise I will get some more ‘substantial’ …
While we are in the process of editing photos and videos I thought it would be fun to share a few ‘tourist’ posts from our time in Colombia. One ‘touristy’ destination that we visited was the National Coffee Park which is located in Montenegro, Colombia. This area of the country is known for its beautiful coffee plantations and, of course, the world famous Colombian coffee that they produce. These plantations are …

You create a style profile, or even a Pinterest board to send to your stylist, and they select clothes that they think you will like.

We just returned from a relaxing weekend celebrating Easter with our families in Pittsburgh. My parents drove up from Charleston for the weekend and my youngest sister, Alyssa, drive in from Ohio too. It was so wonderful to have both of our parents in the same place for a holiday! What a blessing it is to have parents who are friends. We enjoyed shopping at the outlet mall, cosmic bowling, dying …
And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. So you also should consider yourselves to be dead …
