Arkansas in a jiff!!

So Nick and I drove to Arkansas on Friday... Drove home on Monday... It was a whirlwind of a trip and probably not the smartest idea we have ever had!!! Mental note= take more time to drive!!!!!

Here are a few pictures of the trip. I had 2 bridal showers that were full of family and friends. They were perfect!!!

Driving, Driving, and More Driving

Thank you, Katniss, for getting us 3000 miles!

My beautiful mother and me

My Martha!

My family who made the drip for the showers

(Dana took the picture, but she was there too!!)

Kindness always wins

So on account of I am going to be wed in roughly 4.5 months... I have been thinking and talking a lot with my future spouse-to-be about raising little ones and how to teach them correct things. I found on Pinterest the other day a little something that goes like this..

I really truly want to instill this in my future family. I will be the first to admit that I am too harsh, critical, and judgmental of others when I don't know them, their story, or their life. It is my goal and wish to be more kind... to all. I guarantee that if we all knew what people have gone through in their lives and understood why they are the way they are.. we would be more kind and loving. This is what I hope to do and be... and my kiddos!

Home for the Holidays

Nick and I got to go to Arkansas for Christmas this year!!! We had such a fun time with family and getting to visit the people Nick taught on his mission. It was a great trip... but now back to school!!
