Kirby’s 11th Birthday
Today is Kirby’s 11th birthday. There’s so much to say but really all it is is I hate that he’s not here and I miss him. These are the days Kirby should be here with us and he’s not because of one man’s intentional acts. And nothing will ever, ever bring my beloved baby boyContinue reading “Kirby’s 11th Birthday”

Victim Impact Statement
“Damn.” – my husband’s reaction when I read it to him (shortly followed by “that was amazing and incredibly powerful”) In all seriousness, man it is no easy feat to write a VIS! But it’s very rewarding once you do 🤍 To be read at a future, unknown date, in the future (Yeah Court wasContinue reading “Victim Impact Statement”
It’s 3am and I’m reflecting on my story (my abuser is pleading guilty to animal cruelty this week)
It’s 3am and I can’t sleep, but that’s typical these days. And when it’s 3am and I can’t sleep, my mind wanders. And it usually wanders to my story. To Court. To what lies ahead this week.

Those of us who have experienced harm areContinue reading “Romans 12:12 “be patient in suffering””

But my relationship with God and with faith is about peace and love. This song brings me a lot of peace and IContinue reading “The Story I’ll Tell”
the dark cloud is finally lifting…finally ((life update))
Boy has life been a lot. And finally, finally it’s getting better. You know about the hardships of the past few months: Connor’s job loss, my traumatic miscarriage, moving and leaving my beloved school community and home in Denver, buying a house, moving, packing up an apartment almost entirely by myself while my husband closedContinue reading “the dark cloud is finally lifting…finally ((life update))”
Just Because Flowers
Four years ago, I was fearing for my life as I went through abuse. Today, I’m getting “just because” flowers from my husband. I’m grateful and blessed.
Update, hello
Okay I figured I should update bc last post was very “ahh I’m having a life crisis” which was true, but I’m feeling a lot better. Honestly getting into my classroom and starting to set things up has been a huge motivator for me. So, life changes are HARD, especially when it’s everything all atContinue reading “Update, hello”
