  • A growing collection of some of my most favorite things! If you know me, you know I love a good hobby (hi enneagram 7!!) Pottery has been the sweetest surprise over the past two years. There is a real joy when you get to learn something new and create with your hands. In a world that is so fast pace, I’m thankful that pottery slows me down (and humbles me because oh wow it’s so hard).
  • Slowly but surely learning to love this new city of ours.
  • A Veterans Day well spent. So thankful for this guy and afternoons working with the windows open.
