Hello, everyone. So with Coronavirus happening, our initial steps to add to our little family were postponed until now. Since we’ve last posted, I’ve had an MRI and we found out I have a minor case of Schizencephaly.

An Update To Starting A Family
So a couple weeks ago I had a brain MRI because the last time I had one I was 20 months old. Getting a diagnosis so early in life means that your parents obviously know more about the details of your diagnosis until you decide you want to know for yourself. So now, at 30,…
The Lakes Are Moving!
It’s been a hot minute since we posted on here. The last year hasn’t been the easiest, for multiple reasons. One of them being that we are living with my in-laws and it’s hard to feel like newlyweds, living our first year of marriage together, when there’s no privacy and each of us like doing…
New Year, New Changes
Sorry it’s been so long since we wrote on here. Nothing big to report. Now that we’re married we obviously would love to move out of Becca’s parents house but Becca is looking at different job opportunities that would possibly make buying a house impractical right now.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

However, our apothecary only focuses on skin care, bath salts and candles. So I’m always looking for all natural cleaning products…
Christina’s Thoughts – A Week After The Wedding
We’ve just gotten married. The buzz of excitement is still humming in our bodies. But now its been about a week and we’ve started getting back to your normal routine. It’s actually a huge wave of high and “not so high” emotions. For months and months we’d been planning and paying and couldn’t wait to…
Snowfall, Pumpkins & Hot Cocoa
Today, Becca and I had plans to go to a local pumpkin patch and then carve pumpkins. Our plans were almost foiled by a snowfall that came out of nowhere! It was a rain, sleet and snow mix and there were heavy winds. We wanted to make the most of Becca’s last night off of…
