Post 25 — We Looked Away for a Second and January Happened
⏳ How Is It Already a Month Later?! It honestly feels impossible that it’s already been a full month since our last blog, but here we are. Between the holidays, New Year’s, settling into 2026, and Caleb heading back to Texas (again), life has been moving fast — like blink-and-you-miss-it fast. The days have all kind of blended together in that way where you’re constantly doing something, but barely have time to stop and process it until suddenly weeks have gone by and you’re

Post 23: 🍁 Life Lately: Rain, Goodbyes, and a Whole Lot of Chaos
We know, we know… we say this in literally every blog, but life feels like it’s on fast-forward lately. November has come in swinging, and everything is happening at once. The biggest shift? Caleb has officially ditched us for Texas until mid-December to help his dad recover from surgery. It’s the longest he and Will have been apart since their Navy days — and after the first couple of days, the muscle memory does come back — but for Daniel, Zoey, and Rigsby? This is basica

Post 22: Life Update - 🎃 Halloween, Early Sunsets & Life in Full Swing
Hope everyone’s had an amazing start to November and that your Halloween was just as wild (or cozy) as you wanted it to be. Around here, it was full-blown chaos — the good kind. We handed out almost 300 candy packets and had around 160+ trick-or-treaters show up. It was nonstop from sundown to 9 PM, and honestly, it felt like running a small festival out of our front yard. What’s funny is some of our friends in town said they barely got anyone — even the apartment complexes w

Post 21: 🎃 Life Update: October Shifts & Spooky Season Feels
October has for sure been a month of change for us — emotionally, creatively, and even in our little circle of people. It started with a neighbor moving back to Kansas and then one of our close friends moving back to South Carolina after years in California. It’s weird when people leave your life out here because California kind of has a shelf life for a lot of folks. It’s beautiful, it’s chaotic, but it’s expensive and heavy sometimes. After a while, that catches up with peo
