Are any of you as stubborn as we are? Do you have a hard time seeing your spouse’s view? 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏼♀️ I USED to struggle with thinking that my way was the ONLY way. Yes, I said used to because it’s something I’ve worked really, really hard at. During our 15+ years of marriage, I’ve had to learn how to listen to Casey’s perspectives and see them as his truth. It’s his opinion, views and feelings. It’s the way he’d do things. He definitely does things differently than I do but that doesn’t make him wrong and me right. Part of my learning this was to remind myself that him and I are unique in our own ways and as much as I would love him to be just like me at times 😉, I cannot allow my pride to always stand in the way. 👉🏼 So if you’re someone who is always wanting to get your way, or wants to prove their point no matter the cost, it’s time to learn how to be open minded. Self-aware people are better at understanding and even accepting others influence. I would even challenge you to rate yourself on a scale of 1-10. 10 = highly self-aware and willing to listen, and accept influence from your spouse. 1= prideful, wants to have things your way, and quick to prove your point. Be honest with your rating.

I remember when you proposed to me. It feels as if it just happened yesterdays. The memory will always be crystal clear because that was the one time you were so scared and nervous! I could never fathom you being afraid of anything - it was so, sooo endearing! It made me love you so much more. Fast forward to today and I still feel the same way. I'd still say yes a thousand times over. In good times and even more so when we face challenges. My ride or die. 14 years together, 10 years married, blessed with Maddie Sue and Sadie Ann. It just can't get any better than that. Here's to us. Happy Anniversary!

The storm has passed with kjs teething lol I’m finally happy and sleeping again, kennys loving his job, audreys doing great in school and my family are all alive and well 🙏🏼 I’ve got a family reunion in Texas coming up in our future not to mention my plans on FINALLY seeing the Rockefeller tree once it’s up... I miss my family but we talk everyday just about. Life is good for now. In an instant things can change so I’m just spending the rest of my year and the year to follow worrying about improving myself as a mom and wife 💖

Thanksgiving is just hours away!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year, I'm especially thankful that I jumped into obstacle training! Not what you expected? Me either when I started thinking about this question 🤷🏽♀️ not only has it helped give me some insight on how to handle the obstacles life throws at me, but I've met some amazing people and training is something I can do with my hubby as a team!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, obstacles take physical strength, but mental strength as well. One of the most eye opening experiences of my life happened out of the blue! I was at the Dallas
@americanninjawarrior taping this spring, and I'll never forget the shock I felt when the show-runner walked right up to me and asked if I wanted to try the course! Never in a million years did I think that would happen! I'll never forget my reaction for the rest of my life: paralysis. Totally and completely. A fear that chilled me down to the bone. That moment changed me forever, but I refuse to let it define me, but I'm still working on not being ashamed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last week I heard the most inspirational quotes from a fellow ninja, "feel the fear; do it anyway." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You'll always be scared of something new, it's how you respond to it that matters. Take a deep breath, and charge on!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are you grateful for this year Thanksgiving?

Without communication, we can make some pretty unfair assumptions about what our spouse is thinking, feeling and needing. Not fair!!! And not healthy!!! Simply ask your spouse what’s going on. Some examples: 🗣”Is there anything you’re feeling that you wanted to share?” 🗣”It seems like you’re angry and I don’t want to assume you are. What’s going on? Talk to me.” 🗣”Lately I’ve been feeling disconnected and wanted to check in with you.” 🗣”I really don’t want to have to make assumptions based off of your body language and attitude so can we sit down and have some time to talk?”

😩 ohhhh so tired!! Why? Well, we just got a puppy this week! Yup, our home just got a little more lively. Yes it did! I know... you’re probably wanting to see some cute puppy pics, right?! Hang in there. We’ll share some shortly!
•
Last night was the first night with our new boy. He screamed and cried ALL NIGHT LONG!! 😩 Laurie and I even had earplugs in! LOL - It was a ruff (<— see what I did there 😉) night to say the least.
•
But you know what? It won’t be this hard forever. We know we’re in a difficult season that will last for a while, but not forever. This is going to challenge our relationship together, as well as our parenting. It’s a whole family deal!
•
No way we would have been able to take this responsibility on if we weren’t intentional about doing it together. We’ve learned so much over the recent years and I believe we’re able to navigate seasons differently now. This is just one example of {WHY} doing life together,
#marriedlife , just makes sense. We are better together. We are better connected. And our marriage is better because of it!

Please be praying for us as new puppy parents!!!

I spent all last evening at the hospital taking care of patients and then I spent all day at work today. Feeling a little run down, I was eager to pick Owen up from preschool to spend some time together. I made him a healthy dinner, gave him a warm bath, and together we read his favorite book, The Polar Express. Then, as Owen was starting to fall asleep, he whispers, “thank you mama”, and I said “for what, baby?” and his reply was, “for always taking such good care of me. You’re my best friend”. 😭😭♥️♥️

Whaaat?! A family photo where all members are facing the camera...and smiling!!! We deserve a prize 😉 We had so much fun but their was definitely chaos 😬 My parents are the absolute BEST!!! They took my brothers, me, and our families on a 5 day trip to Disneyland. We had 12 people on this vacation and if you've done a multifamily trip it can be a pain (bi*ch 😉) to coordinate. Oma and papa are the absolute best! They took our kiddos 2 nights so Andrew and I could ride the big kid rides. We are so very grateful for them. They are truly selfless and our kids could not love them more. We all had so much fun. Today the kids were like when are we going to Disneyland today...I wish kiddos, I wish ❤
