Christmas

Aaron and I went back to the East Coast for 10 days over Christmas this year! It was so fun to spend time with friends and family in Virginia, as well as in South Carolina. Here are some highlights of our trip!

 Mom's Mantel, with the addition of Cole's stocking! 


 Aaron got to put the top on this year. What a lucky guy! 


 "Cupfast", cupcakes for breakfast, with my favorite Alexandria ladies! 


Amanda, Casey & Cole. 

 What a cute kid. 6 teeth! 


 Apparently those teeth are sharp! 


 He is super close to walking!


 Opening his present from the Wilsons!


 Waiting on the women to get ready for Christmas Eve.


 Christmas morning! He got a trike...


 and a music set! drum, maraca and tambourine!


 Aaron got Robert a pipe so they could have some "man time"


 Cole looooves his Daddy!


After Christmas we went to South Carolina to visit family. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from that, but we had a fantastic time visiting with everyone. On our way back, Aaron and I got to spend quality time with Katherine & Jay in Waynesboro, VA. It was so great to see her and her new baby bump! I can't wait to meet baby girl Hawkins in April! 
Then on New Years Eve day, Aaron and I went up to Baltimore to see Camden Yards. We visited the stadium, the birth place of Babe Ruth museum and had a great lunch at Pickles Pub right across from the stadium.

We had a great time, but after 10 nights and 4 bed rotations, we are happy to be back in our own apartment and our own bed! Aaron is already back to school, but I don't start again until the 23rd! Hopefully that means I can get a head start on some reading. Wish me luck!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
