Canon's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe I have a 2 year old! As I sat rocking him last Wednesday night, his last night as a 1 year old, with his legs draped across my lap, I couldn't help but reminisce about all the hours I've spent rocking him in that same chair over the last 2 years. From swaddle, to sleep sack, to PJs and now even sometimes with tennis shoes on, he's grown so much since then! I've said it multiple times, the physical changes that have happened over this year have been harder on me than the previous one's. There is little baby left in my sweet boy, exchanged for a rowdy, wild, sometimes stubborn toddler who loves people, an audience and anything that he can throw! Aaron and I joke that the parenting part of this whole journey is really just now beginning and I'm excited to see what will happen this upcoming year.











For his actual birthday, we started the morning with coffee & breakfast with our favorite neighbors, Meg and Avery. Canon and I played on the playground a bit, I took him by Aaron's school to see his new class, then dropped him at daycare so I could work a bit. I picked him up in the afternoon and after playing at the playground some more, MoMo came over! She brought lots of play food for his new kitchen that we picked up from ILS and then we headed to her house for dinner and a sleepover.

Lest you think we didn't do anything exciting for his big day, we are hosting a Birthday Party/Flag Football Game this weekend to celebrate and I'm sure he will be delighted to entertain all the friends that are coming!

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
