Greenville Visit October 2015

Over Columbus Day weekend my mom and I took the boys down to South Carolina to visit my family. On Friday morning we loaded up the minivan and headed out for a long drive. Never was I more happy to have a van when we could fit everything we needed in the trunk and I could still see out the back window. Oh, and having a DVD player is pretty nice too :)

We stopped at Chick-Fil-A about half way down to let the boys get out some energy. This kid showed off his flirting skills the whole time!

We arrived in Greenville at my aunt Fran's house right about dinner time. She has two boys and saved some of their toys and Canon was very happy to play with these army guys all weekend! We had dinner Friday night with everyone, including Grandmama, Jake and Nick! We woke up to rain on Saturday, but that didn't stop us from having a great day!

Canon came to Clemson in 2013, when he was just over a year old, so this was an entirely different experience. He kept asking to go see the "Football guys" and was really into everything!











Though we missed Tiger Walk, we did wait and watch the band come through. It was SO FUN and totally worth it. Canon was mesmerized by all the instruments and people, he even got to give the Tiger cub a high five!
Right after the band passed us I was hold Canon and everyone started to do our cheer. I couldn't even get through it - looking up and Canon doing the cheer with everyone around us, I totally started to cry. I was so proud and it was such a moment getting to share the place I love so much with my boys!!




My cousin Nick is a senior at Clemson this year and we'll be so sad when he graduates. Of 8 cousins, 4 of us attended (and only 2 of the 8 parents did). Sharing Clemson with my family, when I didn't grow up with it, has been such a blessing!!

We got home in time to watch most of the game on TV and get a few more family photos before it was everyone's bedtime.

Sunday we woke up early and drove to Charlottesville to see Amanda's family. Piling everyone into the van was another favorite moment! Canon and Cole in the way back, Ben, MoMo and Wes in the middle and us up front. Normally when we go places we have to take 2 cars, so until one of us has another baby, we'll enjoy riding together!


The boys in their matching PJs! Cole - 4.5, Canon - 3, Wes - 23 months and Ben - 10 months!

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...
