Weekend in Wilmington

This past weekend I took the boys on a solo trip to visit Meg, Chris and Avery in Wilmington, NC! It was a looooong drive down on Friday evening (about 7 hours total), but it was totally worth it. 

These sweet boys. I can't blame them for their behavior on that long drive, but they were both very happy to be stretched out to sleep once we got there. 

Meg, Chris and Avery lived in the apartment right next door to us for a year and a half. Avery was 10ish weeks when we moved in and Canon was 14 months. It was the best. Just like in college, we would knock on each other's doors to just hang out and have each other over for impromptu play dates and meals. Meg saw me at my best and worst, as well as my apartment at its best and worst. She was there when I found out I was pregnant with Ben and was the first one to see him when we got home from the hospital. Friendships are so hard to build out of college because you have to plan for them - I can't say enough about what a BLESSING it was to have someone there all the time to hang out with! 

So, we woke up Saturday morning and lazily had some breakfast and coffee before heading out. After quick stop to Avery's preschool's fall festival (which turned out to be a craft bazaar complete with "attic treasures! haha) we headed down to the docks to meet up with her parents. We were so lucky that the weather was amazing on Saturday - sunny and warm enough to go out on the boat! We had the best time splashing around and finding crabs, sticks and treasures in the sand. Peach and Pop, Meg's parents, were so nice to take us out and play with our kids! 










We rested up during afternoon naps, watched a little Clemson football (GO TIGERS! #1) and then headed out to dinner at Oceanic restaurant. We sat on the dock, there was live music, Peach and Pop joined us again, and the food/wine was fantastic. It was the best evening. So relaxing. 
Sunday we went to Port City Community Church with them and again, had the best time. What a great place. The sermon spoke strongly and I'm awaiting the recording to come out so I can take some notes. 

I am so grateful for Meg's friendship and the time we got to spend together. We picked up right where we left off and it hardly seemed like it had been 9 months. It is so refreshing to have a friend to share the ins and outs life because we were actually doing life together. I love you friend and can't wait to be back!

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...
