Birthday Weekend in North Carolina

For my birthday this year, Aaron surprised me with a family photo shoot by our favorite photographer, Kevin! He booked us a time the weekend of my birthday and it was the best! We woke up early on Saturday and made the drive down to Winston, only stopping once for a long lunch at Cracker Barrel (which is a road trip must for us). We got to hang out with Kevin and Brittany for a bit at their super cute house in Winston before heading up to Pilot Mountain for our photos. They spent so much time with us and I can not wait to see how they turn out! Here are a few that he snapped at the end on his iPhone and judging by these, I know I am going to love the rest!



We spent Saturday night until Monday morning in Greensboro with Meg and Avery and their family! Meg, Chris and Avery moved back down to Wilmington about a year ago and this is the 2nd time we've seen them since. Meg's mom, Peach, was very gracious to host us and Meg's two sister's and nephew were also around for the fun time. I can't say enough about how much I love this family, they make me want to move down there and hang out all the time!
We went to the Greensboro Science Center on Sunday morning and got to see penguins, monkeys, tigers, a peacocks and pet goats and sheep! The rest of the time we spent playing with all the fun toys in the drive way. Peach and the girls even set up an Egg Hunt for the kids! So cute.











 

 




A birthday weekend filled with great friends is the BEST kind. I am SO grateful for Kevin & Brittany AND the Jones/Smiths! North Carolina is making a very strong case for itself, haha! Happy 31st to me!

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...
