SCOTT AND I BOUGHT A HOUSE! September 8th we drove by this house after stumbling upon it, September 9th we had a showing and 10pm that night finished our pre-approval process, September 10th we submitted an offer andddd they accepted. We are SO EXCITED to move in (close on it) mid October. So overjoyed to have a home to live in and love on. ❤️

I love this home

Here’s the thing... people talk about Instagram being a highlight reel... so here’s the honest truth. Scott and I overbooked our lives this year. That’s really hard to say (because I always worry about people taking it the wrong way) but it’s true. I have over 40 weddings booked, that I coordinate, shoot, edit, and deliver. Scott works a job, while running our other business & finishing grad school. I know a lot of people are busy but here’s what I’ve been thinking about lately..... life feels so short. I want my life to MATTER, not just be this “cool” thing. I tell people I’ve booked 40 weddings and they take that as a GOOD thing, and yes. I am so so so honored to have so many trust me with their wedding and I LOVE my job, but at the end of the year/day/life, did it MATTER? Did it honor the Lord? Did it give me (and us) joy? or did it get us by? Did it serve people the way I wanted it to? Did we do our absolute best or did we just “do”? (Go go go) Idk about you guys, but it feels really freaking easy to just go through the motions of life. I know there are a lot of people who don’t have the option to slow down or take it slower or enjoy life — but try. Take time to yourself. Go on vacations even if it’s driving 5 hours away and sleeping in your car with your loved ones. Get outside at least once a day. If you’re self employed, make a freaking schedule and stick to it so you can GET YOUR LIFE BACK. Strive to be your healthiest self and fight for what you want. Personally I fought so hard to have a business that felt “successful” and now that I’m here, I know for me that means taking on LESS next year so I can better myself and better my health. Anyway. Idk who needed to hear this (probably just me) but take some time to think about life, what you wanna do differently, and what will truly fulfill you. Lastly.... Scott, I love you. Thank you for putting up with my true craziest self. I have lost my mind about 1001 times this summer and I am so sorry. Thank you for taking care of me.

@mnstatefair next year can you do a pass for unlimited visits???
