Merry Christmas!

This year, I'm happy to be spending Christmas with my little family, though I wish that we could join our families in celebration back in Minnesota. We don't have much this year, but we have been simply enjoying the gifts of each other's company.

May your holiday be blessed and filled with plenty of love, and may you take joy in the little things this coming year.

Merry Christmas!
Love,
JT, Lexi, and Spot

(We hope to keep our families a little more updated through this blog, however, that will have to wait until we get internet in our home! We have plenty of pictures that we can't wait to share with all of you!)

"Maybe courage is not at all about the absence of fear, but about obedience even when we are afraid. Courage is trusting when we don't know what is next, leaning into the hard and knowing that it will be hard, but more, God will be near." -Katie Davis of The Journey

Coming Soon...

In only a few short weeks, I will have the pleasure of becoming a Treichel. We are currently experiencing that phenomenon called "crunch time" and stress has been a little more common than usual. Getting married, even with a simple, backyard ceremony that only your immediate family will be attending, is complicated! I can't say that the Air Force is helpful with that in any way. However, today we found out that one of the biggest stressors as of late is something a lot less complicated than we had anticipated. What a huge relief! I am so thankful that a situation that we thought would take a ton of time will end up taking us a matter of a few hours. It's not easy to get married and figure everything out within 20 days before you move halfway across the country, especially when both parties will be working for a good majority of that time period! 

JT coming home is creeping up on us quickly and I could not be more thrilled. This is one of our longer periods apart (I don't know how I'll ever make it 6+ months!), and we are so close to being together permanently - well, as permanent as you can get with the Air Force. If you're reading, thank you for deciding to put up with us on our journey.

Adventures await!
