Happy Valentine's Day! + Goat cheese and Prosciutto wrapped Asparagus.

What a wonderful day it is. We opted out of the typical 'Valentine's dinner out sitting 1 foot away from another couple trying not listen in on their awkward conversation', and we planned a menu sure to please:

prosciutto and goat cheese wrapped asparagus
garlic mashed potatoes
steak with a special marinade
rice crispy brownies
red Zinfandel.

It was tasty and the company was the best. just: us, our smoky kitchen, the noises from Foster (because we had to open the door to let out the smoke) and the crackling of a million candles lit. I would say it was a perfect Valentine's Day.

I love my new candelabra from my mother in law. It was the perfect accent to our Vday table.

my Valentine.

We ate like royalty and both wore our pink button ups. I just love my man. He let me pick out Lululemon yoga pants and I got him a massage and some gummy worms. (He's easy to please). We don't do presents very often so it was fun to pick something out for him.

So thankful today for all the many many people we love. I started crying praying for our dinner and thinking about all the people in our life who shower us with love. I wanted to share a recipe I stole from Bunco last week at Kate's house, I don't know where she found this recipe, but it's genius, delectable and easy:

Goat Cheese and Prosciutto wrapped Asparagus:

Doesn't that look fancy?

Just cut the Asparagus in half, smear some goat cheese on

and wrap it up! Bake it in the oven at 375 for 15 mins.

The asparagus gets tender, the goat cheese gets warm and gooey and the prosciutto gets crispy. There is really no better combination.

Happy Valentine's Day. Cheers to love.

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair! Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now. Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022. So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST. Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
