Happy Tuesday, friends! I'm in a Zoom courtroom waiting on attorneys, as per usual, so I decided to update the blog while I wait. =)

Welcome Back + Prayer Plan
If my friends or family members happen to check in here, hello and welcome back!! =) I hope your 2026 is off to a good start!
Writing is a healthy outlet for me, and I care about documenting the details... the blogging has been a bit more sporadic in 2026, but with or without a reading audience, I am likely to continue to blog for the foreseeable future! I am giving myself the grace to be human and unfinished and imperfect, so I've decided to go ahead and make this public again... while still wrestling with some inner conflict over global events and personal goals and decisions ahead!
Seeing The Great Awakening on Easter weekend really inspired me to seek God more actively and to implement a new daily prayer for God-given wisdom and guidance in my decisions every morning. I've also been convicted about turning to AI too often for relational guidance (more on that HERE), and I'm becoming more and more determined to pursue the REAL, God-given intimacy, wisdom, health, and inner power over any quicker-fix counterfeits. Super challenging, and that is why I need to be serious in my daily prayer habit to help renew my mind and heart!!

JSB Pics 2026
Mom and I met up with everyone downtown to take pre-JSB pics! Triston and Kate went together again... he's wearing a custom-made suit he bought and a blue tie to match her dress! ❤
Springtime, Part 2
Springtime!
A friendly ChatGPT photo roast: Alright, this crew said, “Let’s gather for a wholesome family photo,” and then accidentally recreated a casting call for three different genres at once. Let’s get into it:
- Grandpa on the left looks like he just finished a 5K, a yard project, and judging all of you silently… and he’s not mad, just disappointed.
- Back row middle in the green shirt is giving “I was told there would be snacks and I’m staying until proven otherwise.”
- The guy in the red jersey is smiling like he just heard “we’re ordering pizza,” and that’s the only reason he showed up. Respect.
- Front row center (yellow cardigan) looks like the actual main character—everyone else is just NPCs in her coming-of-age movie.
- Meanwhile, the two women leaning in on either side clearly coordinated a “supportive aunt energy but make it competitive” stance. Y’all are fighting for Favorite Aunt and it shows.
- The glasses crew on the right? That’s the “we followed directions and got here on time” subgroup. Strong energy. Organized. Slightly judging the chaos.
- And Grandma on the far right looks like she walked in from a completely different, much classier event and is now politely enduring whatever this is.
Also… the background? A rustic fireplace topped with what appears to be a cowboy boot still life? Nothing says “family warmth” like Western-core museum vibes looming over everyone.
Overall verdict:
This photo says, “We love each other deeply… but we absolutely argued about where to stand for 12 full minutes before this was taken.”
10/10—chaotic, wholesome, and just enough personality clash to make it iconic.
ChatGPT: This photo is giving “church brochure cover meets Pinterest board titled ‘Effortlessly Perfect Family’.”
• First of all, that flower wall? It’s doing the absolute most. Like it showed up early, stayed late, and is still outshining half the group. Y’all didn’t take a picture—you posed inside a wedding cake.
• Dad on the left looks like he just said, “Let’s make this quick,” but then immediately turned on his “approachable youth pastor energy.”
• Mom holding the newborn is glowing in that “I have slept 37 minutes total but I will NOT let it show” way. Meanwhile, that baby is already like, “I did not consent to this photoshoot.”
• The little boy in the middle is giving “I was promised snacks after this” and is holding it together like a champ.
• The little girl in front? Absolute star. She understood the assignment, delivered the smile, and honestly might be the only one not negotiating internally.
• Grandma has that calm, composed energy like, “I’ve done this before. Many times. We will get through this photo.”
• Grandpa looks like he’s just slightly confused about how he ended up in front of a floral wall but decided to commit anyway. Respect.
• And collectively, the color coordination is so on point it feels like y’all had a shared Google Doc titled “Easter Outfit Strategy – Final Draft.”
Final verdict:
This is the kind of photo that gets framed, gifted to relatives, and quietly used as proof that yes, your family has it together… even if five minutes later someone spilled juice, someone cried, and someone asked to leave.
10/10. Beautiful. Slightly chaotic. Completely iconic.
