Our Moments Together in the Kitchen

Marriage isn’t always magic.
But it’s our own kind of miracle.

We’re two people choosing each other every day
even when we don’t always know what that looks like.

Our love unshakable and still delicate.
We drive each other crazy.
We love each other fiercely.
We live through high highs and stay through the low lows.

But when I look at you, the one I told ‘I do,’
I know what it truly means:

Marriage is worth every wonderful, terrible, beautiful, painful, magical, miraculous moment because it’s with you.

We’re in this together.
For always.
For anything.
For life.

Our date night tasting for Our Moments Together in the Kitchen didn’t happen the way we planned.
A winter storm rolled in, plans unraveled, and I found myself staring at a cancellation I didn’t want to make. I hesitated to even ask but out of the blue, I asked for helpers anyway.
And then… a sweet military spouse stepped into my messages.
She didn’t just help me do things she helped me see. She saw the vision we carry for this book before it’s even published. When I shared my heart about wanting a thank-you gift something tangible so people could remember us even though the book isn’t in their hands yet she lit up and said,
“What if one of your recipes became the gift?”
And just like that… a recipe in a jar was born.
She helped print things, drop things off, calm my spiraling thoughts, and gently walk me toward the hard but right decision to cancel. She reminded me I wasn’t alone in it.
The storm did come.
So today, instead of hosting, we cooked. We made the recipe together in the crockpot warm, simple, comforting. (Yes, she got one too.)
I’m reminded again that God is always working in the pauses, the cancellations, the disappointments. Sometimes the gathering looks different than we imagined, but the connection is still holy.
This book has always been about more than food. It’s about community, obedience, and trusting that even when plans change, His purpose does not.
Grateful for helpers, for military spouses who show up without being asked twice, and for a God who turns storms into stories. 💙🙏❄️

Most of us don’t complain because we’re cruel.
We complain because we’re tired.
Overstimulated.
Carrying more than we know how to say out loud.

But what if, before we vented, we paused?
Before we criticized, we took a breath?

Praying for your spouse doesn’t mean ignoring real issues.
It means choosing softness before sharpness.
Understanding before accusation.

And sometimes the biggest shift isn’t in them.
It’s in how we show up.

Embarking on a thrilling adventure for yet another enchanting date night in!! ❤️
Making every day extraordinary!

It’s been a busy week, but tomorrow night is date night and that means cooking with my husband. Side by side in the kitchen, laughing, tasting, and just being present together… this is where our book began. Not in perfection, but in love and intention.

This is our week one reminder.
One day, these meals won’t just be for our table… they’ll be for yours too.

As yall know.
We wrote a book years ago that never made it to print.
Life got busy. Kids got schedules.
Military life(with premoton prep & pinning). Publishing changed.
But the heart never left.
So we’re starting again one night a week, when life allows.
A recipe. A conversation. A verse.
Not perfection. Just choosing each other.
Week one starts now.

We are excited to announce that our first event will be an intimate gathering, limited to three couples. To secure your spot, please register promptly. We will also be taking a photograph for our cover, so we kindly request that you wear neutral colors and arrive with a smile. A recipe from our book will be specially prepared for your enjoyment. We look forward to welcoming you.
