I was listening to a podcast this week about raising teenagers. The host mentioned that she remembered feeling physically exhausted she was when her kiddos were little, but now as teens, feeling mentally exhausted with all the things that she has to think about. Questions ranging from Are they making the right friends, to are they BEING a good friend, to have I prepared them well for xyz. Having a 13 year old, I am just beginning to feel this way, and quite frankly there are days I would rather go back to the physically exhausted days! Any other momma feeling me, or am I just plain crazy?

Well… that sure went fast.

It feels like just yesterday we were dropping Lydia off at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, wondering what these next few years would hold for her. Today, we’re celebrating her graduation with a degree in communications.

Watching Lydia grow into such an incredible, Godly young woman has been one of the greatest gifts. Through her time serving students with Cru, she has poured so much love, encouragement, and faith into the lives of others. She leads with kindness, serves with humility, and cares for people so deeply.

We are endlessly proud of the woman she has become and so excited for this next chapter as she begins working in HR with Mayo Clinic in Wisconsin. There’s no doubt she will continue making people feel seen, valued, and cared for wherever she goes.

God has been so faithful through every step, and we can’t wait to see what He has ahead for you, Lydia.

Becoming an entrepreneur wasn’t easy. It took a lot of hard work in understanding what I wasn’t good at before understanding what I was good at. I failed a lot in the process.

We often only see the good things and success stories on social media, but getting to the point where we are confident in ourselves and our work takes time and lots of failures. Trust me. 25 years and still working at it!!

Spring at Lake Harriet gave us the dreamiest backdrop for Lindy + Arend’s engagement session. The blooms were at their absolute peak, the flowers were full and vibrant, and every corner felt like something out of a painting. These two made the whole evening feel effortless as we wandered through all the beauty that comes with Minnesota spring.

Now we’re counting down to their September wedding, when the scenery will look completely different filled with rich autumn colors and falling leaves but just as beautiful. I cannot wait to celebrate these two in a whole new season of life together!

If you’re recently engaged and dreaming up your own engagement session or wedding day, I’d love to connect
