My parents just celebrated 43 years of marriage! You go Dean + Kim! They were married as young 20-year-olds and have experienced so much of their lives together. I remember when my mom celebrated her 41st birthday and told us that she has spent more of her life married to my dad than not married to him and I thought that was so cool! I still have 15 years to go to get to that point but that's definitely the plan for us too! It has been a gift to learn from them over the years and just be ... continue reading...

Artifact Uprising Disney Photo Books
Peek-a-Boo! We had our first official Ridings family (my side) reunion in 2020. I know, what a year to have it ;) But it was the first one since all the kids were married and with all three grandchildren. There was a lot of time we didn't think it was going to be able to happen but it did!! We went to Disney World and while I didn't love all the changes COVID brought with it, we still made so many memories and had so much fun. It was so historic not just for our family (all 13 of us ... continue reading...
Our Wedding album by Artifact Uprising
Bruce proposed to me nine years ago this very month. Three long yet very short months later, we were married on August 18th 2012!

I've always loved Artifact Uprising (you can see that here!) and their Premium Layflat Wedding Album is just absolutely stunning. I was looking through their site and found myself thinking that it was too bad I ... continue reading...
Our Baby Book by Artifact Uprising
Oh my goodness. I just got around to editing photos we took in October (lol. #mamalife) and my heart may have melted a tad bit. Hilde was so tiny! I remember this outfit - it is one of the 0-3 month ones and now we are rocking the 6-12 month category. Also, she was a sneaky smiler at this time - we would freak out at any kind of hint of a smile. Now here at nearly 5 months, we can get her to smile at us all the time but these little 8 week old smiles are just the cutest. They say babies ... continue reading...
