His newest thing... climbing into the sink whenever I'm in the bathroom to get ready. I might've resorted to bathtub faucet water to brush my teeth last night because, well, HE'S CUTE. #marvinthecat #catmomprobs #alcorlife #bepresent #beblessed

Happily belated birthday celebration with highlights of lobsta, 6 fine cannoli options from the area, and his 1st squatty potty. Ohmygoodness! #excitedtomeetyoumaine #cannolihunting #krogerforthewin #happycolonhappylife #everyonepoops #ireallylovehim #obviously #bepresent #beblessed (at Mount Washington, Cincinnati)

6 months yesterday of saying "yes," to drinks with the friend of a friend + trusting that he might be a guy God wanted me to know + seeing the character of Jesus shine through his joy, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, goodness + adventuring together to see and do and be and nom on amazing sights and things and rest and foods + understanding the beauty of partnership and protection and provision of a man who adores me and loves me and asked me to be his wife. "YES." #promised #worththewait #godisgood #lilyofthevalleyismyfavorite #goodgifts #alcorlife #bepresent #beblessed (at Mount Washington, Cincinnati)

The depth to his voice is even sweeter to song. #proudgf #iplayedtherecorder #itwasawful #bepresent #beblessed

Exhausting week(s). #cuddlebutt #marvinthecat #alcorlife #bepresent #beblessed

NJ sunbows and lighthouses and baby pics, oh my. NYC streets and flowers and imagining Strawberry Fields and Guggenheim and more flowers and cookie dōugh, and more oh my's. #alltheadventures #newjersey #guido #taylorham #nyc #alltheprettythings #allthesmiles #bepresent #beblessed

Made it to NJ and NYC, met the mom and the grandma (who has never liked anyone Jack has dated) and the aunt, and had QT with the brother and sister-in-law and nephew and sister and boyfriend, and WE STILL LIKE EACH OTHER. #bepresent #beblessed
