Since graduating in April, I have been brushing up on my HTML5 and CSS3 – the code behind the look of a website and its main content. After we moved to Indiana and I had a little more time, I also added PHP to my studies. PHP is another coding language that is often used…

The Most Incredible Two Years
Two years ago today I married the most amazing man. We’ve come a long way since that day. For example: They had just called for the Jackson side to realign for pictures. Of course I moved out of the way for their family picture. I was still adjusting after 20 minutes of being a Jackson…
33 Weeks
I think I’ve almost gotten used to being pregnant after 8 months. I have a really hard time remembering what it was like to not have a part of me that runs into things on a regular basis (just when I figure out how much space I take up, it changes). Our little girl is…

Food Acquisition
Last Saturday Andrew and I decided to go back to the farmers market to get some fresh vegetables. We love the open air markets with all the freshly grown food, baked goods, and few crafts (food is the priority in this place!). Farmers markets that last into October are a huge perk of living in…
