We stayed with my in-laws in Tampa to celebrate Tucker’s cousin’s wedding, and our mornings were a respite from a dull, foggy February - sunny, slow, restful, and needed. 

Let Me Be a Woman by Elisabeth Elliot was my favorite book from 2023. In a collection of letters Elliot wrote to her then newly-engaged daughter, Valerie, Elliot tackles the question “what is a woman?” What she means is, “who am I?” and to answer it, she first askes, “Whose am I?”

Our Engagement Story: If you don’t know us, or even if you do, and you’re curious about how Tucker and I ended up together, please enjoy our cheesy, brief little love story, aptly titled, “That Summer Camp Love,” followed by our proposal story.
