Meet Michelle! We met at Regent’s Christmas Village, where she had an amazing booth of Bibles, art, and ornaments. I introduced myself to her, bought a simple wooden nativity ornament from her to add to my collection, and started following her on Instagram and we […]

Meet Brittany and Igor and Baby (bump) Joey! We got married the same summer and she and I met up for coffee one day just after Alvin and I moved back to Virginia. So much of life had changed for us in such a short […]
