This week, Kaleb and I sat down and recapped the highlights and lowlights of 2025—from the terrifying lows (law school denial and NICU stay 😭) to the sweetest highs (baby Duke, our move, and big answered prayers!). We talk through the wild risks we took this year, the emotional toll of change, and what it really looked like to walk in faith even when things didn’t go as planned. We're just trying to give you a transparent look at our life this year. As you step into the next year, we'd encourage you to also take a look back at the past year and look for where God was at work — even if it was a tough one. 💛
