Our Nest

If home is where the heart is, then I surely have found mine! On good and not-so-good days I still wake up with a whole lot of gratitude in mio cuore for living here. After many little projects and tons of generous hand me downs, it's now exactly the way we wanted it to be! 

 

 

 

When in Rome...

After the most beautiful day ever, my beloved and I departed to the eternal city! We were able to do the mandatory newlywed thing a.k.a. meeting El Papa and tons of other sweet things (daily gelatto included).

We were so blessed to go to Assisi, the place of birth of St. Francis, who has popped up into our lives time and time again ! God is good!

 

 
 

 
 

 
 

Love and Marriage

Hello blogosphere!

As of April 23rd, 2016 I am Mrs. Twaalfhoven!

What a crazy, amazing, easy, awesome month this has been!

A quick recap of our wedding day:

I was blessed to have the most supportive, loving bridal party ever. My girls went above and beyond to make the day just so special! Promptly at 2PM we were married at St James Church, to the sound of the most beautiful music ever. How nice to walk into the church and see all of our loved ones (some were missing ) cheering us on!

My last big accomplishment as Miss Peixoto

Hello world!!!!!


As I write this post, I am proud to say I have finished my student teaching internship two hours ago!

While this has been the most challenging time of my life (exhausting, to be completely honest), I will miss students, staff and the routine of a teacher. I will even miss waking up at 5AM and being so productive.

Now it's back to youth ministry, part-time mentoring work and planning a wedding!

Speaking of wedding planning, it has been going well, thank you!
Not without its challenges (just ask Nick), but we are getting there. All the big things are settled, now all that's left are the details!

As for Thanksgiving and Christmas, all went well, lots of time was spent with family and friends and the house is cozy and inviting! What more can a girl want?

Grace for everything

Hello friends!

Just stopping by to share some engagement pics. Life is so incredibly busy between student teaching, youth ministry (which I'm seriously stinking at right now), the behavioral health job and of course planning a wedding. I honestly cannot wait for April to come! 

News, news, news !!!!!!

Hello world!

Life has been absolutely insane between student teaching, two jobs and planning a wedding!

What?! A wedding?

Why yes, a wedding!

A certain handsome guy asked for my hand in marriage! 

                                                                                              Sept. 26th, 2016


Excitement isn't even the word as every day in bride territory turns out to be full of joys, surprises and even some frustrations (venue searching ehhhh). 

More details to come!!!

One Week into Student Teaching!

Yay!!!!!! What a wonderful week of learning, teaching and sharing! More on my classes and students later but for now, let's just celebrate a week of fun outfits!
