Nothing says Happy New Year like an engagement and a 2026 wedding 💍

I frequently banter with my husband about him being old, which is ironic since I'm only 6 months behind him in age. If I'm honest though, one of my favorite physical features on my husband is his eye wrinkles. They only show when he's laughing really hard - thankfully this happens a lot at our house. It's a cute little sign that he's genuinely living in that moment & truly happy 💛

Every time I notice evidence of aging on him, I'm reminded that I have been gifted the honor of growing old with him. That every single day by his side is a blessing. Occasionally I will think back to the years before him where I prayed for someone just like him & I am reminded of how truly grateful I am for my blessed little life.

This beam of light is such a joy in our lives ❤️

The end of October was absolutely nuts for our family so I’m just now getting around to posting the last days to the blog! Thank you to everyone who kept up with it through the month of October. See the updates here: https://www.graceandgrit.photography/post/october-photo-challenge-2025

Finally getting around to posting some of my photo challenge photos - theme hat & scarf.

I'm not quite sold on hat & scarf season yet, but hoodie season? Yes, please! I'm loving the shorts with a hoodie vibe lately.

Since most of my challenge photos were of the kids last weekend, I decided to take a self portrait today; in my favorite hoodie, with one of my favorite memories from our honeymoon! 💛

Two of my favorite boys heard about my photo challenge and begged to get in front of the camera! Honestly, our oldest boy is most of the reason I buy apples anyways so it seemed fitting.

75 photos later (literally)... I give you my apple theme photos! There were far too many cute ones to choose just one so enjoy just a few of our after dinner snacks this evening ☺️

We ventured to the quarry at 8:30 last night with 2 candle lanterns and I am obsessed with how the photo turned out.

The girls held still for 15 seconds while the shutter captured all the light - stars, moon, lanterns.

Make sure to turn your brightness up to get the full effect and check out the rest of the photo challenge at https://tinyurl.com/5hx9ep34
