"US"



Im Kendra, I am a wife and currently a student. I am studying Interior Design through the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online, while living in Bozeman Montana. My husband is also a student studying at the University here in Bozeman. I grew up in Bellingham Washington while my husband was spending his time in Greeley Colorado. We met by chance in a tiny town in Montana which is host to a YWAM base (Youth With A Mission a organization dedicated to making God known throughout the world) we were both doing an entry school which was 5 months long. During those 5 months we chatted here and there but nothing really sparked... at least not for him, I was totally crushing. A few months after being home we started randomly sending letters, yep real "you have to put a stamp on that" letters. It was casual just keeping in touch and encouraging each other after this crazy life changing school we just finished. We later both went on staff for YWAM and we dated off and on, lead a team to China and realized we had a good thing going. So after being friends for over 4 years he popped the question and we had a short engagement. 

We were married in my backyard, it was a beautiful simple occasion with only 100 of our friends and family. It was a beautiful season as my sister got married only 3 weeks after us and we moved to Bozeman Montana a few days after her wedding. So here we are three years later still learning what it means to truly love in the way God intended us to love.. selflessly and without abandon. I will say that this is a constant struggle but worth the fight. This blog is about the journey of life, searching to find creativity and beauty in the simple things. Join me on this adventure into open spaces. 


The real "us"... goofy and a little disturbing, but it works
