Congratulations to Tate and all of you!! That's wonderful!!
Can't wait to read your next book, as it will be in long form, which I have been devouring of your writing already. Does that make sense?
Also, yes, please write about why to get off Instagram and TikTok already. But I have a difficulty getting off Instagram completely because the youth group my middle-school-age daughter attends. They post photos of my daughter on their Instagram page sometimes, and I have to then ask them to take them down. So I have to monitor their page occasionally. It's very frustrating, and I don't think it will end. However, over a year ago, I went on Instagram and I cut out about 375 accounts I was following down to about 25. I now only subscribe to accounts that are organizations that are about screen/phone issues (Bark, Jonathan Haidt, etc.) and a couple of friends/family who live in other countries and have no other way of communicating.
What a joyful read on my commute this morning. Cheers to Tate and your family! We moved my oldest kiddo to college last week. I don't understand how because she was born yesterday. Can't wait to read what you share with us all this year.
Tsh, it is a whirlwind very similar to when they are born. We all are trying to give her space to grow and remind her that we are all a phone call away. I am just so dang excited for her!
Congratulations! Must confess to being in awe and a bit jealous as my 30 and 20 years olds aren’t close to getting engaged. My husband and I were high school sweethearts and have been together 30 years and so thankful for finding each other early on. Super delighted for Tate and Brian and your whole family.
Cheers to Tate & Brian! How fun! One of my sons got married this summer to his high school sweetheart. How did we get to this phase of life so fast? xo
It’s so nice to hear from you again Tsh! Congratulicitations on Tate’s engagement. The kids loved looking at the pictures from your post. Remember that the offer stands to swing by for a visit next time you’re up this way! Blessings!
So much good stuff, Tsh! Very happy for you. We, too, now have a wedding to plan. Wild to be in this stage of life.
Congrats to you guys as well! …Isn’t it wild? How are we here already?
This newsletter filled me with so much joy this morning! I raise a glass to Tate!
Thanks, Natalie!

Thank you! And it sounds like you’ve found a way to make your limited time on Instagram very feasible and non-addictive — good for you.

Congrats to you on that milestone, Lacey! It’s quite the whirlwind to be a parent of a young adult, isn’t it?
Tsh, it is a whirlwind very similar to when they are born. We all are trying to give her space to grow and remind her that we are all a phone call away. I am just so dang excited for her!
Wow! It sounds like you've had a red-letter few months. What joy ❤️.
I will be 40 next week, so I am here for the gray hairs, the full, embodied be-who-God-made-you-to-be, and, as always, more Catholic wisdom.
P.S. Tate is your TWIN.
We really have! And happy early birthday — enjoy the milestone!
And yes, everyone says that. 👯
Three cheers for gray hairs!
Welcome back!!
I cannot believe how long your hair is! It looks great!
How can that ‘baby’ be engaged!?!? That is crazy 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your gift! It truly brightens my day.

Thank you so much, Mary!
Congratulations to Tate and the whole family! Oh, I got the movie reference IMMEDIATELY!
We’ve already quoted it SO many times… especially for Kyle: “What’s there to coordinate?”
YEEESSSS!!! Hahahahaaa!

We’d love that, Sarah! Our boys still talk often about your clan. A highlight of our summer, for sure!
