Introductions

Welcome to Fig Tree and Olive. This is me:


I am 25, an avid reader, sometimes writer, music enthusiast, daughter, sister, wife. This is my husband:



Pretty much the most wonderful husband known to man. We are newly weds and in a few months are expecting this bundle of joy:


A little guy named Benjamin. He already has a fire within him and I love it.

This space, though, is not specifically about being a wife and a soon-to-be mama-bear, although that will play a part in it. It's not a how-to, DIY, or place to put amazing tips because, honestly, I have none. Most days it's a victory to have 3 meals and an almost-organized home.

This is a place for growth. It's a space for digging deep and leaning in to life. 

I wanted to start a blog because I want to start writing about what is important to my life, and the only things important to me are that which will last long after I am gone. I want to get to the heart of what it means to be human, what it looks like to follow after Christ.

I am starting my journey to a deeper life. Care to join me?
