Our Beautiful Mess bio picture

Welcome.

We are a family of three on the journey of getting to know ourselves and our God. Our life is not neat and tidy. We are learning that it's ok to not always "have it together." Because, in the midst of daily life - the adventures and the mundane, the laughter and the tears, the discipleship and the diapers - God is there. And He is at work. God is lovingly bringing purpose in the chaos and redemption in the struggles. We invite you into our story.  We hope to give you an authentic and honest glimpse of our life as we navigate one day to the next. It is our hope that you can relate to our story, and can better find God and grace everywhere you look. Welcome to Our Beautiful Mess.

 

the sandovals!

So, many of you may know that I come from a family with 7 kids.  Yep, 7!  6 of us are girls and the 2nd to last is a boy.  Well, my one and only bro PJ and his adorably cute wife, Jackie, asked me to take a shot at their family christmas picture.  Well, with 2 active kiddos (Jeremiah & Ava Jane), the shoot didn’t last very long, but I believe we were able to capture a bit of what this family is all about – being together, loving each other, and supporting one another.  Check out some of my favorites from the shoot…

I LOVE this one!  I think the kids look just like themselves!  I can just see Jeremiah’s energy here.

This might be my absolute favorite!  I love the interaction between PJ and Ava Jane, and Jackie’s and Jeremiah’s are too sweet!  (and the baby bump is visible!!)
