OUR NEW SERIES: Q+A WITH C+A

https://youtu.be/-HK8T13W1Oo

Alex and I have been dreaming this up for a long time now and so I’m beyond excited to announce a new series here on the blog: Q+A with C+A!

A series where Alex and I (together – yay!!) will be answering your questions and touching on topics from a his and hers perspective! The idea for this series was born from all of the questions I get from you guys on a daily basis, so I hope that you’re as excited about it as we are :). Everything from relationship advice to positivity and really anything that you guys would like to hear our honest and candid opinions about!

Today we’re kicking things off with an FAQ video so that you guys can get to know us a little more before we really dive in.

What do you guys want to see us talk about? Comment your requests!

xo, Courtney

  • Loved this!! You guys are so cute! You mentioned that you live by your parents - do yall have a big family? I'm from a BIG family and my fiancé wants to eventually move back to Utah (where he's from) but only his parents and one brother live there and I think any future kiddos would be missing out if we moved away from my big family. Like I seriously can't imagine holidays with just six people when we currently have like 30! lol How did you guys decide on Austin vs Cinci?

    • Aw that's so much fun!! Alex has a bigger fam and I actually have a really small family! Just my brother and I :)

  • So this is heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time for me to watch? I should start by saying that your spirits were destined...can just tell and also in your and body language God's hand guided your two souls together. I had the same god inspired true destined love. We shared 12 beautifully years together and a miracle baby but life has been so unkind and hard and our marriage has seperated. I watched you two and smiled through tears. Thanks for sharing and giving me a sweet moment. May gods face continue to shine on your lives together and your sweet tiny love.
