Hello and welcome to my blog, Married a Michelsen. My name is Erica, I’m a full time lover of Jesus, a full time wife and a full time worker for a newspaper association as a program and membership coordinator.

I grew up in a small town but currently live in the Des Moines area with my husband, cat (Eli) and dog (Rev). I’ve been blogging for several years as a hobby. I’ve enjoyed entertaining my readers as a lifestyle blogger and telling stories about different journeys that I am on.

Married a Michelsen is about my married life with the most incredible husband, my faith, our newly added adoption journey, our fertility journey and the struggles we have encountered, random fun ideas and our podcast called “Purpose with the Michelsens”

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with the Lord and having small groups, being with my husband and having fun date nights with him, reading, binge watching TV shows, spending time outside–when the weather is nice (I thrive in the Fall!), attending game nights, taking photos, cooking and baking!

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to browse around!
