seasons

come and go. We are IN my favorite season, we are OUT of a rough season, and I'm looking forward to all the WONDERFUL things that are coming up!

Thank goodness there's the ability to change or i would go mad! I still don't always deal too well with changes around me but when you go through a rough patch, you can see change as a blessing!

I'm thankful...

100!

Happy 100 post to me! :) 

Here's some recent projects I've done, that I love! Most are inspired from Pintrest and others from blogs! I like to still add my own touches, so there's a uniqueness to them still :)

My own idea. My bridal bouquet...I will ALWAYS cherish this!

I got this idea from Daisy girl! My idea is to mark the places as we go! I just need to find a frame big enough now to hold it....

And lastly, I saw this idea on andersonfamilycrew! Loved it and now I'm obsessed with wanting to make it for every one I know! :)

Thank goodness for wonderful DYI projects! I love making my home, homey-er :)

More than I could imagine....

...things have changed LOADS! I can't even totally grasp everything! I have a new job, I'm able to breathe easier, I feel refreshed after a jaunt around California, I'm starting to commune with God again (that's been hard for a while...) and I am reminded that I am indeed, loved!

I'm thankful I've kept this "journal" of sorts, for me to realize all the change and be able to look back on it! I will post about our trip in a few days! Glad there's no pressure here!!!!!

 * I saw this on my Mom's fb....sorry, I don't know the source!

All good things must come to an end...

The streak ended this week...my hubs and I were apart for the FIRST TIME since being married! We made it a whole year with out spending the night apart! Now, don't get me wrong, we're not totally attached at the hip, we have gone out with friends or done other things with out each other, just always came home to each other! We love each other so much and just have adored having this time together!

Of course on our first time apart though, there would be an earthquake! I don't get too freaked out, as long as someone is with me! But being alone....are you serious?! I had to call my mum....she lives in another state...but gracefully she calmed me down and let me cry on the phone for a bit.

This time has really put into prospective the love I have for my hubs. The things I value about him. The little things I pick on that are super meaningless :) How much I relay on HIM (like having someone to sit next to in church :) ) I love what he brings to my life. I love that this time has also been a reminder that, I need to relay on the Lord more than MK...but that's hard, cause MK seems so much more tangible some times....

I love my MK and so glad he's almost coming home!!!!!

Thankful

Last night I was reminded of how VERY thankful for our amazing small group I am! I had a nagging headache all day and really didn't feel like going....

The truth is, I was tired of sharing what I feel like, is another douse of "bad news".....(I really did have a headache too!) BUT, they listened to MK and me, they prayed for us, and assured us that they love us, care for us, and aren't turning into "those friends" who do nothing but complain and tell sob stories!

I'm trying so hard to believe in God's grace and sufficiency, I'm trying so hard to actually believe their is a purpose for all these things we've been going through....

I'm trying to believe.

Time of my life!

Family Vaca was SO fun! I will hold all the dear memories in my heart, for a long time! I'm still blown away that we got to go! Now, back to real life.....

Here's a little photo love!

not much...

I'm just gonna say, I'm truly thankful and ready for vacation! It's been another tough one folks....

Here's to lots of hugs, laughs, pictures, and memories!
