this morning didn’t start according to plan. the alarm was reset for 20 minutes after we were both supposed to rise. when we managed to finally roll out of bed i scurried downstairs in a rush to quickly make food for the husband’s day in the office and brew a pot of coffee.
only i forgot [...]

the start to our day
making this my life
after years of spending every single day under the direction and oversight of my mums, i suddenly found myself at the magical age of 18. it appears magical because you’re encouraged to try spreading your wings a bit, however that may be. some get jobs, some commute to community colleges, some move states away for [...]
home
after a week of house/dog sitting at my In-Laws i just walked through my front door, arms full of things that were needed for a whole week spent away.
it’s the small things in life, but today, for the first time, i didn’t view this big green house as simply the place i moved to a [...]
He’s doing.
i don’t always like when He starts opening bits of my heart, revealing the areas of weakness.
but how i like the change that comes when i humbly ask for His help to overcome.

friday favorites
my kitchen.
what newlywed starts out in such a luxurious space? i’m particularly fond of my baking corner.
sprinkles & color.
the husband asked if i could make cupcakes for the youth meeting tonight. they’re nothing fancy but they’ll taste good and i had color to put on top! i do love color!

i’ve read a few books lately [...]

the sun is shining, bringing my home’s temperature up from it’s typical 65 to a boiling 70.
tonight is a homemade macaroni and cheese sort of night. that was my requested birthday dinner for years. no, it’s not my birthday but i still want it.
my hands are dry and cracking in the worst way possible. it’s [...]

sometimes the husband is late coming home from work. i’m left hanging in the kitchen surrounded by the aromas of an almost-ready meal which makes my mouth salivate and my tummy start to rumble (no, i never read winnie the pooh).
all this is everything sad.
a picture sort of update
with the gift of a new camera for christmas there’s been much fun documenting random bits throughout my days. the husband said, “you are so strange,” when he saw me taking a random photo of our dinner table last night.
i already knew this.
we’ve been here for 2.5 months and in that short amount of time [...]
goodbye, little baby.
(via)
on christmas day we said goodbye to our tabolt baby. everything seemed fine until suddenly it was all very, very wrong and i knew it was over.
i felt helpless. i felt such sadness. and i felt such peace.
even there, in the midst of frustration and disappointment, God can be found.
He’s faithful like that.
all is right
i’m home in my big green house. i’ve found a comfortable place on my couch with a favorite quilt to keep me warm. a good book and cup of hot chocolate are with me. in the background i hear my daddy and littlest of brothers playing a game in my dining room. the mums starts [...]
