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 [...]

a picture sort of update
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 [...]
bits and pieces
my life seems rather small these days, which i’m very okay with. there aren’t many/isn’t much demanding my attention and i’m perfectly happy to go from one day to the next in this quiet fashion i’ve recently discovered. i realize that it will eventually pick up so for now i’ll enjoy my slow mornings of [...]
looking a bit like christmas
sometimes i stay in my pajamas until very late in the day. sometimes i make pumpkin bread, do laundry, clean my kitchen, and sit and blog in my pajamas. sometimes i pack the husband lunch and send him off for the day with a kiss in pajamas. sometimes i catch myself whispering, “is this really [...]

i’ve said this before and i’ll say it again: i was surprised by the meeting of my now husband, was [...]

it was a sick sort of sunday yesterday and today is a sick sort of monday. it matches the damp, grey day that we had and i’m thankful that i wasn’t missing sunshine and warmth as i spent my hours drinking water then juice, taking vitamins, keeping track of my temperature, and sleeping as much [...]
“home” for thanksgiving
two pumpkin pies (that look like they needed more filling than what was allotted) and two loaves of cranberry bread are cooling on my island.
in 24 hours i will be packing those baked goods and bringing them with me to the hustle & bustle known as 1942, my childhood home. hugs that are familiar, kisses [...]
snow time
last night i drove my first stretch of road this winter at 40mph, eyes focused in fear that the car in front would suddenly decide to stop and i wouldn’t be able to make out his break lights in time. the winter snow kept coming throughout the evening as we ate a late dinner, cleaned [...]
bliss
we’ve been doing this “bliss” thing for one month now. you could say we’re still in the honeymoon stage and real life hasn’t hit us yet and i realize that, but i’ll just say that bills are coming in, regular schedules have hit, and we’re still only happy, happy, happy. i married the best and [...]
