First Anniversary!

I can't believe a whole year has flown by. If I had to use one word to describe the past year, it would be... blissfully-blessed. Okay, it's not really one word, but I hyphenated it.
Truly, I am just in awe of God's blessings poured out on our lives. Matthew and I were able to reminisce, relax, and reconnect at Tybee Beach last weekend to celebrate our anniversary. My mom's BFF gave us a temporary stay at her beach house as a wedding gift, and we knew it'd be a great plan to save it for exactly one year later!

It's like it was yesterday! 
This was the view from the back porch!
The weather was perfect!
I was feeling a bit artistic!
(Matthew and I have opposite feet, mine are small and wide, his are big and narrow. It's the perfect match!) :) 
We Smiths love a little competition, and we can't just sit and veg, so we played our favorite beach game - golf holes (we need a better name though). As you can guess, there are two holes about 10 yards apart and you try to get your balls in the opposite hole by tossing or rolling them. It's truly a gentleman's sport!
We ate like royalty too! We made french toast, grits and scrambled egg-whites almost every morning.
Time to read and drink tons of coffee together on the porch was one of my favorite parts!
I was beating Matthew the whole week!!!
Freshly caught seafood made for a great dinner one night!
This is the Robertson's unbelievable 3 story beach house!
We could walk out of our place, over the bridge, and onto the beach!
I FOLDED UNDER THE PRESSURE ON THE LAST DAY!!! UGH

We had such an amazing time. Thank you Robertsons!
I am the most blessed woman on the planet, and I want to thank God for the gift of my husband every day of my life!

Break from the blog

As March begins, often we hope for a great thaw in our land. Now Georgia certainly doesn't have any icy soil that needs warming, but our yearning for more light and fresh newness to keep us from numbing appears universal. I have written on this blog for ten years now. From singleness to newlywed to mama of four sickly, but now active, growing boys. It's been a place for me to purge, process, and pray through some of life's biggest changes and challenges. It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines. I re...

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC
