The big move!

We finally moved!  It was thankfully one of the easiest moves I've ever experienced thanks to some help from family and friends. Silas was an angel on moving day, thank the Lord, and our first night in the house was surreal. I felt like I was spending the night in someone's nice home. I can't believe we are blessed enough to own a home and have a baby! Crazy.... I'm actually a grown-up now. Maybe...

Well, with the blessing comes some work. We've learned a lot, and I have lots to share (things that are still in the works, things we'd do differently, things that never should have been done), but for time sake. Here's just a quick peak at the outside paint completion. If nothing else, at least our home is no longer flesh colored. Now I just need to plant a tree to hide the church windows. :)

Before:
Hard to see in the pic with Matthew there, but the door was fusia and the shutters hunter green.



The door and shutters are now black with a grey/khaki siding and white trim. Our neighbors thanked us! :)
Instead of doing needed house stuff, we just watch our son develop.... It's not a waste of time. I don't think. It's more fun than this video proves. :)

Oh how your entertainment changes with a baby.

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
