Updates

So we've lived in our home for almost two weeks, and my type-A personality couldn't help but unpack every box after one week. There's still nothing on the walls, but I'm trying to remember that's normal. Here are some pics of what we've done so far...

The foyer no longer has wallpaper, but the bowling ball light still hangs with pride.
Our dining room doesn't have furniture yet, but I love the pop of color, since I'm normally a neutral-lover.
New carpet and a fresh coat of paint made the hallway so much cleaner.
Guest bath got rid of the concrete style painted walls. Thanks for painting babe!
Thanks to grandpa and uncle Kevin, Silas has a great, grey room
A neutral nursery that Silas seems to love.
It will be so fun when he actually reads those books
He can't sleep unless he's swaddled up, but after his 2 month vaccines he was out!
Still have to finish painting the master, but our bed fits just right!
The entrance to our bathroom... our major renovation...
We added a water closet. That doorway didn't exist a month ago. Now we just need to paint.
Can't wait to put on the glass door to our new shower!
I've never had such nice counter-tops and sinks in my life.
Besides some curtains, our guest room is ready for guests
Oh except for our winter clothes still not unpacked. But at least they're not boxes.
We busted down two walls to open up our family room
Now you can see the sunroom from the kitchen too
Besides our beautiful fridge and rolling island, the kitchen remains untouched.
The great original bones of our wonderful home
What do you think about the updates Silas?
"I could live anywhere!"

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...
