Happy Fall!


IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!  But wait...... it doesn't really feel like it yet...... NO MATTER! It just means that it will feel like it any day now. I am confident of that. It's kind of like decorating the house for Christmas a month in advance. The anticipation, preparation, and continuous celebration makes the big event last longer. The entire time leading up to it is the best part because you know it won't be over for a little while. I hope fall lasts much longer than a little while! I haven't let myself order a pumpkin spice latte except for the one night it was 54 degrees outside. That seemed to be the only logical and appropriate time. I'm holding out for the upcoming cool days because you truly can't appreciate a pumpkin spice latte without some crisp autumn-smelling air. Yes- there is such a thing as autumn-smelling air. Trust Me! It's better than apple-pie smelling air!

My friend Heather Caraway has a great blog (her life is much more exciting than mine, the Olympus can't compete with whatever photographs she takes with her professional camera, she's wittier, and she has time to actually put together an amazing blog. Don't compare! Please! Will you still come back and read the CubBuster?!?)
Anyway....I loved her weekly poll and just had to include it below. It's not copyright infringement okay! If there's anything I've learned in grad school, it's that you can "steal" lesson plans, unit plans, life plans, and anything else you want as long as you give credit where credit is due. So Feath (Heather) Caraway is the genius behind the fall poll, and now I'm exposing her blog to the 5 people that read mine and probably won't after they see hers, so its really a win-win for everyone involved, except me.

Have a fantastic fall day!

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...
