Happy 2011

This will be a year to remember for sure. With all the births, weddings, and career changes, 2011 is bound to be an excellent year for the Blair/Smith family. I was blessed enough to ring it in with some of my favorite people. Lindsey and her friend Adrienne came into Atlanta, and Brittany, James Matthew and I had a blast with them at a great restaurant Two Urban Licks when the clock struck twelve. Actually we only got seated because my fiance has a last name commonly confused with others. We really didn't take someone seat on purpose, but upon stating the entire Smith party was present, we were seated as if we were VIP guests. Our waitress didn't seem to happy to be working though, nor did the woman serving us late night beverages at Cafe Intermezzo later on in the evening. Come to think of it, some people might think it wasn't a great evening at all, but when your company is that which I had, it seems like a perfect evening despite the attitude of those around you. :)   I had a blast girls! Thanks for being you!!!
Happy 2011 everyone!  May God bless you and keep you as you begin a new year!

Um.... yes..... He wore this with pride!!
Thank you James Harvey!

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...
