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!"

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b

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

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F
