So thankful...

Today and always for all of the many blessings that my God has given to me and our family.

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.

—Psalm 9:1

We are so blessed!

I'm specifically thankful for our amazing 15 month old son who brightens our world more and more every day, for an awesome family who we lean on all the time and who always delivers when we need them, for a special church family that has welcomed us with open arms as if we were siblings, for our amazing friends that provide moral support, comedic relief, and excuses for date nights, for a warm and cozy place to live, and for a feast that doesn't have to be dairy and soy free this year.

Enjoy your families and friends this special day and BTHO t.u. :)

My #1 packing helper. So thankful he's happy wherever his people, his stuff, and his snacks are.

Xoxo,

We survived!

We are officially moved out of 2708 Monarch Dr. and moved into our apartment (our new home for the next 6 to 7 months). The actual move on Saturday was painless (or as painless as the beat down process could have gone). We've got about 75% of our stuff in storage and are just trying to live with the minimums here in our 874 sf of apartment. It's gonna be fine, and I'm already getting excited to see our new house being built.

I'll be honest. I didn't cry although tears welled up in my eyes a couple of times. There is just something about saying goodbye to the house you brought your baby home to that makes a mama get a little sentimental.

We are so grateful for all the friends and family that helped us along in the process. We ABSOLUTELY could not have done it without you all.
