Today, marks four months since we picked up our life and moved to Florida. I wanted to write today to update anyone that cares, but I also wanted to document simply because each time I go back in time to read an old blog post, it brings such perspective into my viewfinder that I cannot help but to be grateful for all that...
Every morning I grudgedly wake up and head straight for the coffee. Which means I go to the couch and wait for my awesome husband to bring me a strong cup. I bypass the mirror pretty much the whole morning due to the fact that I already know what the reflection will be. Frizzy hair, pale freckly skin and depending on what my...
I have been asked several times since we packed up our whole lives and moved our family of 6 from NC to FL almost 2 months ago, why would we do something so extreme if we never wanted to leave what we loved in the first place. I am guessing those questions arrived from previous Facebook posts about the extreme rain that we've...
Today, we have officially lived in the Sunshine State of Florida for one month. (This is humorous given that it has rained 80 percent of our time here.)

I am on my second cup of coffee and my fifth chocolate chip muffin. I always thought that if I were leaving for a deserted island and could only take one thing that it would be caffeine. This season of living the single life has proven to differ. let's just hope that when I join my hubs in Tampa that the only wardrobe...
It's 5am and I am wide awake. This only happens in my life when I am either 9 months pregnant or I am really wrestling with my thoughts of what God is doing in my life. I am pleased to report that it is the latter of the two as to why I am up writing at this hour. :) I have been...
This morning my husband told me to read Romans 8. Seems like a simple, easy task. I came in from dropping the older two off at their proper destinations, on time of course, which means that when I returned home the tornado of distraction was all around me. Things out of place, dishes in the sink, beds unmade, laundry everywhere. But I was...
