frustrated!

Ugg...so frustrated with technology!  I spent a lot of time writing a review of my April Showers Bring May Flowers umbrella creation and somehow when I went to save and publish I got a blank screen and it is gone.  I tried to undo and refresh and try again and there is...nothing.  boo.  Maybe I'll have more time to redo it...maybe I will not...but for now I have to go be momma to a special little guy.  I know you understand.

{Monday Motivation} Nothing

Hello dear friends!
I did not anticipate being gone from blog world so long but life has been in full speed this month! Husband and I returned Wednesday from a vacation to the Smoky Mountains. It was our first vacation without child and it was wonderful!  We are so very blessed to have supportive family that made the trip possible.  A big shout-out to Grandma and Granddad for coming to our home and keeping our little love in his comfortable living arrangements and spoiling him crazy while we were gone.  Vacation photos and stories to come in future posts.
Unfortunately last week we also experienced a tragic death in our family that resulted in traveling to my hometown for the remainder of the week to attended services and be with family.  It has just been a whirlwind of emotions!  And to top off the beginning of this week and transition back to 'normal' the dog got sick all over the living room carpet today so I got to spend a portion of my morning today shampooing the carpet! Yea me!

As previously mentioned the events of this month have also initiated a lot of emotion: joy, frustration, disbelief, anger, suspense, excitement, and anticipation. Emotions are real and raw and we must be able to identify them and be able to process and cope so that we may grow into the individual God has created us to be. I am so thankful that through this life journey; in the mountains and valleys, God promises nothing can separate me from His love. 

like woah!

Happy May 7th! I figure sporadic non-traditional greetings are better than none! You were probably expecting to hear from me sooner this month, but honestly it has been a bit crazy the last week or so in our house.  We have entered into the whirlwind of husband completing residency, signing job contracts and house-hunting all in the middle of the seasons changing and wanting to be outside every waking moment with my boy enjoying the sunshine!  Not to mention wanting to cross items off our bucket list as we realize in less than two months this will no longer be our 'home'!

In the midst of it all, God continues to show Himself in the details!  Proverbs 31:25 is my current inspiration and truth that I am clinging to in these months of transition.  Please keep me and my family in your thoughts as we prepare for the future!
