We’ve received dates. Our days here are numbered and in less than a month, we will be on our way.
Before we end up in New Mexico, we will be making a 3.5 month detour–staying in different locations and living out of suitcases. We’re also hoping to go on a honeymoon before all of that [...]

land of enchantment
My mom grew up in the “big city” and so when it was time to go back to school shopping, we always went to the “big city”. When I was in the 7th grade, we saw the tall socks look in all the stores (it was all the rage, dontcha know?) and so Mom got [...]

end in sight
Friday is the day. We find out what Linus’s next assignment is and where we will be living. We could move in a month or a year. There are nearly 15 different possibilities.
Seth and I have discussed this day at length. While our initial response was anxiety, we came to realization we want to go [...]

The strength to climb, my griefs to bear
This Savior lives inside me there
In Your love I find release
A haven [...]

brrr…
I love, LOVE, cold weather. And while it’s back to uber warmth around these parts, I’m really wanting to relive the ice storm we had last week.
The view from behind my furry hood displays the ice in all its cold, slippery glory.
My sweet husband picked a flower for me.
I love the facial expression.
Isn’t he so [...]

treasure
Seriously, the coolest chick just sent me a spectacular gift.
Ok, I kinda won a giveaway…kinda (it had something to do with killer beads and a bad joke). But the truth is, she’s just really generous.
Not only did she send such a generous gift, it also was wrapped with such care. Truly, it made me feel [...]
