Closing day!

Hooray!! Today we close on the house. Thank God. It has been a long, not so great, wait. But it's here and I'm thankful! I can't wait to show y'all our new house! I'll share the pics from the actual listing once we close. 

I'm really planning to go with a farmhouse theme. I love the feeling of peace it gives. So any ideas you have I'd love to hear them!

The house we decided on is actually in town. The backyard is a little less than a half acre, so we still really lucked out as far as land goes! It's such a sweet little ranch style home. It already feels like our home so that's an awesome feeling! 

It's not the farm I was hoping for but things worked how they should, I may just have to build my farmhouse in a few years! I'm sure my husband will be thrilled to hear that! Lol

Thanks for thinking of us on this wild ride! 

Absent.

 That's pretty much how I've felt lately. A little disconnected from reality. Moving has kinda sucked my life out slowly. Moving is hard. Changing things is hard. It really doesn't matter how excited you are, it just still ends up being plain ole  hard. 

I don't want to complain here, I'm so thankful for all the opportunities God has given my family. He has shown up in this hard season. 

But more than that I think he grew me. He grew my life and world view a bit. I know it sounds silly, but when you are waiting and expecting God to show up, and he does, your eyes see things differently.

Brave. That's how I would sum up this move and gosh, that's pretty awesome. 

We finally close on our house this week. 

I can not wait. Whoever thought it was a good idea to stay with my parents temporarily was CRAZY! 

I just do life differently. I raise my kids differently. And ya'll seriously, I need to lay on my couch for one whole day and not feel like I have to micromanage every single thing. 

So here's to being brave. Doing the hard things. Raising babies how I want. Loving my family well. 

I missed this little space of mine. It feels good to be back.  Xoxo

After the move

I'm sitting in my kiddos new school pick-up. Moving is hard. Especially for kiddos who have to make new friends. I feel like we are starting to sort of get into our new routine.

We are staying with my parents until we close on our house because our moving timeline got bumped up so quickly. Let's just say having my family of six stay temporarily with my parents is not my idea of a good time. No matter how much you love someone.

The moving went pretty smoothly. I stayed behind with Benjamin a couple of days to tie up all the loose ends. That actually was nice, I kinda felt like I was on a vacation! Lol

It's pretty much a whirlwind of emotions no matter how excited you are to move. I'm glad that part is over. Now all of our household goods are sitting in storage and y'all I am just SO ready to settle into our space. 

I do love to see all the things happening in our life. What a sweet little adventure we are on. 

Moving Week

It's moving week. Overwhelmed, emotional, excited, tired. I'm pretty much feeling all. the. emotions. If you chatted with my husband, he would probably ask you to pray for me and also send drinks. lol.
I would love to be all done sitting with a whiskey sour. That time will come so soon!

I have a ton of stuff to do and I really need to have it all done before Thursday. So I decided just to leave you with a few of my favorite blog posts of all time. Let me know what you think!

We can't Be friends. Real life right here. My house is clean but usually I have a lot of toys around and clean laundry. Always clean laundry.

The New Church lady  This has some commentary at the beginning, just scroll down to the original post. So good.

When Satan Steals your Motherhood I love this. plain and simple. 

Also prayers and good thoughts for this move to be as easy/stress free/peaceful as possible are so 
welcomed.
