today I will stress and stress and stress a little more - but tomorrow we get the keys to our new home and that stress will evolve into heavy, all encompassing gratitude.
allow Christ to carry the heaviness, even when it is not too heavy.

A little something regarding the pill.
Birth control. Some people consider this controversial, or whatever, and I don’t intend on persuading you all on going one way or another, but I have recently become (personally) enlightened. I started taking what is supposedly the lowest dosage of a prescribed oral contraceptive about 18 months ago. I was getting married soon & my skin had sucked since I was 12 and I have the greatest...

I remember my hands fumbling in 3rd grade when I first held chopsticks, I remember hearing Japanese, riding a bike, holding a camera, and feeling the shape of your lips for the very fist time. Foreign. My hands tracing over unlearned and undiscovered facets. Nothing about the firsts were familiar.
Over time - while I am not fluent with chopsticks, my camera, or Japanese, my...

Patience pays off, there is an infinite amount of strength in forgiveness, and God is so good.
Exciting Monday stuff.

As we lay down beside each other each night, we are forever separated by your body’s boiling heat, and my body’s frigid need to be drowning in our blankets.

Reminders.
Less stuff. Create more. Capture more. Bake more. Read often. Pray often. Kiss often. Love even more often. Cacti and succulents. Wood panels. Turquoise pottery. Box garden. Vegetables. Kitchen windowsill herb garden. Solid chestnut wood farmhouse table. Mustard colored dried flowers. Mismatched frames. Breathe more fresh air. Hike dates. Bike dates. Piecing together my very own office space. Hand...

I was terribly spoiled this christmas. I am honestly flabbergasted by the love I received this year. whether it be in the form of baked goods from dear readers & friends, a God awful amount of gifts under our tree, unexpected cards in the mail, or phone calls from our families. I found myself shedding literal tears of happiness when the mail came, or when my phone rang some days & I was...
