Bringing to life my thoughts.

     I've wanted to and thought many nights of creating a blog, but what for? For my own personal gain? for attention? Maybe a way for our children to look back and see what mama was thinking and going through; an online journal and journey of our simple country, beautiful, blessed life! That was it, simple & sweet just like us. 

     I'm not super-mom or super-wife or super anything, but I do have a Father in heaven who created ME out of His extraordinary image and for a super purpose, though He hasn't fully embraced with me what all that entails. It's a journey, the journey of life. It's a story that He has already sat down and written just for me, just for my husband and just for my children and it's amazing. I see God in every day, in every moment, in every detail, but you have to look for Him, it's up to you find Him. He's there, He's here, He's with us if we allow ourselves to freely open our lives and hearts to give to His purpose. It's worth it!

     I don't expect many will read this, but for those that do, I am real, I am raw, I am different, I am unique, but I am fearfully and wonderfully made and I am not perfect, but I am perfect in God's eyes, we all are. We are all perfect to Him and if nothing else you read from this day forward, take that with you, and those are God's words, not mine. :) YOU are beautiful and loved and joyfully made for a wonderful purpose.

     I plan to post our fun little journey of life here, give updates & fun posts. I'm a full time mommy of three amazing kiddos, Lacey is eight, Brody is 4(5 in May!) and Gracelynn just turned one. I'm married to my best friend Kevin, ten years this year! And I am a full time college student at Liberty University, I'll be a Senior this fall and graduate May 2015 with my BA in Special Education! 

A dream come true on all levels. If that does not sound busy enough, we just purchased our first house in July 2013 and I spend most days(if I can squeeze in extra time) decorating and making it our very own.

Here are a few photos of my favorite people. 

     I'll be adding a lot of DIY projects I'm currently working on, feel free to take ideas and send me your own! I'm always looking for a new project! Our current projects are a HUGE chalkboard wall piece for our kids to be creative with and a new dining set that is 100% DIY with pieces we already have or used. 

This is the home we prayed nine long years for, God blessed us beyond our dreams, it's beautiful and most days I still am amazed pulling into the driveway, this is our little home for our little(big) family. 

My current DIY project, transformation larger dining/seating in a tiny space!

   I look forward to blogging and leaving a journal and legacy for our children and YOU to read and enjoy!
Blessings!!
