Home Sweet Home

If you've been following along with our crazy journey, you know that we've moved about 301 times in the last four years.  If you're in the mood for a rollercoaster,  you can read the specifics here :).  Well, it's been almost a full year since we've moved to California and life has settled down enough lately for me to realize how "home" I feel here. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that I grew up here... or that all of my side of the family lives here... or that the sun actually shines here :)... or it's probably just because I've been able to get out of bed and enjoy life lately!  That tends to make a big difference :).  Right before we moved in, the last owner painted all of the rooms either white or a light, light tan.  I have been itching to put some paint on the walls!  So far, we've only painted the dining room, but such is life with chronic pain and a sweet little toddler :) (at least the walls are crisp and clean!!). Now that I'm finally feeling at home, I realize what an amazing gift it can be. 

Speaking of feeling at home, I wanted to share the link to this beautiful blog.  She is a writer who speaks right to my heart with every post she writes.  Her honesty about life as a woman, wife and mother really encourages me- just the music alone brings tears to my eyes!!!  So if you're looking to be uplifted this morning (I mean, who isn't looking to be encouraged?!?!), check her out!
