Winter, I Embrace You


It's snowing and I'm grateful. 

Life is a beautiful blur of hustle-n-bustle and wonderful things, and I'm so grateful. I'm ready for it to slow down though. 

This year, 2022, was three fabulous vacations, our engagement, our wedding, selling and buying our new home we are so in love with, Brooke & Alex's pregnancy announcement, a gender reveal, a most beautiful baby shower, and my smokin' hot husband turned 60 which cracks me up (he has an 8-pack stomach). 

Life with now six children between us, four son-in-laws, and a 6th grandbaby on the way, there is always something going on, a celebration to be had! 

We fell in love with pickleball, enjoying many evenings a week playing together and with my mom & dad.

Our home, already new and picture perfect, had us wanting to purge and go all new. Custom-made pieces for this home and new furniture arriving and on it's way has transformed our home into us. 

Us, it's a word that makes my heart soar! Life with David is abundantly, exceedingly and beyond anything that I could have imagined. 

I have so much to share and I'm glad life is slowing down. What I mean by slowing down is... it's dark early and cold out so we are not running to make the most of daylight hours. It's more staying in, binge-watching our favorite shows, snuggled on the couch, and him cooking fabulous dinners. 

I'm so grateful for every wonderful event this year has brought to us, but I am ready for less major events, normalcy, and calm. For our free time to be, "what do you want to do?" Less, look at our calendar, what is going on this week. Let's play pickleball (inside now). 

November, I have looked forward to you, appreciate your most beautiful first couple of weeks, and happy you've transitioned into winter. 

Next week is Thanksgiving.
