new things

I feel as though I need to put up one of those signs like they do in the mall... "pardon our dust"
it has been crazy around here lately! A lot has changed and thankfully I can now say, after much worry and wonder, it has changed for the better.

Completely out of the blue I got a job offer that I couldn't pass up and I am now working as a graphic designer, in an office, 5 days a week... again. After 2 years of freelance work, I'm learning what "business casual" means all over again. Yes, the new job required a shopping trip. No, I didn't complain. My schedule is 9-3 which still allows me afternoons with the little man. That's the best part.

So between starting a new job and closing another business, my head has been spinning. But let's be honest, it's been spinning since our precious monkey of a child came into the world a year ago right?

Speaking of that monkey... we had his birthday party on Saturday. It was so much fun. I was really blessed by all of the sweet friends and family who came to celebrate with us. Oh how the year has flown. I swore I wouldn't be so cliche but that's the only thing I can say.

light. speed.

here's kind of how it went down.







It didn't help that the poor munchkin had a cold! But photo evidence aside, I think he actually enjoyed it. Especially when his grandparents rescued him from the festivities and pushed him in the swing. His very favorite place of all.

Amy, if you're reading this... the birthday crown was a hit. AND we (mom) managed to keep it on him somehow!! ;o)

how I feel today

Psalm 116

1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.


2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave [a] came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"

5 The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

6 The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.

7 Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.
