lately...

 we are neck deep in our move.

the closing date has gotten pushed back

once.

hoping that's the one and only.

we are supposed to close monday now.

i am having some trouble

focusing on all that needs to be done.

the crazy person in me can only

think of decorating and decorating only.

there are so many other things

that need to take priority over that

but that is all that's on my brain.

i'm having trouble coming up

with some kind of plan.

when you have moved,

what did you do?

did you plan each room?

did you let stuff land where it may?

did you buy new furniture?

did you spruce up your old?

i'm so unsure about all i want to do

and so feel like i need a plan or list.

i am a list person.

and the paint.

lord the paint.

like i said,

i keep being drawn to white,

however,

i'm so nervous that the white

will make it feel like we are still

renting.

any advice from all you people

who have moved,

built, or bought

a home would be welcomed.

lately...

i am dreaming of vintage.

i went antiquing last weekend,

i know, with all the packing i have to

do that's the last thing i should be doing.

i went to find supplies for my closet

renovation but left without that.

i got this awesome piece for a great price.

i repeat great price.

it will find a home in my kitchen.

lately...

i haven't been seeing my boo.

he's been working.

i've been working.

our paths have crossed

very few times lately.

i hate when it gets like that.

with his job, 

there are many days when 

we are coming and going at

different times and we barely see each other.

we were able to go to church

together a few weekends ago

and then went eat and hit up target.

it was fun.

it's the little things

that i enjoy with him.

we got this cute photo

that i have plans for in our new bedroom.

lately...

i've been wanting to blog tons.

i've been reading artful blogging.

i love that mag. 

it's full of blogging inspiration.

i will someday spruce this blog up

and be more consistent.

for now,

it will serve it's purpose

as a journal.

i recently went back and looked

at old posts from my blog years ago.

it's crazy how my life has changed.

it's crazy how much i have changed.

i think that's what i love most

about blogging.

it helps to keep track of your life

and the random little memories

and thoughts.

i'm hoping to have lots

of before and afters,

and maybe a few DIY things

once i bust loose in that house.

hoping that will add more

content.

lately...

i've been using my keurig.

oh yes indeed.

almost every morning.

and i'm liking it.

i have been drinking the blonde roast 

from starbucks and it rocks.

i know it's so silly to blog

about that but my family is always

ragging on me about my starbucks intake,

so there!

i can drink coffee from home.

:)

lately...

i am so in love with the big man

upstairs.

i am so at peace.

with my life,

my path, the place i am in.

that is huge for me to say.

i have always struggled with inner peace.

it's crazy how the more you give him

the more peace it brings.

even for a control freak like me,

giving him the control has proven to be 

the biggest blessing.

he is so so good.

so good.

my life is far from perfect.

so am i,

but boy he just continues

to wrap me in his arms and

let me know he's got my back.

hope i didn't bore you all to tears.

i know the post is so random,

but, oh well, that's the blog.

happy happy wednesday!
