My heart has been hurting.

2020 has been hard. Things happening in this world that I never could have dreamed of. Things that make me so grateful that this life is not our permanent life and that Jesus has the most perfect home waiting for us. Still, it makes this world feel even more broken, doesn’t it?

I don’t understand why there’s racism. I don’t understand why there’s injustice. I don’t understand why there are bad people. I don’t understand why kids have special needs or die of cancer. I don’t understand why why whyyyyy.

What I do know is Jesus sees every single one of us. He sees each and every color and knows that YOU are beautiful. YOU are made whole in HIS image. YOU were brought to this Earth for His purpose. Love your neighbor.

I’ll say it again- LOVE. YOUR. NEIGHBOR. (Even if they’re Black, White, Asian, Latinx, purple, green, neon, glitter- whatever)

Ps- any of our African American readers and friends- this house runs on love, tacos, and essential oils and we will ALWAYS have a door open for you.

Perfect weather means pool time! What have you bee

All smiles because we officially finished Kindergarten!

Addie had her last school day today and in true Addie form- slept through her last session, woke up as we unbuckled her from her chair, and started laughing.

Her teacher has been amazing and we are so grateful for all her hard efforts. Addie isn’t an easy student (thanks, epilepsy) but her teacher worked hard all year to make sure she got lots of learning in!

So proud of my girl even if she is a big stinker! Ps- go check out Stories to see a picture of Addie’s first day of school and today’s last day, compared!

What brings you joy during tough times?

When I look at Addie I always wonder what’s going through her mind. She is always just so joyful! It makes me think of James 1:2-3 where it says “Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” No matter what trials Addie faces, she does it all with joy! What a gift!

I struggle with turning trials into joy and I’m sure I’m not alone here. During difficult seasons of life it’s just downright hard! Having a type-A personality, I’ll tell you though when you actually give those hard times to God and choose to trust Him, that’s where the good stuff comes. That’s where you’ll find the joy.

Right now I’m finding joy in Jesus, knowing that there is so much more after this life is over, that we have a roof over our heads and full bellies, amazing family to lean on, and so much love in our home.

Have your kids finished school yet?

Addie is finishing her last week of school and her teacher dropped off a project they worked on all school year! Addie and her teacher (and her nurse and daddy who helped during the year) decorated a different letter of the alphabet as she learned about it. Her teacher put each one in a binder with a picture of the ASL sign of the word so Addie could use it all summer and forever on to learn her alphabet! (Ps- this is O for Olaf hehe)

Addie was very excited to get this gift on her doorstep and I think I’ll even use it to practice learning my ASL this summer! Only one more school day left for this girlie and then she’s officially on school break!

Sometimes you just need to dress up and go on a date with your hubby!

It’s been probably a year or so since Mathew and I have been on a true date. We finally said we needed time together JUST us, and had Sugie and Pops watch the kids while we got dinner to-go and ate in the car overlooking the lake. Not the fanciest date, not the most expensive date, not the most adventurous date, but probably one of my favorite dates ever. Good quality time enjoying each other’s company without the worry of a kid having to go potty, loud music in a restaurant, or Addie needing a random emergency trach change in a restaurant (totally has happened before!) So glad we got out tonight, even if it was a date in the car 😍
