Changes

Fall is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited that fall is finally here! It's my absolute favorite season and I cannot wait for beautiful weather, hoodies, pumpkin patches and blankets. While all the leaves are changing, there are many changes occurring at our house as well. Earlier this weekend we celebrated G's birthday. We had a yummy dinner at Mitchell's Fish Market and I made him a cake. Happy Birthday sweetie!

In less than a week we close on our new home that we have been building since June. Time has seemed to go by both really slow and really fast all at the same time. We are in full packing and planning mode. I have had bronchitis this weekend so have been of little worth to anyone. Luckily my amazing husband has taken care of our lil guy and worked on packing boxes. I am excited for more space in our new home, but mostly I am excited to help it feel "homelike" since we have never felt that in our current apartment.

Below is a picture of G's birthday cake:

Thankful

I am giving blogging yet another try. I am determined this time not to slack off and forget to post things that are going on in my head and in my life.

The title of this post is "Thankful" because I used one of my all-time favorite songs when coming up with the new blog address. I started listening to Caedmon's Call back in high school and this song is still one that I listen to if I am having a hard day, need to be uplifted, or need a gentle reminder. Here is my current list of just a few things I am thankful for.

-a hard working and patient husband
-an energetic and adorable son
-the new warranty for the tires on my car (after having 3, yes 3, tires yesterday that ended up with nails in them after driving to my soon-to-be new house)
-the new house we are currently building
-the gorgeous, soon to be fall, weather that will allow me to break out hoodies
-playgrounds
-car rides with the windows down
-caramel frappe's from mcdonald's that my mother-in-law warned me about trying!
-my son's active and caring grandparents

For those of you who have never heard the song "Thankful".. Take a listen. Here are the lyrics:)

I ran across an old box of letters
While I was bagging up some clothes for Goodwill
You Know I had to laugh that the same old struggles
That plagued me then are plauging me still
I know the road is long from the ground to glory
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
But you see, I'm running from the very clothes I'm wearing
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase

No, there is none righteous
Not one who understands
There is none who seek God
No not one, no not one

I am thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own

'Cause we're all stillborn and dead in our transgressions
We're shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
So what part can I play in the work of redemption
I can't refuse, I cannot add a thing

'Cause I am just like Lazarus and I can hear your voice
I stand and rub my eyes and walk to You
Because I have no choice

I am thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own
I'm so thankful that I'm incapable
Of doing any good on my own

It's by grace I have been saved
Trhough faith that's not my own
It is the gift of God and not by works
Lest anyone should boast



Until Next Time~K
