Retreat!

Ryan and I are currently in Amelia Island, Florida. It is so wonderful!!  I have been in Anderson on a rotation and my preceptor went to a conference this week, so I had a week off. Ryan and I usually take an annual anniversary trip, but knew we wouldn't be able to this year because of boards that I have to take and his company launching a new product around that time. So, we decided to take a trip this week!

It has been a wonderful retreat for us. We needed some time to reconnect, talk and just enjoy life with one another. I hate that we don't do that every day...what a shame! Sometimes making dinner, watching tv and being busy prevents us from truly encouraging each other in deep conversation or taking the time to share a smile or laughter. I look forward to these annual trips of ours so much because it just gives us some etched out time to allow us to grow more in love with one another and reflect on our life journey so far. It is such a blessing that God has given us the ability to take trips like this! 

In other news, I got a job offer from Doctor's Care. I am still trying to decide if I will take it or not. It is a great opportunity with a combination of urgent and family care. I am just praying through it. Please pray with us if you think about it. What is it that God wants from our family? Where should we live? How can He get the most glory? So many questions..but He has all the answers and I have full confidence He will lead us.

Well, back to vacation....Don't be jealous....Just make a little vacation wherever you are today and enjoy time with the ones you love with no distractions!!!

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

Baby Jackson's Nursery

We are awaiting baby Jackson's arrival right now at 39 weeks and 4 days:) so, why not pass the time by sharing a few pictures of his nursery? We cannot wait to meet him and Ryan thinks that with the zoo/jungle theme we have going on in the nursery, Jackson is destined to be a zoo keeper.....we will see! I have had so much fun decorating and putting together his little room and I hope he loves it!!! Here is his crib with letters we made and a mirror that i love!!! His crib is from Target and the bedding is from Serena and Lilly  We got the letters from hobby lobby and then hot glued zoo animals onto the letters and the orange ribbon I was really into bamboo shades and love the way the windows turned out with the brown and white combo. His changing table is a dresser we got from the Pottery Barn outlet and then we got the cover from a shop on Etsy Ryan's dad repainted this rocking chair for Jackson. It was the chair that Ms. Cindy rocked Ryan and his brothe...

Lesson in the Messes

I am having a moment where I need some blogging therapy....been so long since I have hit the blogging scene but today I just felt the need for some bloggin'. At 9 am today, I was covered in poop and headed down the road of a full on melt down (me, not my 2 1/2 year old or my 10 month old---ME). We are in the throws of potty training and my type A self is taking accidents way to personally....am I alone here? I pray not.....Anyways, Jackson says he has to poop but I cannot get there because I am changing my 10 month old's poopy diaper and I tell him just to go in his Pull Up. Which I am going ahead and embracing Pull Ups after an accident soaking the entire couch and another one involving a fairly new rug!! Anyways, I finally got him out of his chair about 30 minutes later and there is poop everywhere- I mean EVERYWHERE...covering the chair, my son, his feet, his legs but I do not realize how much body surface is covered until I get him into his room and start changing him. I...
