Farewell Murfreesboro, Hello Hendersonville!

-
It's that time again. Time to move, time to share, make new friends, to renew, refine. Although I will definitely miss the Boro I am so thrilled that God has answered our prayers about this lovely town called Hendersonville! It has a duck pond, local restaurants to discover, Christmas trees to be hung, and believe it or not- waaaay more beautiful sunsets than the Boro! And who knew that one of my best friends Kelsey would be just around the corner so much to visit her boyfriend who works at our new church! God is always taking care of me.

This time last year Blake and I kept itchin' to move to the Nashville area but we weren't sure how to do it. We felt our hearts detaching from the city and moving on...and here we are! Thanks to our wonderful friends Bryan Johnson, and Ashly and Tyler Haynes we are all packed up and moved into our new apartment. Traveling to my sister's house to see our nephews and niece is only a ten minute commute! We're so thankful for this time to join closer together as in a new environment. Even Lolly cat is fully adjusted thanks to the giant maple tree outside our window filled with mischievous squirrels and birds for her to look at! 

I lived in Murfreesboro, TN for six years; five by myself and one and four months with my wonderful husband Blake. It was challenging at first moving into that little dormitory all alone but I grew to love that little town. All I can think about is how much we have to be thankful for! I'm so thankful for our amazing college ministry and all the relationships that came with it. I mean, this was the town that I met my HUSBAND! (the bridge we got engaged on is below)! I remember back when The Avenue didn't exist! It will be strange not walking on the square, stopping by "The Write Impression," "City Cafe," "Marina's On The Square," or walking on MTSU's campus for a ball game. It's just the time for us to move on and begin a new chapter. But before we do, one of my favorite things to do in Murfreesboro that I was unable to do before we left was taking pictures. Here are a few beautiful shots with my old cameras that I took last year and the year before in November. Enjoy.

The day we got engaged, Kelsey and I were taking pictures in the exact location that I'd be proposed to...crazy!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th

What to Think

-

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.   Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.  The Lord is at hand;   do not be anxious about anything,  but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.   And  the peace of God,  which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.   What you have learned and  received and heard and seen  in me—practice these things, and  the God of peace will be with you. ( Philippians 4:4-9, ESV) If there's one thing I find myself dwelling on lately, it's when will I have a normal day? There's something about predictability that is comforting. Every day after lunch I have to have some coffee... and

Fall Afresh On Me

Fall Decor At Our Tennessee Home I apologize in advance for this crazy and loaded blog post. I tried blogging about one topic and then it just exploded. So, enjoy! Fall Afresh? What does that mean? It happens to be the lyric of one of my favorite songs lately.  If you haven't heard of Bethel Music or Jeremy Riddle, here's a song that just might bless you. I love the lyrics! "Spirit of the living God, come fall afresh on me, come wake me from my sleep. Burn through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow." That is my prayer!! I grew up singing hymns mostly so I knew this song came from this hymn , just in case you were unaware!   I've been thinking a lot about seasons, particularly fall since it's my first fall away from home. This song just so happens to have the word fall in it so I just had to share it with you!  I'm so thankful for the meaningful relationships we had in Tennessee. One special lady even surprised me just yesterday by
