Step One: Baby

Wow, I completely forgot that I started this blog when we first moved to Colorado two years ago. It’s crazy how much has changed in such a short period! We still love it here, but in two short years we went from DINKs (Dual Income No Kids – I’m stealing this acronym from our friends because I think it’s fun) to DIOK soon to be OIOK 😀 and me a SAHM (ok, I’m getting a little carried away with acronyms I think!).

Anyway, we have officially started our little family; we welcomed our son Dylan into the world mid-day on his due date. Becoming a parent is such an amazing thing… I can’t believe how much my mindset has changed now that I’m a mom! My mom was right when she told me what changes when you become a mother. She said that you go from “I want, am, need” to “he/she wants, am, needs”… at the time I disagreed with her because I refused to believe that I was that self-motivated/self-involved, but she was right, I was. Everything is so different now; I really don’t matter anymore in comparison to the tiny life that God has blessed me with, and that’s not only ok, it’s WONDERFUL!

Well, that’s all for now. I plan to start updating this more now. Not that anyone’s actually reading this, but hey, what the heck, right? 🙂

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
