our summer so far!

an update...the short version...

May 15 - we closed on our beautiful house & moved in with a slew of workers, trucks and car loads. we could not have done it without all our friends and family helping us!

May 17 - Senior Graduation & a hill country wedding in Fredericksburg. Jordan gave an amazing speech and we had a blast with our friends celebrating another couple joining in marriage.

May 23 - last day of school & summer 2014!

May 27-30 - I ran my first volleyball camp & had a great turn out! My high school kids sure help out in ways I cannot repay. After 4 full days and 8 hours of coaching each day, I was exhausted to say the least but thankful for a successful camp!

June - lots of house projects...painting all rooms, removing wall paper, painting trim, removing & painting all doors, removing carpet, painting door knobs & hinges, buying furniture off craigslist, finding unique pieces at max's house (awesome consignment/antique place) and now awaiting new flooring.

It's been a crazy June already filled with more projects than I can handle and more paint than I ever wanted to buy. My head has never been more overwhelmed with decisions, but I'm learning more each step of the way. Sometimes I stop in the middle of my thought process and can't believe how much pressure I'm putting on myself to decided on a shade of white or grey. It's the littlest things that God speaks to be most. I'm am ready to be done with projects for now. Jordan and I are both ready to through open our doors for guests and company. We are looking forward to all that is to come and every day it gets a little closer.

We are extremely grateful for this home the Lord provided for us and the place he has put it. We have been here just over 5 weeks and couldn't be happier. We look forward to spending our time with others and not on projects.

Ready for a getaway this weekend on the coast with some family!
