Dreams

Dreams. We all have them, but we so often we tend to fantasize about them rather than make them a reality. I truly believe that the Lord puts things on people's hearts for a reason, and many times that reason isn't so that we will be lazy but rather so that we will take a leap of faith and trust in Him.

I've been thinking about dreams a lot the past few weeks. I realize I have so many but for some reason  I've been too afraid to pursue them. I've been afraid of what it will take to make them a reality; fearful of the future. But we aren't called to be anxious or fearful. In fact, Christ tell us to rest in Him. He knows the future, and He wants good for us.

That said, I'm finding myself more hopeful. Excited to really hit the ground running and pursue a life fulfilling my dreams. I've already got a number of projects in line to get me started and I'm just as excited to share them with you here on the blog.

Here is a simple list of a few goals I have over the next few weeks. And of course you can follow along as I share them here.

- Begin eating healthier
- Stick to my workout routine
- Paint and decorate the powder room
- Work on our dining room
- Organize the pantry
- Organize and decorate the master bedroom
- Decorate the guestroom/office

P.S. I am in LOVE with Lara Casey's inspirational desk art. I can't wait to get my hands on a few of these to place as reminders around our home! She is truly an inspiration of what it means to follow her dreams!

A lot has happened...

I know, it's been literally forever since I last posted a blog. Okay, February to be exact. I promise I'm still alive and breathing but a lot has happened over these past few months that has kept me much busier than I ever expected. That said, I'm back in full swing and can't wait to share what I've been up to.

Since we last spoke, I've been doing my best to make the most of Albuquerque and make my house a true home. A place where my little family (husband, pup and I) can come after a long day of work and totally relax, unwind and replenish our souls. God blessed us with a beautiful home, it is a hundred times more wonderful than I ever expected and I continue to be give Him thanks for it each and every day.

We've also been super busy with work, I took a promotion right before the holidays and things haven't slowed down since. It was another of God's great opportunities, allowing me to step up and continue to grow in my professional life. I couldn't be more blessed to work with such an amazing group of people!

Earlier this summer we also had a dear friend call us to let us know he was moving back to town for training (he's a pilot in the Air Force) and we offered to have him stay with us for the six months or so that he will be here. So we know have a new two new roommates, him and his sweet dog!

That doesn't sum up the entire time but I believe it hits the important highlights. We continue to CrossFit at our box every morning, make homemade dinners together at night and we continue to lead a Community Group at our church.

While it may not seem like much but the last few months have literally flown by. It's like I blinked and they were gone. So here I am again, back to capture this amazing journey called life.
