{i'm back! AND... with an update!}

Hey there bloggers!

Long time no see uh? I've been gone for six months. GASP! Oh my goodness. Let's just say that it was a much needed break but also a time to reflect on what I want this blog to be and where I see it going in the future. You'll see that I've made some big changes and updated all of my pages at the top (including our love story and wedding pictures! YAY!). Taking time away from blogging really allowed me to focus on my new family, my passions, interests and also grow as a human being (because who stops the growing process right?). Anywho... it's all about honesty here and I love being able to do that with my blog too!

One of the exciting things that I am SO thrilled to start on this blog is monthly series. I will have guest bloggers, artists, and just plain cool women (even some brave ladies from my own family!) to talk about change, love, raising kids, growing up and just living. We all need a boost and so why not help boost each other up? Right? Of course right. :-)

AND, to the update. I am moving! Seems to me that alot of bloggers are moving out there. Maggie at Gussy Sews, Naomi at Rockstar Diaries,  Molly at Urban Nester, and Britt over at Secondhand Magpie. Whoosh. Lots of change. How'd it all go down? Well, Husband was blessed beyond peachy pie to get a nice new dig down in the big city of Minneapolis, he starts next week! YIKES! That means little Emme here has got to get herself packed up with the two furry kids, including selling a house and get her little self down there soon so that she can be with hubby (could be a month or so). So it's farewell to the Northwoods and holla to the big City. Never thought I'd actually say those words out of my mouth but heck, when you follow an awesome God you go where He leads you and to the City we will go. Oh and for the record? Both of us are SUPER excited. Like beyond excited. So cheers to fresh starts and follow the call! YAY!

Oh and back to regularly scheduled blogging starting in September. With a list of my new personal goals, blog goals and a series on change. I know with all the change I'm going through lately it sure has caused me to fall on my knees more then once in prayer. So lets adventure through the good old book together and see if we can't fiind some encouragement and inspiration to set our feet on the right path. Shall we?

See you in September!

I know I've been absent. In fact, I'm pretty sure that isn't even the right answer. If I was on a team like Biggest Loser, Amazing Race or Survivor, I'd get kicked off for being a really bad team player.

Honestly though... I've just been really busy with life. No soo busy that I am not enjoying it but so busy that I am honestly not having enough time to do all the things I love, and still sit down at this blog every day and write out the details, the inspirations and or the stories of said adventures. When I crawl in to bed at night I am pooped. That good bone tired, "that was a GREAT day" pooped.

So, after much thought, I've decided to take a little hiatus away from blogging until I can figure out life, my routine, and more importantly time manage myself better so that I can actually take the time I want to to create worthwhile, swoon worthy posts that you all deserve.

Sorry for being boring and sorry for not being perfect. But just so you know, I am watching all of you, reading all of you, and being inspired by all of you. So keep up the good work and keep smiling! Because that's what I'm doing. Smile after smile after lovely smile. God's been good to me and I'm livin' it up in a BIG way.

Love you all!

For some reason... all I needed to see today was this picture. It lifted my heart. I guess I'm already sick of winter and looking forward to warm breezes caught up in brightly colored scarves.

Breathing space. Sometimes... everyone just needs a moment to rest.
